Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U died - Blu-ray Forum

ajkj9 · 02-24-2009, 03:03 AM

So I came home from work tonight prepared to watch a blu ray. Upon arrival, however, I found that my tv wouldn't work. It instead just flashed a red light at me 7 times. I have researched a little and found that this means the tv has died and I must contact either Panasonic or the place I purchased it from (Nebraska Furniture Mart). With so many people on this forum that have this tv though, I was hoping that there was either an easy fix or a step by step process of how exactly to go about resolving the issue. Thanks for all your help in advance.

Sorry to hear that. It is annoying to have that happen (I know).
It sounds like the main Power Supply PCB.
My older model TH-42PZ700U had the same issue with the 7 red flashes. They changed a large PCB inside it to get it working fine again....

If the warantee is not with your Nebraska store, than Panasonic concierge service should be able to help.

Panasonic customer service is great. Call them.

Did you ever get this fixed? If so how much did it cost?
