Thin red line,going across the TV Screen?

Panasonic TV screen won't turn on despite solid red LED light?

  • I have a panasnoic tv – model number TH-P42V20Z.We’ve had it for less than two years. Problem: When we try and turn it on using the remote, the screen doesn’t turn on and the red indicator light just stays solid. It’s like the TV just doesn’t respond to the remote. (It’s nothing to do with the remote itself – we have a panasonic DVD player and the DVD function on the TV remote turns the DVD playing on with with no trouble, as does the actual DVD remote.) Things we have tried to no avail: - Switching everything off at the wall and leaving for 10 minutes, then switching back on again - Turning off and on manually – when we turn it on again the TV does its clicking thing as if it’s about to turn on but then the screen just stays off and the light stays red. Then it clicks again about 10 seconds later. - Resetting the TV using the remote (holding down volume button and menu button) - Checked all the chords are secure (they are) - Reshuffled power source etc, even though the power is evidently fine because the red LED is solid If someone knows how to help it would be great! I feel like the problem will (hopefully) be something stupid. Everyone else with problems seems to have ‘blinking’ red LED lights, and the number of blinks apparently codes what the problem is. Our light IS NOT blinking, it’s just staying a solid red. Normally when we use the remote to turn it on, the TV clicks and the light goes green and then the screen comes on. Ugh. Technology will be the death of me.

  • Answer:

    Nothing is perfect and everything electronic eventually fails even mechanical parts fail.If you've done the reset on all equipment and checked all connections then then it may be internal,such as the dreaded but very common pcb board or capacitor or power supply issue.Its on here yes with alot of symptoms,I dont want to waste your time you already did the basic checks thats great.If you want Google the issue with your info ,model number etc and see what comes up for yourself.I wish you luck.I don't have a quick fix answer if you did what you said correctly.If it starts to click more than its a bad board or caps.

If you did all you say to no avail then it's on here all the time with different symptoms or led activity but always the same result.The caps go bad on the pcb board.You say youve done all the basics, then the tv should have started,

It made it PAST the warranty, didn't it? What more do you expect? In other words: CRT display did, on average & without a "mishap" last 1 to 35 years beyond the warranty; the latest display technology lasts MAYBE through the end of the warranty to (at most) 10 years.

there is a trouble on power supply board.....tv stayed on standby mode.....maybe (a)bad capacitor(s) .
