Yes it should still be covered find ur direction book and check out ur warranty and see if Panasonic will come out and cover it. Always beef up ur story you have been Panasonic owners for years when u call them. You have gotten all of ur friends and family to switch ect... Even if it's not covered sometimes loyalty goes a long way.

assuming that you have changed the batteries, I say, like ours, it was dropped many times. if that is the case then the sensor light is finished, kaput, busted. your best bet is to buy a universal remote and program all your devices in it. " one remote, no headaches".

The number of flashes is indicating a specific error. If you let me know how many times the light is blinking I will let you know whats most likliy causeing the issue. Reply to this same post for assistance.

Be very careful if you open up as the high voltages in capacitos can take a very long time to discharge unless discharged properly and if not done can Kill you even if tv switched off and unplugged the capacitors need to be carefully discharged- look up details on web .It may very well be the plasma screen is needing replaced and if so is too costly to contemplate and best to buy new tv.

All cable company's have a remote that can also control your TV. Flip your cable remote over and find the part number on it.

If all else fails, call your cable provider.

Question about Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ80U Plasma TV? APPS?

As far as I can tell this TV does not have apps on it, here is a link to the users manual: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TH42PZ80U.PDF

http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TH42PZ80U.PDF Here is a copy of your users manual, it tells you how to adjust the color on the TV, Magnets do not affect Plasma TV's.

Most likely a bad Y-DRIVE or Y-BUFFER board, 10 blinks is one of those two and not cheap to repair.

Since this question is almost a year old, I don't know if you have fixed the problem or thrown the TV in the rubbish bin, but looks like you're still waiting for a response. If so, here is my answer. It could be that these TV's have a back-up battery that discharges if left unplugged for some time and might reactivate the system once fully charged. It could be an environmental factor too. Maybe room temperature is too high that makes the TV shut down to avoid damaging the components. Is the TV near a fireplace or heater? There are Panasonic customer support centres, you should email them and ask, but, I would recommend you make a clear and concise explanation what exactly do you mean by the words you wrote here. Sure, I understand that when you unplug the TV, and then you plug it back on and it does not cut, cut? What do you mean by cut? Are you trying to say it doesn't work and that the pilot light doesn't come on until a week later? You don't even explain how long you had the TV unplugged. did you unplug and then plugged it right away, or did you unplug it and then plugged it a few months later? whatever it is, I suspect this TV must have a back-up capacitor as a battery. Or it could be that some damage has been done during an electrical storm, but I doubt it. Best ting you can do is leave it connected and observe if it repeats the same problem. If it does after a short disconnect then reconnect of the plug, it may require an expert check-up by an authorized TV repairmen, because this is really an unusual occurrence. Hope your problem will be sorted, or has it? It's almost a year now.

Check out the charts to determine the faulty part. Likely, there is a burned out component and it needs the board needs to be replaced.

It is an issue of automatic gain control software for the audio signal. The issue happens if you have a short outage of your cable signal. The TV tries to amplify the audio signal that isn't even there. When the signal returns, the TV software is not programmed correctly to drop the amplification (not automatic gain decrease -just increase). The only solution is a factory reset of the TV.

No it will cost more to have it fixed than to buy a new led smart tv equivilent

Film capacitor Is bad. So the power relay and capacitor need to be replaced. One pretty much wears out the other. Parts are a pain to get a hold of. But very cheap. 1/2 dozen of each cost around 50 cents delivered from overseas.
Relay is a small rectangular box. It's what makes the clicking sound. Film capacitor is usually yellow or blue colored. Rectangular with two leads to the board. Almost directly next to relay.

Hi.Please check the fuse of your television located inside the TV.Try to remove the back cover of your TV and find the fuse location.Its located at the back right near the power supply.Check it if is busted and replace the same valiue of fuse.Unplug the TV before removing the cover to avoid electric shock.tanks

I am not familiar with "ride", it would have to be something that is programed in from the remote. If you still have a manual for the remote it would be your best bet. Some of those remotes and all the functions are a nightmare. If you do not have you can probably go to the Mfg. web site and enter the model # and down load a manual for it. Good Luck. Col.
