    when you say "volts from the power supply are normal" are you indicating from the electric in my house or some else?







    Thanks for taking the time .... yonx99

    My plasma tv is not working. The red power light blinks 10 times and that is all. Please help.

    Same problem! I was watching TV and then the TV simply shut down, and the red light in the lower left corner started blinking 7 times. The TV is just out of warranty, of course, so it will cost quite a bit to fix. It will also be a real pain to repair, since this is one heavy TV. Right before the Superbowl, as well. I remember not too long ago when TVs never broke! No more Panasonic products for us, ever!!!

Have you tried manually changing the channel from the set itself? I have a sanyo that goes into "sleep" mode and I find if I change the channel manually, not w/ the remote, it will come back on.

The 7 blinks means that the SC scan drive board might need to be replace but only after checking the voltages from the power supply. If the voltages from the power supply are normal, then proceed to replace the SC scan board.

PANASONIC TV P42ST30B JUST WENT OFF NOW RED LIGHT FLASHES 7 TIMES, STOPS, THEN FLASHES 7 TIMES AND SO ON

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Panasonic Plasma TV - Model # TH42PX77U does not turn on and red light next to power button blinks 7 times - what does this mean? What would be a good estimate for a repair - parts and labor?

This is a difficult question to answer completely. 7 blinks indicates that one of the C boads has failed. however, there are several an SC,SD, SS and SU.
The procedure is to disconnect each of there boards until the blinking is eliminated. The labor charge is usually around 200.00 and the cost of whichever board is bad. Hope this helps.

7 red flashing lights, won't power up..

Check the power board for capacitors with the tops bulged up. They are 3300uf 10v. There are either 2 or 4 of them depending on your set.

Flashing RED lights in Panasonic TVs means a fatal error code. Unplug the TV, wait 1 minute and replug. If the LED still flashes it needs professional service.
