Has anyone had any experience with with pioneer plasma panels, this one is in an NEC PX-42XR4G and it powers up for around ten seconds then goes into standby with a red led on digital board flashing six times and refuses to power up !...

Hi all, I have a 2006 NEC PX-42XR4G monitor with a pioneer plasma display that I have recently taken out of storage and all was fine for around three hours then the set went into standby and refuses to power up ? I have taken the back off and I have a red surface mount LED on the digital board flashing six times ! The caps on the PSU board look fine and none appear to be excessively bulged or leaking ! I want to repair this display as it has a VGA port for my desktop computer and one HDMI port for my PS3 and blu ray player !

I have an NEC PX-42XR4G with a pioneer plasma panel and have a similar fault ! Might try and power it up with audio amp disconnected !!! I have six blinks from red LED on digital board and the monitor refuses to come out of standby ?
