    Zenith Z50PJ240 - White Screen with 'Power Only' displayed

    Turned on my lovely plasma and after about 30 seconds the screen below showed up. None of the inputs are responsive, just the red light flashes when I push it. Remote doesn't work either. To turn it off I need to unplug it and when I plug it in again it turns back on to this screen.

    I only found one reference to this issue with a different model but it didn't look super reliable. Only mentioned a 'main board fault'. The main board for this one is on ebay for $34 so might need to go with that.

    Anyone seen this before?

    Thinking about it some more, it happened right as I pushed the wrong button on the remote I use for this TV. It's not a Zenith remote. I pushed the 'open/close' button on the remote instead of the 'input' button and it immediately displayed this message. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I did find this which talks about universal remotes causing issues for LG tvs. Zenith is owned by LG.

    EDIT - So I fixed this issue by simply pushing the 'Exit' button on the remote I have. It's not a universal remote, but it's also not a Zenith remote. But it worked!! So this post is just for anyone in the future who might encounter this weird situation.
