Power board it dead,take the tv aparts.Check for Capacitors parts for puff up or burst open.Know how to solders?replaced these capacitors in the power board.Or replaced the whole power board.Tries Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com.

Unplug TV, unplug HDMI cable, plug in tv, turn on, plug in HDMI

Unplug the power cord, wait and watch the power light until it goes out completely, then wait 3 - 4 more min. and then plug the power cord back in and it should turn on.... its a hassle but at least it works.

solution of light blinking

if you have a warranty let them check it out before opening the panels, it may void it.... may be an internal power short.

Could be the P, PA, DG, H or DT boards may be defective.

Same problem with TH-42PZ700U. Took the plug out of the powerstrip and stuck it in the wall outlet and no fix. I will call Panasonic tomorrow. Thinking it might be a heat issue, cause it has been working again after it cools down for 20 mins. Only had this unit since 10/4/07.
