I have just experienced "the pop" noise. My unit no longer turns on

This exact same thing happened to my PDP-4330HD today. A loud POP and then nothing. The power light is now flashing red (5 times) over and over again. The failed power supply makes perfect sense. I think I bought my set in early 2003 or 2004 I can't remember exactly which year but it cost roughly $5K at the time.

I tried unplugging the set several times but no change. It tries to turn on but then the light starts flashing red again.

This exact same problem happened to me 2 weeks ago on my Pioneer PDP-4330HD, and it did indeed turn out to be the power supply. The good news is, you can get it fixed for free, because Pioneer actually recalled the power supply in this plasma and others a couple of years ago.

Here is a link to the announcement on their website concerning the recall. They say that they will do a free in home replacement of your power supply, but when I called the local pioneer repair place, I was told I would have to wait three weeks for an in-home appointment. I ended up taking it in myself, and it was fixed for free 2 days later. Now it works perfectly.

Here's the number to call Pioneer in case the link goes down:

I turn my Pioneer plasma HDTV on and it kicks off.

Way too many possibilites can cause this. The most common is a problem with the Plasma panel. Sorry. Best to get an estimate and get a price on the estimate cost. A free estimate will be worth the price - use a Pioneer service center.

Pioneer PDP 4330HD display flashes red LED 4 times

Hello,

Just seeing if you had resolved the problem as my mum's Pioneer PDP-433HDE which she bought back 2002 has developed this same fault.

It has been a perfect TV and done very well with plenty of good use, but I have a feeling the cost of repair - even if it is possibale will be costly.

Cheers

Nigel

Alas, the powerblock has gone.

Common problem on this model.

Only solution is replacement powerblock.

Pioneer used to repair this for nothing even out of warranty (they did for me), but they may not be so willing now, as your tele must be at least 6 years old. Unfortunately, it will be cheaper to buy a new TV than to pay for a contractor to fix it.
