Generally a two blink code means a faulty power supply. You can buy a replacement power supply online. I've seen them as low as around $120. I'm doing factual research for a potential class action lawsuit regarding these blinking light problems, so I'm pretty familiar with this stuff now. From most of the complaints I've seen people post, if you have a tech replace the power supply it usually costs between $450-$600 including the tech's labor time.
I'd like to hear more about your personal experience with the television. If you would be willing to share your story with me, please send me an email at [email protected].

12 blinks TH37PA30 panasonic viera

These blinks are fault indication, and known as blinking codes.From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON; you can get an idea about the faulty circuit stage inside the TV.This will make repair easy. For more information, check the link http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/.If the blinks continues, and non-stop, the fault should be with its main system control IC, and with the memory IC. Try this link too. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/

I have a Panasonic TH-50PE700U

I think if you Google research the model with "10 blinks" you will likely find it is bad power supply or related to it.

I plug in my TH-42PZ80U and it doesnt turn on but a red light blinks ten times.

Apparently this common problem is due to a faulty power board. Contact Panasonic for a replacement if it's under warranty (hopefully) or a local repair shop. Good luck!

TH-42PZ80U Panasonic Plasma, red light flashes 10 times

Panasonic said "A" board,
A board SOS Detect (Explanation)
10 Blinks SOS: The voltage regulators IC5400 and IC5401 in the A board generate SUB9V and SUB5V. The 9V and 5V from these ICs are monitored by IC1100. Any abnormality on the SUB9V or SUB5V lines, triggers the shutdown circuit and the MPU shuts down the unit. The power LED blinks 10 times.

But need to measure the connection SC2, if it short, it will be the SC board.

The knowledge obtain from: Real case of repair by myself.
Information from Panasonic training manual.
