isolate it to the TV, an input, or an input device. it might be just the tv audio config. hit menu on the remote and follow ur nose thru to the audio section - or RTFM.

If the TV is blowing the fuse in your house, It looks like a component in the power supply is shorted.
To fix the TV, you will need to buy a new power supply module or get the one inside the TV fixed.
Good Luck.

Does it display channel numbers or other pictures when you press menu or other tools? If so, it's a problem with the TV's video inputs. If not, it's something wrong with the projection hardware, matrix, or power supply. Failing that, I recommend contacting Panasonic's support center, and keep any information you have on buying the TV handy. Good luck!

Did you try another HDMI port? Are they all out?

reset button is usually under setup>picture>other. however your problem may be because of the lamp. If your TV is 4-5 years old you may need to change your lamp.

The power supply, and or some other board in the set has probably failed, and the supply is in the protect mode.

These sets are not serviced at the component level unless the fault is very simple. They are serviced by swapping out the modules.

As for the schematics, the service reps mainly use functional diagrams, and use the factory level alignment sections. They replace the failed modules and then do any necessary calibrations according to the service set-ups. At home I don't think you would have the necessary facilities and tools to troubleshoot the set and to do any of the calibrations if necessary.

As for the electrical power, is there any difference between where you are and back in the UK? If there is, and if you did not use the proper power conversion equipment the set was probably damaged.

Another aspect to look at is if the broadcast system is different between India and the UK. If so, the set will not be able to receive any programing without the proper conversion process. Signal conversion will add some quality loss.

I strongly think your set may not be compatible to the standards for the country where you brought it because of the fact that the set is not locally supported.

I am located in North America. When I was working in TV service we had people bring TV sets from different parts of the world. There were both electrical and signal standard differences. In the end, they had to buy a new TV set that would work locally. The foreign set ended up being a useless monument in a storage room.

Two flashes sugests that the power supply is faulty.It will have to be taken in to a service centre for repairs.

Sorry to here about your TV problems but it is almost imposable to help someone with technical problems if they don't list a product, model or P/N number.
Either-way, I would try moving the unit in an area where it has more breathing space if poss-able.
Also, is the unit in a air conditioned area or in a Damp basement or Florida room ?
I would also, go on line and see if Panasonic has any call backs on this unit.
This may be a feature which can be reset without to much trouble.
Next time please list the size & model #.

After power board replacement, have you done the voltages settings? It is a must and necessary. The voltage details will be on the silk label at the panel. Just visit this site. It has details about voltage settings to Panasonic Plasma TVs. Pull up older posts there. Check the site with patience. See it in 'Timeslide' option. It will make search easy. Detailed descriptions with illustration are given.

there is nothing you can do.the display  panel is defective and you must replace it

Make sure that there is actualy power going to the AC power source where the TV is plugged in. You can re-set the TV by disconnecting the power for about 10 seconds and then connecting it back again. If the set still does not start it will require service.

If the set is dead it is most likely the main power supply board that failed. The service tech would replace the power supply and also investigate to find the cause of the failure. Sometimes another board could have a failure and cause the power supply to be damaged.

If the set will not start up, it will require shop service. You can call Panasonic tech support to find out the authorised service rep for your area. Check to see if the set is still under warranty. If not, it will be expensive to service.
