The Vieras have standby codes that are not published because few Plasma TVs are serviceable by owners. Power surges will cause the blinking sometimes and the only remedy to the owner is to unplug the TV for a few minutes to let the power supply reset and plug it back in to see if you still get the shutdown mode blinks. If you do, the only remedy is to contact Panasonic at 1-877-95VIERA (USA) or 1-866-330-0014(Canada)
I have the same model and have the same problem. I have an Onkyo receiver that connections to the TV via HDMI cables. If I turn the TV power on first and then the receiver I don't get the blinks.
Well, first your model number is the 42 inch, but I digress...
I had a similar problem with a Viewsonic 27 inch, with the blinking power light on a failed power-up. It turned out that replacing the power transformer was the ticket. However, as I have the 50 inch Panasonic plasma, I know that the transformer is built into the set itself. I'd still suggest that this is what needs replacing though, as this is different from a set being on but having no picture.
I have the 52" version of the Viera model. Mine went out last night and started blinking twice over and over again. I suspected overheating so i just went to bed and tried it in the morning with no luck. Then I unplugged it for more than ten minutes and plugged it back in and everything worked fine. I hope this helps.
it could have over heated you can try to reset it first unplug it for about five minutes and try to turn it on if that dont work the remote might have a set button try holding that down until the red light flashes twice, then turn it on if not then hold the power button down on the set for a good five seconds to see if that resets it. if none of that works you will have to go to panasonic .com for the reset instructions.with the red light blinking the power supply is most likely good you just need to reset i.
I opened the back and the power supply board is a nice burnt color.
Thanks
