Try changing the input device to something you are sure, works such as a DVD player.

Switch off TV manually, switch off power, remove plug and retry after 48 hours.

If problem persists, please refer it to a qualified service technician.

SOURCE: green interference on Panasonic TH-PX75U

Since the set is only 8 months old, it should still be under warranty. This may only be an internal connection problem, but opening up the unit will void the warranty. I would suggest that you call for warranty service. This is a problem with the set and has nothing to do with external devices or interference.

Keep us posted.

SOURCE: TH-42PX80U JUST TURNED ITSELF OFF

The 7 blinks indicates that a failure has happened within the Y main and the upper and lower y drive panels. I recommend you taking it in to a Service center for and evaluation.

SOURCE: HDMI inputs are not working

As crcelect suggests you can run the TV on RCA. You should also be able to use coax directly from your cable box. If you don't have cable you can use an rf converter to connect coax.
I have exactly the same problem with my Panasonic TH-42PX75U. I've been told that I may need to run a setup on my cable box to fix the problem. If I find a solution I'll provide details in a future post.

I was trying to connect my ps2 with Panasonic vieara tv but picther is in black and white and no sound

A black and white picture suggests you are trying to use a composite video input but the TV may be NTSC format while your game is PAL, or the other way round. Use a game with the correct format or use the separate RED, GREEN & BLUE inputs (may require a different type of lead).

My panasonic viera lcd, model no. th-42px80u, flashes green when powered up, then a sequence of 10 red flashes. whats the problem ? joe

Before spend $$ on replacement boards, make sure anything attached to it is powered off. Unplug TV for 5mn to 15min. Plug back in and it should power on. If not leave unplugged overnight before spending on a replacement board. We have to do this 2-3 times per year when someone forgets to turn off auxiliary components (receiver, DVD, cable box, etc) first. It has always come back on.

Panasonic viera 42 inch plasma, comcast digital cable. screen goes totally green. switch to comcast guide, green disappeared and switched channels, then back to original channel and all was normal. it...

It sound like you are using a component video connection to the TV, which is of variable specification. Try a different type of video feed from your Comcast box

Screen turns bright green and stays that way until I turn the TV off and then back on. Ususally happens during channel surfing.

I had the exact same problem with my Toshiba 26" LCD; it ended out being my cable box. The cable guy switched it out for a better model, and poof! No more problem. P.S., you don't have to turn the unit off and on; simply press a menu or information button and it will come right back. Using the TV power button that often can be hard on your set.
