I have a Panasonic PT 53X54J TV and it will not turn on. There is a small red light at the front that slowly flashes on and off. I have tried to unplug the tv then plug it back in, and tried pushing all of the buttons on the front, but it still will not turn on. What can I do to get it to turn on? - Dan Tilleman

Have you even replaced the bulb / lamp on this TV - other than the green light - did they turn solid red / orange at any point? My initial thought is you need to replace the bulb.
On a panasonic if its a "3" blink pattern its usualy a sign that the convergnce hsa failed. When this happens the tV will commonly shut down. You will need to call in a repair shp or get the parts from sites like www.TvRepairKits.com or just google convergence repair kit.
The
power light keeps flashing and the tv won't turn on. If you unplug for a
minute and hit the power button it sound like it is coming on then it
shuts off and the red power light flashes slowly. The TV is a Panisonic
1080i HDTV, about 6-7 years old.
You can unplug the tv for 1 minute and then plug it back in since you have a red light you know it is getting power, also don't plug it into a surge protector when trying this. If the tv still has a flashing red light a service center will need to repair the tv, replacing more than likely the power supply or small signal board.
Thats the error for convergence failure. You can get the PT53WX53G convergence repair kit at www.tvrepairworld.com the kit contains the parts and CD with instructions.
It is most deffinately a convergence chip issue. The die for no reason. They can be bought online for around $10 dollars and anyone with experience with soldering can replace them pretty easily. I have done it.
Power on the set, listen for afaint buzzing sound as the set tries to fire up. If you do not here it then your lamp driver, or ballast is most likely faulty. Also make sure you have the door and all covers back in place and secure. And make sure you insatlled an orginal panasonic lamp because some generic will not work.
