Default Panasonic TH-46PZ80U no picture

I have a Panasonic TH-46PZ80U. It has no picture or sound. I turn it on hear a couple of clicks then I get 2 red blinks on the led. I have repaired my VIZIO plasma it was a piece of cake. This one has me stumped. There are no noticeable blown caps. I also can't find any that are bad. A few are slightly bulged but only slightly and they test fine. Any help would be great. Thanks

Panasonic use high quality electolytic caps; very rare failures. You probably have the infamous "MC201"/"MC301" failure. See this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjpGKaBt8hg

When did you get your TV? My folks have a TH-46PZ85U that arrived in January 2009. No problems yet but according to that video it is one of the models affected.
