Hello everyone and thanks for reading my post.
Here's what I have: 42" Panasonic plasma HDTV model #42PZ80U from 2008. I'm pretty sure the issue is the result of a recent electrical storm. When I turn it on with the remote, the red light comes on and you can see a change in the screen but nothing else happens. It does not seem to respond to the remote at all with the exception of turning it on. The remote will not turn it off and it doesn't respond to any of the keys. It also does not respond to the buttons on the front of the set. The red LED is solid with no blinks and the unit will power cycle about every 5 minutes on its own. I can unplug it and then plug it back in and hear a slight click from within the set. I have removed the back and can see no evidence of burning or damage to capacitors to my untrained eye. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for diagnosing and repairing this.
Thanks in advance
Tim
