Question edited for clarity, full 'make model (what it is).
Question moved to Panasonic model category.

It is a good set, get it fixed professionally. This is generally the outcome for self repair.

unplug for a couple of hours. the tv holds charge and bleeds off electricity very slowly.

What is the model number printed on back of TV?

getting hot and shutting down try to clean it out could be very dusty inside

U WILL LAUGH, WHERE THE PLUG GOES INTO THE ACTUAL TV, NOT THE WALL, PUSH IT IN BETTER...I HAD EXACT PROBLEM AND CAME FROM 2 1/2 DAYS FROM GETTING NEW PLASMA!!! WHEEEW

shut off the all BBE and surround and the AL sound page 27 of the manual.

Hi to all, My 42" Panasonic plasma have the same problem. It turned itself off and now red light flashes 7 times, than after short pause 7 times again. And so on. Any ideas what is wrong??

same frustrating symptoms on brand new 42inch here! tv just turns itself off sometimes without warning or if changing to certain channels. leaves red light flashing for a while then red light goes away. any attempts with remote gives flashing green liht on tv. manual power off and on restarts tv but auto off again. found while manual power on keep changing channel on remote till stable picture appears. then use remote to shut down tv - solid red light indicates standby mode. then use remote to turn on again... till next time it happens. but what is technical fault??
