Re: Pioneer Plasma TV on standby and won't power on

LED in front of set doesn't blink, stays constant red. I don't have the remote, when I press the power button, nothing happens exept the one little red LED on a small board between the power board and the main board turns on and also stays constant red (don't know if there's any significance to this little light), no clicking no buzzing, no humming, fans don't turn on.

Media box? like dvd/direct tv box/ps3? I don't have the TV hooked up to anything, it should still power on at least without anything hooked up right?
