    I was watching TV and all of a sudden it turned off and the red led on the front flashes 7 times and stops and the starts again.
    I called Panasonic and they said to try a different outlet and I did and then they said that they have to send a service-person out to fix it and maybe replace parts. Luckily it is covered under the 1 year parts and labor warranty. But I have to wait until Friday. So I might just bring it to Best Buy and swap it for one that works.

Hello Everyone. My name is Mervin Guy. i have over 20 years experience in the TV repair business. Spent a lot of years with Advisory TV & Radio Labs. Then With Circuit City until they close. I have the Fix for the Panasonic 2 blinks error and also the 10 blinks fix. This is for the TH-42PZ85 , TH-42PZ80, TH-42PZ800,. I am listed here under the name circuitcity. To get the fix you have to ship your board to us. You can check us out on e-bay under the name "startny" or at circuitsquad dot com. We have a 100% feedback at e-bay. I must have fixed over 200 of these board and never a complaint. I cannot give you the fix in this public forum because its a business for us. I am just offering the true fix for those who really wants it. You can also find me at atomicmall under the name Circuit Squad. This is the real fix and not some guess or perhaps fix. Call me at 347-831-6372

    Hi, If i was in the USA I'd send my board to you, but it's a long way from the UK! I've been advised that the 10 blink problem is likely to be due to the NPMDPPNCA thick film module, circuit reference MC201 and MC301. Can you advise if these are the parts that are usually to blame?

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!
