I have a Panasonic Viera less than 12 months old. All of a sudden it turned itself off and now won't hold power. It flashes on green, then makes a clicking sound, then the red light blinks 4 times. Can you please advise what I should do with it.

This is a common problem an a failry easy DIY fix.

Plasma and LCD TV sets are prone to having capacitors in the power supply section fail. This is the most likely cause for the probem you describe. When capacitors fail your will commonly see one or more of the following symptoms.

  • No video, Power light is on or blinking.
  • TV is making a clicking noise.
  • TV takes a while to come on
  • Screen is very dim or flickers.

Again, You can get a power supply repair kit with the parts, detailed instructions, and support from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com . Or just click here to see more details on their kit.

Here are pictures of capacitors...Notice that the ones below look bloated. They have failed and will need to be repalced.

I have cracked the screen it made a flash then nothing now a light blinks can it be repaired only 2 months old

The screen itself cannot be repaired - only replaced. Since it is the most expensive component in the entire unit, it is probably not cost effective to pay the cost of repairing it. Between the price of the part itself and the labor to replace it, you can probably find another unit somewhere on sale for less.

The flshing light could mean the power supply does not work correct. Can't deliver all voltages. But I can't get a service manual, so I can't tell you for sure.

Flashing standby light

Flashing red light can sometimes be fixed by holding down the power button on TV until it stops flashing then turn it off then on again. Disconnect everything except power cord before trying this. Mine was fixed this way and saved $500+ repair. Still going over 6 months on. Worth trying.

My panasonic viera lcd, model no. th-42px80u, flashes green when powered up, then a sequence of 10 red flashes. whats the problem ? joe

Before spend $$ on replacement boards, make sure anything attached to it is powered off. Unplug TV for 5mn to 15min. Plug back in and it should power on. If not leave unplugged overnight before spending on a replacement board. We have to do this 2-3 times per year when someone forgets to turn off auxiliary components (receiver, DVD, cable box, etc) first. It has always come back on.

Hi - we have problem with Viera tv. no sound or pic. switch on green light briefly. then straight to red light flashes 4 times then 3 sec interval then repeat. tv is just over 13 months old. any ideas.?...

Instructions Things You'll Need:
  • Damp Cloth
  • Fuse
  • TV Remote Control
  1. Ensure the power cable is securely fitted to a wall output if you can't get your Panasonic LCD TV to power up. Try testing the wall outlet with another appliance to make sure there is not electrical fault with the outlet itself. If there is still no power, a blown fuse may need replacing.

  2. Switch off the color correction option if you are using HDMI cables and the displayed image has unnatural colors. For instance, if a picture area that should be red is blue or green, then the color correction option may be the issue. Press OK on your remote control. Now access the Other Adjust option and scroll down to the Color Correction option. You can now turn the setting off, which should restore normal image quality.

  3. Press the Mute button if you can't get your Panasonic LCD television to produce sound. This may have been pressed in error, cutting off the sound. Check the volume settings on any other devices, such as a games console or DVD player, that are connected to your LCD TV. If the volume is set to low on such a device, it can limit the sound output on your TV.

  4. Check that the air vents at the lower rear of your Panasonic LCD TV are free of dirt and debris. Dirt can accumulate in these areas, causing the cooling function to under-perform. Panasonic LCD sets come with built-in safety features that shut off the power if your set becomes too hot. Clean the air vents with a damp, rather than wet cloth. Dust and vacuum the room regularly to prevent the problem from recurring.

Stand by light flashes red on powering up with remote and the green light flashes approx 15 or times before the screen illuminates.

thats pretty normal, it takes a good second or two to warm up and the display to turn on(at least0, you get the green flashes as you hold for on, 1 sec is a long time at times, lol, be patient, no problem with your tv!
