My 42hdt79 will only work on inputs. The air is just static

We had a bad lightning storm last night, and now my plasma tv only works on the inputs. When on "air" its just static. One tv got fried(actually smoked) after a close lightning strike. What could be wrong?

SOURCE: 42"HD PLASMA, No sound on Analog input

I think the problem is dry solder joints on the tv. What makes be believe this is you turning it on and off may have been moving the component/s into contact with the board or the act of you turning it off let everything cool down enough to return to their original positions. It now sounds like the contact has broken with the component and the circuit. If you can check for this yourself otherwise find a competant technician. Hope this helps.

Go Setup in the menu. At the bottom you will see Reset The Software when power is turned off. Switch this to No.

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

Panasonic tv hdmi inputs not working

It appears that during the storm there may have been an electrical surge that damaged the electronics of your tv. If the tuner is working fine then the affected area (board) is the one that has the HDMI input sources.

Check to see what input setting the tv is on. It could still be looking for a signal from the pc input connection and no pc is hooked up thus getting no signal. Have the device you are trying to display on the tv connected and turned on and cycle through the inputs on the tv until you get a signal.
