If you're under warranty, this will cost you nothing. If you're not under warranty the cost will likely be a minimum of $200 parts and labor. However, be warned that the cost could be considerably higher.

Hello
Is there any other code displays alongwith this 'Starting up' screen? . Just do one thing. Unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket and wait for 15 minutes or so. The replug it and switch it on. See whether there is any difference to this display nature. OK.

Try website like Remote.com to buy another original remote.

Do not remove the cover from set and apply power. IT is equipped with a protect circuit and it is not easy to over ride. You can remove rear cover and check the fuse located on main Power supply board. IT should be a 6.5 amp gma fuse. BUT put cover back on before plugging in. IF this does not repair contact shop jimmy or pioneer for power supply board.

Check the number of flashes (will be a sequence of just regular flashes... or a sequence of short and long flashes) ... once you have this ... call your service agent and ask for a quote ... first google the flash sequence and se what the code means.... could be as simple as a simple board change.

Before we start taking things apart, lets try your simple remove power plug routine and power system back up. Also, please try your unit on a few different channels to see if your problem continues on each channel. Your Main Board, Power Board, T-Control Board are suspected problems at this time. Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds, the unit should power down by itself after you have powered it on. If it does not, then do not be concerned. Let me know if the problem continues. The first link below will bring you directly to the troubleshooting guide if you need to continue forward with the same error.

Lets focus on the external portion of the TV set first (95 percent of all TV problems are related to things EXTERNAL To the tv itself) Check the physical CONNECTION of all cables by removing each wire bare or RCA and reinstalling it (Each power cable as well), once you have removed one cable, check it for fraying, and if it is already bare, splice a new fresh connection for it. 5. Check to make sure there are NO OTHER uneeded radios, system nearby. these systems, when powered on, will cause electromagnetic interference and prevent more than just severe tv interference SURGE PROTECTOR Surge protectors account for more than 75 percent of electric faults to stereo equipment. Lets start with your AC Wall outlet. It is standard in america that 220 Volts from out of these outlets. This implies that each device will be using 220 Volts (From within that grid zone). If anything including an alarm clock is plugged into any AC outlet socket in the vicinity of the stereo equipment/TV, it will cause electric outage, and prevent electronics from even turning on! Your TV needs dedicated electric power. If your TV is located in the living room then unplug everything else in the living room. Lets plug the TV set into a Dedicated socket. Check all light switches to ensure that power is on for that outlet. Check the TV cable for Fraying both on the ac wall end and where it plugs into the TV. Check all GFCI outlets to ensure that all red reset buttons are pushed in, check the circuit breakers for proper connection and they are turned on. Now, lets try the TV set without it connected to any cable services, vcr, dvd, stereo system, etc. Please respond if we have found a solution.

When troubleshooting these units, there are always several variables to consider. First check to see what last occurred with the unit such as did the children play video games, did the electricity go out due to bad weather. You may see that there are many possibilities but let's focus on what occurred last to the unit. Once we determine what happened last, we may isolate the actual cause of the problem. The actual cause may be associated with projection issues, older versions (Picture tube), interference from devices located nearby, and even a radio turned on and located really close to your unit. This is normally known as electromagnetic interference to electronics and is very common with the error you have provided today. Please continue to look for anything EXTERNAL to the unit before looking at the internal components. I have been working on these a long time so feel free to follow up with me.

Did you try another input source such as a DVD player to see if the problem persists? I have seen this problem occur due to malfunctioning cable boxes in the past. Please connect a DVD player via the HDMI input and let me know what you found.

The tv have a power supply board problems.That the board,where the power a/c cord plug into it.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

This issue is one of the boards in the tv is lossing raster, they call this the sustain board, Do not shoot the messenger as the tv is not in frount of me but I feel its the sustain. But have it checked out it can be fixed but it is going to hit your pocket book a few hundred dollars.

This could be one of several different problems. The MOST common cause of complaints of characters appearing in a black box in center of screen that we see @ my service center is due to customer having the "text" option of the closed-captioning feature enabled (often, inadvertently; navigating the on-screen menus and employing the multiple feature options of modern TV's can be problematic for even the most well-versed of us!); the user can readily tell if this is the source of the complaint by noting whether the characters displayed change from channel to channel, as they will if the display in question is simply the text function of closed-captioning. It is also possible that the display is an indication of the unit being in the "service mode", which is a feature employed by service technicians in diagnosing & repairing the set. More descriptive information on exactly what is being displayed---i.e., the size of the box being seen, exactly what characters are shown, etc.---would be helpful in determining just what this problem is about...perhaps p2412 could post a picture of what is being displayed?

You could have a couple of different things causing your troubles.
1.) it could be a bad panel itself and that would need to be replaced $$$$
2.) it could have a bad connection on the address assembly or the address board is bad. Can be repaired.$$
3.) could be a digital Video board that feeds the adddress board gone bad. $$
