The tv need for servicing, the cause is either bad regulator transistor in the power supply section or shorted horizontal output transistor. that is why the main circuit board doesn't get to turn on. to do the repair just ensure you have knowledge in repairing tv.

I had a similar problem. You likely have 1 or more bad capacitors on the power supply board. You can easily identify them - they have a raised or rounded appearance on the top instead of being flat. Remove the power supply board and take to electronics repair shop and have them replaced. The capacitors only cost me $4.24 for two. Now mine works fine. The repair man replaced them for free. It took him only 10 minutes to solder them on the board. Easy, cheap fix but manufacturer won't tell you that. I fixed this on 1-02-09. My 2 bad capacitors were "3300uf 10v" and I replaced with "3300uf 16v" but you might be able to replace with "4700uf 35 v" also.

SOURCE: Panasonic remote and volume/channel buttons do not work

My son put a penny in the SD card slot of my Pansonic flat screen tv. I finally got the penny out but now the volume and tv controls do not work. I can change the channels through my cable box but that is it. The volume does not work on my cable remote or the flatscreen. What do you suggest I do to fix this problem?? Thanks, Josh

SOURCE: Panasonic plasma TV model TH-42PD60U won't turn on

I had this problem in 2007 / 2008 here is what happened to me. Jan 09, 2008 - I also have brought the unit to the authorized Panasonic repair facility and the problem is a failure in the P-board which is the power supply board. The P-board needs to be replaced. The repair will cost $475 plus tax. $250 is for labor. The unit was nop more than two months out of warranty. This does not speak well for Panasonic. I have been researching the problem and it looks like this has happened to many of the Panasonic plasma TVs.
Jun 14, 2008 - As an update to my problem with the failed P board. Contacted Panasonic Service and talked to a customer service representative. I told them how I have purchased many Panasonic products and how unhappy I was with the failure of the product. They proposed paying the labor cost of $250 and I would pay for the part. I just hope it does not happen again.

Why won't my Panasonic 42 TCP42S30 42 Plasma TV turn on.

Switch off TV, switch off power, remove plug and wait for 48 hours and retry.
If problem persists, I suggest it is better to refer it to a qualified service
technician, since the back cover has to be opened for investigation/rectification.

My panasonic tv wont turn on and led light flashes twice

Our Sony TV sometimes won't come on when the switch on the tv is pressed. Weirdly, if we switch it off at the wall socket, wait a few seconds, then switch it on at the wall socket again, the tv switch then works......
Don't understand why this works, but if it gives you a work-around, it would be a lot cheaper than a TV engineer's visit....

65" mitsubishi rear projection tv won't turn

IF model number posted is correct and green power light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off:
On front of set press and hold both the Menu and Input (device) buttons at the same time for at least five seconds and release both buttons.

Power light will then blink a two digit error code like 2 blinks, 2 blinks, a pause and repeat it several times.

Let me know what error code is found and I will tell you what it means.

I have a ge universal remote and a panasonic tv but i dont have the directions on how to program it or what the codes are to set it up. i need step by step instructions.please help

There are two types of GE universal remotes. Does your remote use the 4-digit code or the 3-digit code?

These codes listed below are not for combination TVs (TV/VCR, or TV/DVD). If you have a combination tv, see the appropriate code list here: http://www.jascoproducts.com/support/universal-remote-codes.asp .

The 3 digit codes for Panasonic TVs are 003, 054, 055, 062, 070, 148, 149, 170, 171, 374, 381, 437 . If you have an LCD or Plasma Panasonic only try 170.

The 4 digit codes to try for Panasonic TVs are 1182, 0171, 0148, 0054, 0170, 0062, 0374, 0381, 0437, 0950, 0003, 0070 .

Next to program the remote: Turn on the TV manually. Press and hold the Code Search or Setup button (depending on your remote). Hold the button until the indicator light comes on and then release it. Then press and release the TV button. Type in the first code for your remote and TV combination. The indicator light should go off. Then point the remote at the TV and see if the TV turns off. If it doesn't, repeat the above steps. Once you have a code that seems to work, check if the remote controls all of the functions that you need (based on the available buttons on the remote). If you have a code that turns off the TV but doesn't control other functions, continue trying other codes.

There is an option to search through all of the codes of the remote to program the remote. Press and hold the Code Search or Setup button. Release the button when the indicator light comes on. Then press and release the TV button. Now press and release the Power button on the remote repeatedly and wait until the TV turns off. Do this slowly (pressing the Power button every 2 seconds). When the TV turns off, press Enter on the remote to save the code. Then test the remote. If the remote doesn't control all the functions of the TV that you want it to, then repeat the search.

Please note that the codes in most universal remotes are limited to those for devices released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed. If your remote is older than your TV, then you may need a new remote.

I hope this helps.
