Panasonic TV Reviews

I bought a 54" Plasma 1080P from Sears in January 2010. It lasted until November 2011, with the loud pop and 7 blinking light issue. Panasonic could not care less, as they sent me to a local repair shop, who quoted a fix that was more than I paid for the replacement Sharp TV (with a 6" larger screen) I bought to replace this piece of junk. I have used Matsushita electronics for years (Technics and Panasonic), but will never buy this brand again. If there is a class-action suit for these things, I'm in!

I just turned on my less than 2-year old 50" Panasonic Viera plasma only to have it "pop" loudly along with a quick flash of the screen then just a blinking red light at the bottom center of the display. It looks like this is a common problem and I'm going to get the runaround from Panasonic. This is the last TV I'll buy from them. I hope someone files a class action lawsuit. After a little searching, this seems to be a wide spread problem.

My 42" plasma TV popped really loudly and shut off, blinking 10 times. I had only had the TV one day short of 13 months. They want me to take it to a certified repair shop, which will charge me $75 deposit, just to give me a diagnosis. I don't have that kind of money to just throw away.

We purchased the Panasonic Viera 50" G20 600HZ Plasma TV on September 4, 2010 for $1,099.99 from Best Buy. On December 29, 2011, 15 months after the purchase and without an extended warranty, the TV suddenly quit working and we saw the "10 flashing lights of death". We were referred by Best Buy to Panasonic, who in turn referred us to the only authorized repairman for Panasonic TV's in our area. After performing a diagnostic, we learned that the board in the television was bad, as well as the display. The total cost of repair would have been $1,467.52. Panasonic had initially offered $225.00 toward the repair of the television, but that was with an initial repair estimate of $467.52. This is clearly a manufacturing defect and a class action suit does seem warranted if Panasonic does not stand by its product.

I bought a Panasonic 50" plasma TV (TC-P50X1) in June of 2009. Just over two years later it won’t turn on and I get 10 red blinking lights. When I called Panasonic’s customer service they said there was nothing they could do other than refer me to an "authorized" repair shop in my area to have a diagnostic done on the TV. I called the repair shop and found out that it would be at least $60 just to have the diagnostic ran and then another $400-$500 to fix the 1-3 boards that could be bad. So I could pay almost $600 to fix this TV or spend that much on a brand new TV (different brand of course). After researching this brand on the internet, it seems like there are a lot of customers out there having the same problem. Panasonic should replace the power supply boards as a result of the thousands of consumers with the same issue. These televisions are not cheap and Panasonic is aware of these problems but fail to stand behind their product. If there is going to be a class action suit, sign me up!

The TV was bought on Sept. 22, 2011. That is 6 months ago and it’s now doing nothing but blinking 11 times, the power light. After a few calls with Panasonic Support, they told me that the cost for the repair is going to be 590 USD, even when the monitor is under warranty! Well, if that wasn't bad enough, the cost for the new TV is 325 USD.

Is Panasonic really proud of its plasma masterpieces? I came across this site accidentally when I was looking for my problem in net. After a lot of research for finding appropriate TV, eventually I chose Panasonic 3d plasma TV ST30. After only 6 months, the TV died with a blinking red indicator. I called Panasonic agent in Iran and also service center but all the technicians told me that I could pay for the electronic boards of power supply. The costs were so different. It is so weird that the highest cost was for official agent of Panasonic in Iran about 500,000 Romans which is about $400 US dollars. Besides, as the technicians said, all plasma TV's of Panasonic go to death after maximum 2 years because of this failure in power supply board. I am so furious about Panasonic and recommend all the visitors not to buy Panasonic products because of disrespect to its customers.

Has internal bad connection shortly after the warranty expired, we could sometimes push or pull on the frame and get it going again. Now it does not work, has sound, but no picture.

I bought a Panasonic Plasma TV 50U1 in November 2010 and it died in February 2012. Over $1100 and all it got me was 1 year and 2 months! It's either another defective power supply or video board, but it will cost more to repair than a new one! This is a total scam by Panasonic and I hope it comes back to bite them in the **! I will never purchase another Panasonic product again and will make sure everyone I know does the same.

Well, just like everyone else here I've had my Panasonic th-46pz80U for just over three years. I purchased it in February of 2009 from Costco after returning a failed Vizio TV with similar problems after just 20 days. I was just talking to my fiancee about how I've never had any issues with this Panasonic TV and the day I go and upgrade my receiver and turn off the TV, I get the 10x flashing red lights. However, after unplugging HDMI cable and power cables TV will turn on after about 2 minutes and work fine until I turn it off and try to turn it back on again. I haven't called tech support, but doesn't even think I should waste my time, given all the problems everyone is getting from customer support. This is unacceptable, I've had a 42 inch Phillips LCD that I've had 2 years before the Panasonic and it has worked flawlessly since date of purchase.

I behold a last ray of hope which is why I decide to narrate my grievance to you and anticipate that the higher authorities of the so called multinational giant (Panasonic India) would ponder asymptotically and do the needful.

I purchased a Panasonic TH-42PZ80U 42-inch plasma TV in November of 2008. Luckily, I also purchased an extended warranty policy. I was very happy with it until July of 2011, when the problem started: the 10 blinking lights of death. The first couple of times I could get it to work by unplugging it for a period, then plugging it back in. $1200.00 for a TV that lasted just under 3 years? Anyway, I figured the warranty doesn't expire for several months, so no problem. The warranty company (and that's a whole other saga) sent a local service technician to check it out. Yeah, it's the power supply. It should be here in a couple of weeks.

I bought a Panasonic 42" Plasma TV less than 3 years ago. Now, like thousands of others, the television will no longer turn on, and I get the 10 blinking red lights. Panasonic denies responsibility, directing me, like all the others, to a local service center to pay for the repairs. There is clearly a systemic, track-able problem with these products, and something should be done, legally.

I have Panasonic TC-P50S30. I bought it on 1/13/12. It had blinking power light (seven times), on 1/30/12. Panasonic chat help result = internal failure resulting in power standby mode. The next step is that third party repair was scheduled for 2/2/12. I have no desire to have it repaired. I bought at Big Box store. It’s less than 30 days.

Panasonic 50" plasma THP50PX80U won't turn on, seems like I am not the only one having this issue. Most likely, not worth the cost of repair. Please add me to the list of unhappy customers!

I got the ten blinking light issue four months out of warranty on my Panasonic Viera 42-inch Plasma TV. The repair costs almost as much as a new TV. It's unbelievable that Panasonic will not issue a recall when so many people are experiencing this.

My Panasonic plasma TH-50PZ800U will not power up. The TV is only three years old and from what I have read here, this seems to be a quality problem with them. I would like to be added to any class action suit against them. I had to pay $1500 for a TV that only lasts three years. I am done with Panasonic.

I attempted to have my Panasonic plasma TH-50PZ800U power supply replaced, that was diagnosed defective by the service company that Panasonic recommended. The issue now is that the required replacement circuit board was not available anywhere. My choice was to spend $400.00 (parts + labor) to have the old board rebuilt with a 30 day warranty on the rebuilt part or scrap the television. Doesn't appear that Panasonic cares if its customers are taken care of or not. First, they dump products on the market that are clearly defective. Then, they do not even produce the repair parts to fix the junk they sell. Where is the U.S. Attorney General's office, why haven't they stepped in to rectify this obvious case of consumer fraud?

Our Panasonic (TH-42PZ80u) with S/N PA82250093 was purchased several years ago. When I turned it on the screen remains black. Then a red light blinks ten times and repeats. Obviously, a code to the problem. I go to the internet and feed in "Panasonic TH-42PZ80u, power light flashes 10 times and repeats." Apparently others have had the same problem as I have had. My question is: what is Panasonic doing for these customers to repair the problem? What will Panasonic do for me? Reply requested or should I say required?

I bought a 50 in rear projection TV from Rex TV in 2004. I paid over $2500.00 for it at the end of 2004. My bulb when out and I had it repaired under warranty free of charge. I was happy about that. Then a year later, the same thing happened again. But this time I was out of warranty, so I had to pay $300.00 to get my TV to play again, which I did. But to come to my surprise, my TV went out again. I called Panasonic and told them about my problem. They told me to take it in to a repair center that they use. When I got the TV diagnosed, they said it will be $500 to get it repaired. I called Panasonic back. They said they could not help me, so they had me take it there for nothing. I never picked up my TV because it has a $500 bill to a shop I know nothing about.

Plasma TV failed after less than two years. Two blinking lights and $1,200 later. I will never buy one of their products again.

I bought a Panasonic 50" Plasma in August 2010. It stopped working after 16 months. I started doing the 10 blinking lights like all the other complaints. What a rip off. If Panasonic will not stand behind their product then no one should do business with Panasonic.

Panasonic TV model TC-P50S2 purchased at Best Buy in August 2010. Stopped working in January 2011 with the dreaded 10 red blinking lights in front. I was reading on this site about unplugging various things or waiting for it to cool down and nothing works. I'm not going to bother with a repair since it sound like it's pointless and I will never purchase Panasonic again.

I bought Plasma Viera Panasonic 3 years ago, red blinking light with no picture. Was advised to unplug, wait ten minutes and it will work. Did this for about two weeks and was fine. This is no longer the case and TV doesn’t turn on at all now. It’s now out of warranty, spent almost $600.00 for a TV that lasted less than 3 years. I paid for at least half of repair bill and/or include me in any class action suit.

Purchased 46 inch Panasonic plasma in 2009 for $1400. LED now blinks twice. Contacted Panasonic and they told me to get the set evaluated. Got it evaluated ($50) and technician diagnosed a bad power supply and possibly a bad video board. Over $500 to fix, if both. 2 year extended warranty expired.

Just as all others have stated, I have a 50" Plasma that has the 10 red light blinks. The TV will not turn on. I have phoned Panasonic several times however since the TV is out of warranty. It is only 3 years old. Panasonic can only give me a phone number to a TV service repair in my city. I'm on my own from there. Panasonic should replace the power supply boards as a result of the thousands of consumers with the same issue. These televisions are not inexpensive and Panasonic is aware of these problems but fail to stand behind their product.

Purchased a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV, model # TC-P50G10. The TV only lasted for only 2 years, and it suddenly wouldn't turn on again. Bought it to the authorized Panasonic repair shop and quoted almost $700 for 3, yes, 3 "bad" circuit boards! This is just ridiculous!

Bought a Panasonic plasma model TC-P46U1 from Walmart on 11-04-09. On 11-17-11, the set would not come on. The trouble code window was blinking ten times. The Panasonic customer support person acted as if she was clueless about the problem and directed me to the closest repair facility seventy miles from me.

Broken Panasonic TV made in Aug. of 2009 bought in May 2010. The TV just started turning off when you turned it on. They were made with defective parts.

I was watching TV, then all of a sudden the TV went off and the light was blinking. I unplug and plugged back the TV and nothing. I hardly use the TV as is but now it seems as I won't be able to use it at all. I have other TV at home that 13 yrs older than this TV and they still work. Don't understand why this one would of stop. I'm very unhappy with this, it's a Panasonic TH-50PX0U.

Panasonic TC-P46G25 plasma that’s three months out of warranty produced a loud pop and a blue flash upon turning it off. After unplugging the TV from the surge strip to make sure I didn't have electrical fire, subsequent attempts to power the TV on result in a 10 blinking light error. After two visits from a tech dispatched by Panasonic, taking pictures of the TV with back cover off, surge strip and wall outlet, my requests for an update on my case filed with Panasonic support on 12-17-2011 are met with the response, "Waiting on word from a member of management." Has anyone had a problem resolved to their satisfaction? Seems like a high failure rate with a similar power related issues.

I have a Panasonic TH 42PV60E, bought it 4 years ago. I used to have that 'blinking power light' problems time to time. And nowadays, I'd say I can't watch my TV at all. It turns out itself. The power light blinks 9 short, 1 long and impossible to turn it on. I need to wait at least 2 hours to turn it on, and there's no guarantee that you won't face the problem again after 5 mins of watching it.

We purchased a "Black Friday" Panasonic tc-p42s2 plasma TV on 12/4/2010 from Wal-Mart online. It just died with the dreaded 10x flashing LED code a few days ago, just 1 month out of warranty. Based on the other postings in this forum, this is apparently a common issue. It certainly would appear that Panasonic dumped a lot of product on the market at that time that they knew had potential problems. Panasonic has referred me to a local service center but I'll obviously have to pay for repairs myself. Please include me in any class action lawsuit that you may have in process.

TV ran great for about 8 months, then began to develop the "10 blinking red power light" issue. Local Panasonic service provider attempted twice to fix the set, which was still under warranty. Everyone was very nice but the bottom line is I spent close to $1000 on a TV that lasted less than a year and appears to be unrepairable.

Panasonic (TH-50PZ800U) 3-year old plasma TV is 3 months out of extended warranty and I have been stricken by the 10 blinking lights. I contacted Panasonic; they referred me to on of their "authorized" repair shops. The replacement part (power board) is no longer available through Panasonic. So the repair parts for a 3-year old TV are not available from the manufacturer. What a great company. I know have a $2000-plus piece of junk that can't be repaired. I have a 3-year old TV that cost in excess of $2000.00 that can't be repaired because the factory quit making repair parts for it. So it is worthless.

I am bewildered as to why Panasonic would have these issues with their video boards that would cause the 10 blinking lights so that your $2000 purchase is garbage. If they are aware of the situation and make no attempt to have any customer satisfaction, why would they not think that their stock prices and company would not suffer. Word of mouth is always the best Advertising. Now I am going to not even recommend that $29 piece of junk (what ever it maybe) that they are putting out to the market just because of the name. A house full of guests and the TV blinks 10 times and goes out. It's a wonderful way to entertain on Christmas.

Have Panasonic 46" 1080p Plasma HDTV model TH-C46FD18. I bought in December 2008. It was working fine until 12-21-11, and then would not turn on for any apparent reason. It had a red blinking light on front. It blinked 10 times, then a pause & repeat. Researched on web and found this to be a common problem with Panasonic TVs. Called Company where it was purchased, no help. Called Panasonic & lady were aware of the problem but said there had been no recalls. She instructed me to call a certified Panasonic tech, of which none where local. Then they had to fax Panasonic a report of problem and maybe, Panasonic would help since it was out of warranty.

Newer Panasonic TH-50PZ80U has a blinking red light (10 times). Countless others on websites document the same problem. TV power does not come on! The TV is now useless and they are very expensive. They are unresponsive to solve or address the problem.

As many have reported, I have the red blinking light issue when the TV does not turn on. It is just over 3 years old and outside of any warranty period. The only way I have found to make the TV turn on is to unplug it from the back for anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes and then sometimes it will turn on. After reading the numerous reports, I have decided not to repair the TV. I would also be interested in a class action suit. During my mother’s time, Panasonic was the brand to buy. And now the company is putting out large pieces of garbage for our landfills!

My 50 inch Panasonic has 10 blinks and will not come on. I think it's done. I am disappointed in Panasonic for selling this produce knowing that there is a problem. This TV is 18 months old. This TV is a trash product. I need to be in on a class action suit. I will not buy a Panasonic brand again.

Panasonic Plasma TC-P65S1. 3 months out of warranty I get 6 blinking lights and need to hold the power button in to turn it on for 20 seconds. Panasonic paid for two boards to be replaced if I paid the $300 in labor. OK, but it still doesn't work and it is a $3,000 TV. I've been going round with them since September and still can't get any answers. The repair center says they can't get any response at all from the service rep or Panasonic. They are willing to continue trouble shooting for free but need support and they can't even get the support they need. Meanwhile I have 3 Vizio TVs, including a plasma, that are going strong 5 years plus. Panasonic has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. This is ridiculous. Theresa where are you?! Answer my emails ! I have a lemon.

So far for me, holding down the power button on the side of the TV for a few seconds and then releasing the button will make my TV come on and stay on. I have a 37" Panasonic TV that I purchased 4 years ago. I have just started having the blinking light/TV turns off problem. It only happens when I turn the TV on the first time for the day, so I know it's not a 'heat' issue. It turns on, I hear what's on the TV but no picture, and then the TV turns off. That's when I get up, hold the power button down on the side of the TV for a few seconds, release the button and the TV comes on and stays on, until a few days later and same problem. I'm going to be really pissed if my $400 plus Panasonic TV is toast in less than 5 years of use and it's only on a few hours a day! Panasonic used to be such a high quality product.

I purchased a 50-inch Panasonic television on January this year. Last week while on the TV, it made a mighty bang. I contact Curry’s where I got the TV and was given telephone for customer service to which I was told that it was the transducer that had blown as it was a common fault because the voltage was 220 and not 240. I was told I was only entitled to a repair to which I was not amused. Surely, when still under guarantee, I wanted a replacement and not a repair was told it would be repair contacted head office with an email got phone call. Next day, I was told it was being looked into and told her the same thing: I didn’t want repair and I wanted a replacement. I was told that the manager of store had to authorize this. I went to the store to be told all I was entitled to was a repair. I told the manager was not accepting this. I’m still arguing with them. I’m still waiting for report of fault.

My daughter purchased a Panasonic Viera 42" plasma HDTV for my wife and I for Christmas last year. It failed two days ago with the dreaded 10 red blinking lights of death! It literally was about two weeks out of warranty! From the investigating I have done on the internet, there are a lot of complaints on these TVs! I will be calling Panasonic tomorrow to complain. Something needs to be done, like a class action lawsuit by the Attorney General for defective merchandise and/or fraud for claiming to have a quality product with internal parts that fail too often! Now, I have a TV that doesn't work that is out of warranty and that I will probably have to pay to fix! That is just wrong!

We bought this TV from Wal-Mart on Black Friday, 11/25 /2011. We had problems at the start and now flashing, etc. We are going to bring it back with our cancelled check. We had the cable folks look at it, but they warned us that Panasonic is not Sony.

This is a 5 star piece of junk. I bought it on 12/2/11. There are already 10 blinking lights as of 12/13/11, which is the error code for "video board bad". Anything that has a one year warranty, you must buy an extended warranty, or just buy something else. I called Best Buy, and they set up an appointment with the worst appliance company the state ever gave a license to. The tech called to set up an appointment to fix the unit. I asked him if he had any video boards on his truck. He asked why, and I told him that 10 blinking lights means the video board is bad. He said no, that's power supply. I told him power supply is 7 blinking lights, so make sure you have both boards before showing up at my house. Side note, my DISH Network HD VIP 722k DVR box started having issues around the same time as above. I replaced that too. Maybe a bad neutral in one, that caused the other.

I got no help from Panasonic when reporting my issue. My TV shut off while I was watching and it never came back on.

We bought a 50 inch Plasma TC-P50S30, on November 25, 2011 (Black Friday). It was delivered on November 30, 2011. On December 10, 2011, with exactly 10 days of use, the TV shut off while we were watching, and did not turn back on, giving the "blinking light of death" seven times. Thinking we just had bad luck, we called Panasonic, and after 30 minutes on hold, and 20 minutes of talking with several technicians, who made us move around the TV, to "try different outlets", the result was a repair appointment, set up for 5 days later. Just deciding to Google Panasonic problems, I discovered this, and several other blogs and sites, with people claiming to have similar shut off problems from TVs purchased around 2007-2009.

I bought the LCD on March. On November, I found an issue where the channel used to repeat in all the channel. They have said that they are replacing the mother board instead of that a new TV would be replaced. Also, service is bad in Bangalore. They are very rude. They don't see the convenient time of the customer. Problem not yet solved.

I bought a 50" Plasma TC-P50X1 on 1/22/10. Tonight, it just turned off and won't turn back on. The red light would blink in series of ten but do nothing else. The first few times I turned it on and off it clicked like it was going to turn on but didn't. I contacted Panasonic support via online chat and got the usual run around. I plugged it into the wall and now the red light comes on, doesn't blink and goes off after about 15 seconds. I paid $700.00 and it lasted less than two years. Panasonic's response is contact authorized repair center. I always thought that Panasonic made quality products but after this experience and reading all the complaints, it looks like illusion.

I bought a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV in June 2010. Yesterday, it just quit and wouldn't turn on, 10 blinking lights, that is all. I called Panasonic, got a case # and was told to call a local repair. I am shocked at how many people are in my exact situation. I am irate that a company is knowingly selling TVs that die less than a year and half after the purchase. It's kind of funny that the warranty is only for 1 year. Something is not right here.

I purchased a Panasonic Plasma (TH-46PZ80U) TV in December 2009. The other day, I attempted to turn it on, but all I saw was a red light blinking on the bottom of the TV. I unplugged it, checked the batteries in the remote, and still it would not turn on. I went online with Panasonic, and explained the issue the light was blinking 10 times. He had me unplug it from the surge protector, and a few assorted things, and still the TV would not turn on. He told me he could order a service repair but I opted not to. I then Googled Panasonic Plasma blinking light, and was sickened by what I saw. This is not an isolated problem. Here is one of the sites:

Purchased 42" Panasonic TH-42PZ85U Plasma TV in 2008 and it just died on me. I'm getting the well known 10 blinking light issue. Please add me to any class action lawsuit. Although this is a well known and documented issue, Panasonic offers no assistance other than to refer you to an authorized repair facility at your expense.

I purchased a Panasonic plasma TV (TC-P50G20) in December 2010. It worked fine until 2 days after warranty. There was no power, no screen, and I have the "blinking light of death". There are many internet articles related to this problem and there has been no response from the manufacturer. I spent 1/2 hour on phone with customer service and they referred me to a repair shop, at my cost. Sears salesman told me this TV would be good for at least 5 years.

I purchased a Panasonic 52" Rear Projection DLP/LCD Model PT-52LCX35 a little over 2 years ago. About a month ago, I started seeing a blue blotch/spot about the size of a baseball. Considering, we were close to Black Friday, I thought, maybe it was time to replace it. A few weeks later, a 2nd spot appeared, and another week later, spot #3. Since we didn't buy a replacement TV, I decided to search my issue by its model number. Lo and Behold, there were many other people who experienced the same issue.

I bought a Panasonic 50" TV TCP50S1 in February of 2010. The TV will not turn on. I have to unplug the TV and wait until the TV resets its self before it will turn on. I called Panasonic and they referred me to a local TV repair shop. This seems to be a common problem with these TV’s. I would like to be added to a class action law suit.

I bought a 50-inch Panasonic Plasma TV (TC-P50G20) through Best Buy online about a year and a half ago. It cut off with the 10 blinking lights of death and it never came back. The manufacturer warranty expired after one year. TV repair company replaced two items (one of which was the motherboard) but it did not fix the problem. The repair guy said the panel had shorted out (repair cost is about what the purchase was).

The following is in regards to the Panasonic TC-P50S30. I purchased this television new from Sears on 10 Sept 11. Five weeks later, there is a blue line running the entire length of the television, which impairs visibility. Sears would not take it back because it was five days past the return period, so I had to contact Panasonic. Panasonic sent a technician to my house to inspect the set. The technician said that the entire panel needed to be replaced. I asked for a new television, but I was told that it was not going to happen.

I purchased a Panasonic Plasma 50-inch TV (model # th50pz80u) from Circuit City in around January of 2008. I have barely used my television for more than one hour a day and the set now has a larger 3" vertical black band on the left hand side of the screen. It's no longer under warranty and based on the user comments, I have a feeling Panasonic won't be compassionate or be willing to give any monetary compensation. I never plan to buy a Panasonic product again.

I purchased a 50"Panasonic LCD TV in 2008. As of 10-23-2011, the dreaded 19 blinking lights started. I now have a ** expensive wall hanger.

TV was working fine. Next morning, nothing. The screen is black. The fan come on, but that is all. I don't have any blinking lights except for the power button. I never got any warning or messages that something needs to be replaced or anything like that.

I had a Panasonic TC-P54S2, purchased on 10/04/11. It worked well for 1 year and 45 days. This TV is only used for normal use. We did our research prior to purchasing and unfortunately, we did not find what so many are reporting. We lose power and now getting the "10 blinking lights."

If I could vote zero stars, I would have. I am one of the many people that are having problems with blinking lights on the Panasonic plasma TVs. I know there was a class action against LCDs. There are literally hundreds of thousands of us that are unsatisfied with the TVs. Most of us have had our TVs for less than 2 years. The TV will not turn on no matter what plug you plug it into, no matter what room you put it in, no matter how patient you are. I was told (after contacting them three times) I had to go to an accredited repair shop and they would do a partial payment. I asked, “Is that 10% or 50%?” They couldn't answer. Worse yet, they referred me to a repair shop that is known for not being a positive experience!

I am so happy I found this site! We purchased the 42" Panasonic Plasma HD TV and it has been down since May, 2011 as there is no place in VT anymore as the closest repair shop (Rutland) closed down and we do not have the extra cash as this is the fourth time it has broken down. I purchased this in November, 2008 in Florida and broke down twice (10 blinking lights!). There and twice in VT. Though we have a case #, Panasonic is not helpful in wanting to assist. I say class action suit, sign me up!

Bought a 32 inch LCD TV Viera, September 2010. Called Panasonic three times in one day to try and get them to take care of my television that now doesn't work at all. Was told that it is out of manufacturer's warranty in which I knew that, but they are not concerned with getting it fixed or replaced. Read on the Consumer Affairs website hundreds of people are complaining about the same issue as mine but Panasonic does not seemed concerned. Every complaint pertains to the TV getting no power, whether it be a plasma or LCD. So ironic that so many people have the same issue. All I want is my TV fixed at their expense. I can see if it was 4, 5, 6 years old but 13 months, that is ludicrous.

My 58 inch plasma Panasonic Viera TV just died! Only 13 months old! I am reading on the internet of thousands of complaints and hundreds of dollars spent to fix each of these TV's. We as consumers need help. Panasonic is building bad products and sticking us with repair bills.

I had purchased a Panasonic th-50pz80u 50" 1080p plasma HDTV and for the 2nd time, its power source went out on me again. I had brought this TV in 2008 and within a year the red light kept on blinking and won't turn on. I called Panasonic and they said they only will go in on half of the cost to fix it from their reputable rep which still cost me $256 and then 2 years later, on 11/14/11, the TV is doing the same exact thing with the red blinking light by the power and won't turn on again!

My parents own a 55 inch Panasonic LCD TV, that is now not working after 5 years. That's not right. It will cost them $250 to get it fixed. They are both retired, and cant afford that. It makes me feel like Panasonic is a bad product. I am asking whomever may be concerned, to please make things right. I have had Panasonic electronics before, and would like to continue to buy, that is if Panasonic makes an effort. My name is Tony **, and if you need to contact me, please do. I will give you my parents' name and number. My number is **. I hope to hear from you to make this right, and to keep a couple customers.

I bought our Panasonic 50 inch Plasma TV in 2008 and it hasn't started to blink red lights but it is blinking to black and back to the show, still getting sound during this. Did this happen to anyone else? After reading through the forum, I am worried we may have wasted a ton of money on what we thought was a TV that would last a solid 10-15 years. I'd put my name on a class action!

I bought a Panasonic TV in December of 2007. In that time, the lamp has gone out twice, and is out now for the 3rd time. The model number is PT56LCZ70. I can't get any help from Panasonic. The lamp has a 5-year warranty. It was last installed in 03-10.

My 50-inch plasma HDTV, which was manufactured in 11/08 and purchased in 12/08 failed to power up. It has the two red blink problems that many others are talking about. I have troubleshot it to a bad power supply board. I am having problems locating one and Panasonic will not help me at all. The customer support department is of no help. They do not respond to my latest set of emails.

It's not about the store. It's about the product. We purchased a Panasonic 50" Viera TV in April 2010. But since we were waiting for the family room to be completed, we didn't set it up until Sept. 2010. We don't use the room that often and I doubt if we have 100 hours logged onto the TV. It has given us the 10 flashing blinks of death. We watched a movie on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. The flashing blinks came on. We were given a service representative to call for repair service, but the TV is no longer under warranty. We were told by Panasonic that electronics can go at any time. However, I don't feel we got our money's worth. We have six TVs in the house and the newest one just broke the quickest. The others are all over 10 years old, with no complaints. What can we do? Thank you.

I have a Panasonic PT-56LCZ70 TV. I have had many problems with it from the start. This has given me nothing but headaches. first the bulb has gone out on me 3 times in the first 3 years that i have owned it. I hardly use this TV and when I do, I would like to sit down and enjoy it. Now, they tell me that it could be the circuit board and that I might as well buy a new TV. I cannot afford a new TV.

We bought a Panasonic P46G15 back in April 2010 and it recently turned off and will not turn back on again. It blinks 7 times and we have yet to take it to a repair shop to see how much it will cost to fix it. The guy at Video only persuaded us to buy the floor model because Panasonic is such a "great brand." We thought we bought warranty on it but we came to find out a year and a half later, that we didn't (which is odd because I buy warranty on everything). The guy at Video only said that they had an in-house warranty but it was only for a year. That doesn't help us out any.

I had a TH-42PZ80UA and the 10 blinking lights. Like many others, I found a ton of complaints online about these TVs. I called Panasonic and got nowhere but a phone number for a repair guy who wants $600 to fix the TV, which is just out of the question. They refused to help any other way. Thanks Panasonic! But maybe a kiss on the cheek next time?

I bought a Panasonic TC-P42C1 plasma TV. It is now 2 1/2 years old. It quit working with 10 flashing lights; the main power board and the A board-(what they say is wrong) have been replaced but it still won't work. I have been on the internet and it seems to be a major problem (there are thousands of complaints) with Panasonic TV's. I would like to be part of the class action suit.

I purchased a TH50PZ85U in January of 2009. In August of 2011, the power supply went out. I called Panasonic for repair information. They referred me to a local repair facility. I inquired about reimbursement if the issue turns out to be a common issue of which I saw several people on the internet complaining about. I was told to contact the repair facility and have my television repaired. If it turns out to be a common issue to call them back and inquire about reimbursement at that point. After speaking with a few representatives, who appeared to want to get me off the phone with canned speeches and a lack of concern, they declined to even entertain the idea of reimbursement. They say due to the fact that I already had the TV repaired. I just followed the first representative's instructions. Unfortunately, the final phone call resulted in the rep. hanging up on me. Great service!! Oh, by the way, in the mean time, I purchased another Panasonic, a smaller one, to fill in while my TV was out for repairs. What a sucker I am.

I bought our Panasonic 50" Plasma TH-50PZ80U in July 2008. It went blank or dead with 2 blinks recently in last few days. I'm not buying Panasonic again after reading so many posting with similar issues. I'm planning to call Panasonic to complain.

I purchased a Panasonic (Model: pt50lc13) LCD TV for $3,600 and the bulb had gone bad five times within a five-year period. I paid $400 for the first bulb (because the guy charged me $100 for install). Once I noticed that it was only a plug to install it, I bought the rest for $300 each. I called Panasonic and all they could do for me was to offer me a "discount" in a newer compatible TV. The price of this new TV is $500! In other words, they just wanted to sell me another one. I told them that my buddy had a Zenith and he had the same issue as my Panasonic. But Zenith just gave him a new TV all together. I know that the next time I buy, it will never be Panasonic for sure.

I have a two-year-old Panasonic LCD TV. The model number is TC-L37S1. The serial number is **. The date of manufacture is June 2009. It would not stay on. If I unplugged it and then plugged it back in after a short wait then it would at least try. It stopped working about four weeks ago. I also noticed that there was the smell of smoke. I called Panasonic. The wait was too long. I sent them an email from their website. I got a reply several days later with the request that I call back and wait for an agent. They gave me a local repair center to contact.

My Panasonic 50" Plasma TC-P50S1 is experiencing seven blinking red lights on its screen. It will not come on and it is only about 2 1/2 years old. I bought it from Sears and it will cost too much to fix.

I bought a Panasonic TH-50PZ80U several years ago. It had to be repaired I think 3 times while under warranty. It spent almost as much time in the shop that year as it did at my house. Since it has been out of warranty, it has failed 2 more times. It is currently sitting in my garage as I try to decide whether it is worth getting fixed again. I have never had this many problems with a television in my life. I have thought about sending it to Panasonic COD.

I purchased a Panasonic Plasma TV in Dec. 2008. Two weeks ago, the TV turned off and never came back on. I took it to a repair shop. They told me it was the power board that needed to be replaced. After spending over $300 to repair my TV, we brought it home to find out that the TV will only stay on 10 minutes or so. Do not buy a Panasonic TV. It's more trouble than what it is worth.

Panasonic should offer a permanent solution or replacement on a TV; they knew would need repairs, such as these. Not only do the lamps burn out but the ballast is also known for going out. I recently had the lamp replaced in, and now, the ballast has gone out and the cost to fix it is much more than the $20 part cost. I bought a Panasonic because of their reputation but they have ruined their name with this TV.

After enjoying my 58" Panasonic Plasma TV for three years, it suddenly ** out. It will not get any picture or sound--only the mocking, blinking red lights. Son of a **. I called Panasonic tech, descibed the problem and was shocked by the response of "Oh, no" after telling him that the red light would blink 13 times in succession. He gave me the number of a certified repairperson contact, whom I called immediately.

I purchased this Panasonic Viera 58 inch Plasma TV in July 2007. I have taken good care of this TV and rely on it for my entertainment and news. I am a total and permanent disabled veteran.

My girlfriend bought me a 50" Panasonic Class1080P Plasma HDTV (Model: TH-50PZ80U) for my birthday on July 16, 2008 from ABC Warehouse. It started getting the 10 blinking lights of death on Thursday, September 1st, 2011--forty six days after the extended warranty had expired. The TV will not turn on. Please add me on to the class action lawsuit after getting nowhere with their response. The TV will not work and Panasonic will not fix it after knowing that this TV was defective due to all the same failures.

I purchased a Panasonic 52-inch HDTV model PT52LCX66/PT-56LCX66/PT-61LCX66/PT-52LCX16/PT-56LCX/PT-61LCX16. I purchased this from Circuit City in 2006. I had to purchase a lamp TY-LA1001 for the TV in 2009, and now again in 2011. I purchased 2 this year. The first one purchase in August blew in one month. So now, I just purchased another one in September. How long will this continue?

During the last year of warranty, the bulb went out. I have now replaced the bulb 4 times since. The TV is 6 years old but it is in a bedroom that is rarely used and I don't think it is on 7 hours a month. It’s almost a bulb a year. I am thinking of not replacing it for the 5th time. I could just go out and buy a new TV.

I purchased a 50-inch Panasonic Viera Plasma TV in May of 2010.

I have a Panasonic LCD TV TH-50PZ80U. This set was purchased as our only television. We paid just over $2,000.000 in April 2008. In August 2011, I began to experience 2 blinking lights. I immediately contacted our insurance company. We elected to purchase a 3-year extended warranty, with the understanding that the first year was a manufacturer's warranty. This would give us a 4-year warranty in total.

Panasonic LCD 42-in TV's red light blinks 10 times and won't come on. It went on the fritz after three years.

I purchased 60" Panasonic (Model: PT-61LCX65) in 2005 for $3,000 from Best Buy. In August 2011, a lightning hit our DirecTV dish, which they had recently upgraded to HD, and did not ground! It surged through the TVs (five TVs were hooked to it). All the others were okay, but this TV would shut off after a few seconds so I took it to two repairmen. The first one said that he couldn't even 'get into it.' The second one said basically the same thing.

I purchased my TC-50St30 Plasma HDTV on 4/24/11. Recently, the set has shown illuminated lines along the full length of its screen edges when HD Size 2 (no over scan) is used and brightness is moved above 54. Usually, the lines show up on one side edge and its adjacent top or bottom edge. They are clearly visible in a normally or dimly-lit room. This is reproducible on cable and Blu-Rays on all three HDMI inputs as well as the component cable input.

I was a Panasonic guy, Panasonic TV, Panasonic stereo system, until the following happened.

Our 2-year-old broke our LG 50-inch TV on November 2009. My husband now had to buy another TV and he went and bought Panasonic 50-inch Plasma TV. I complained that I did not like the TV and that the LG was better, but you know men. This is September 2011, and all of a sudden the TV turns off. I turn it on then it goes off and then it won’t come back on again.

2003 was the year we purchased our TV. It is a Panasonic LCD. It takes the TY-LA1000 bulb and we have had 3 bulbs replaced, two of them since April 2011.

We purchased 42" Panasonic Viera Plasma TV in June 2008 from Abt Electronics in Glenview, IL. About two years later, the TV would not turn on if you accidentally turned it off and it would do that whole red blinking light thing. We figured out that if you unplugged it for 20 minutes or so, it would work again. That lasted until June 2011, and finally, one day, it never turned back on.

My Plasma TV (Model: TH42PX80U, SN: LB81340099) was repaired in Dec of 2010 by Video Electronics & Parts. They had replaced the A-Board part number TNPH0716S, and P PWB part number LSEP1260ANHB. I had paid the labor costs of $288.75 while Panasonic sent in the parts and now after 9 months it's doing the same thing it did the last time- ten blinks and won't turn on!

My TC-P50C2 plasma TV stopped working. It is 10-months old, but it flashed 10 blink codes. They said it is one of 3 boards that has gone bad and that the local TV shop would call & repair. A week has passed & I still was waiting for parts to be repaired. Then I called TV repair folks & they said parts have not been improved. So I called Panasonic back for a different TV repair person, but they said they are the only ones.

I have a 56-inch TV bought in 2008. The lamp went out. They replaced the lamp. Now they tell me I need a new light engine and they can't help me.

I have a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV (Model: TH-50PZ850U) which I purchased on 24 Jul 09 at 6th Ave Electronics. I notified Panasonic that my TV will not power up and has 10 flashing red lights. The service tech from Panasonic told me to unplug all cords from TV and re-hook power cord and see if this corrects the problem. Guess what? It did not help. The TV goes back to the 10 flashes again and I tried many times to get power to come on. No good. I purchased the extended warranty and I am still waiting after four days for the call back. I am not yet complaining about my warranty company. Panasonic Company knows about the problems and the complaints of the TV breaking down but they are not giving extended warranties to correct the problems with their TVs.

I have bought a 50" Viera Panasonic TV. It has the red flashing lights of death and I had it for two years. It seems to be a defect in the TV with all the complaints that I have read. I will never buy a Panasonic again. There should be a class action lawsuit against them.

I bought a brand new Panasonic TH-50PZ85U in March 2008 for $2500. Now, the power will not come in. I'm getting two blinking red lights and ten blinking red lights when I hold the power button for 5 seconds. I called Panasonic and they said it definitely needs to be serviced, but the certified repairmen they recommended were more than 100 miles away. They said I would have to repair it at my own cost since it's out of warranty. I asked for the phone number to their legal department and their corporate address as I intend to sue them. The representative put me on hold. I have read hundreds and hundreds of complaints across multiple forums and I'm consistently hearing the exact same power issue with this series. I want to start or join a class action lawsuit against them. They need to be held accountable. The rep came back to the phone and said she was advised to disconnect the call as I threatened legal action. Consumers have a voice and we do not have to accept this abuse.

I purchased a Panasonic Plasma TV and lasted for a total of 14 months. Now, they want me to pay $550.00 to have the boards replaced. It seems to be an ongoing problem judging from online inquiries. This is not right!

My TV was working fine for three years. Then, without a warning, it made a clicking noise when we tried to turn it on and it did not work. After what happened and after reading all about Panasonic TVs, it sounds like the company doesn't stand behind their product. I would join a class action lawsuit against them.

My Panasonic TH-50PZ85U is getting the 7 blink code and will not work. I'd like to be added to the class action lawsuit.

I bought my Panasonic TH-46PZ80U 2 years ago. I was told that this was one of the best sets to own out there. Today, two years later, I am told by Panasonic that I will have to foot the bill for the repairs. I am a student and my husband is a disabled war veteran. How are we supposed to afford a new television or a 200 to 900 dollar repair bill? My old television was one that my parents gave us when we got married. And they had that one for years. I am sickened that Panasonic will not take action on this and fix these televisions correctly.

We purchased a Panasonic 56-inch HDTV. We have had nothing but problems with the television since we purchased it. We have had 3 bulbs replaced, each time waiting 3 weeks to have it done. Now we have a brand new chassis sitting in our living room that will not be put in because Panasonic and Sears both agreed that the TV is a lemon and they are going to replace the TV. We have been waiting a month with no TV and no resolution. We have 4 different phone numbers and getting the runaround from each person we speak to. They tell us the same thing every time we call. They said they are waiting for Panasonic to give them the OK to replace the TV. If Sears wanted to keep us as a happy customer, they would replace our TV and deal with Panasonic on their own. I am very unhappy and Sears has lost another lifetime customer.

We purchased our Panasonic Plasma TV TH-46PZ80U in February of 2009. It was working great. In December 2010, it started to do the whole blinking thing. We called Panasonic and they told us to unplug it for a couple of minutes, plug it back in and then turn it on. We did this and it seemed to work, for a short while.

Well, this is a continuation to my 8/13/11 complaint (listed earlier here). Andy (the owner from Gonzalez Electronic in Swansboro, NC) contacted me back about the issue and stated that he had got in contact with the regional Panasonic representative in our area... and had bad news. Come to find out, Panasonic had known about the current issues of the televisions. It had been a software glitch on their end, an EEPROM program error. Due to the fact that this program was so vast, they had been fixing the problems for customers (even outside of their warranty dates). The problem is that they stopped fixing this problem as of March 31, 2011 (a little over 4 months prior to my calls; this time, that is).

I bought a 50-inch Panasonic TV in Feb 09. I have had a few problems turning it on since the beginning of owning it. It now has the red blink of death and it wont turn on at all. I've tried calling Panasonic, but can't get through the waiting process several times. I spent $1900 and can't even get customer service.

My Panasonic Plasma HDTV suddenly stopped working. It would not turn on, just a series of ten blinking red lights. I contacted Panasonic and they conducted some troubleshooting with me on the phone.

I have bought two 61 inches (not one, but two) Panasonic LCD TVs. I bought the first 61-inch in 2007 (Pt-61lcx65) and loved it! I loved it so much that I wanted to get another one for our bedroom --we like to lay down with each other in our bedroom to watch TV. The TV cost us 3000, we had to wait a year to save up. We did this though, and in 2008, we went and purchased our second 61-inch LCD (but since the year had past, they had started another model # "Pt-61lcx35" but the TV itself is identical) for our bedroom.

I purchased a Panasonic TH-50PZ80U in January 2009. I chose this TV because the picture was excellent.

I purchased a 42” Panasonic Viera model # TH-42PZ85U in late 2008 and had to replace 2-3 different boards over the next year. Now in 2011, I've again got the "blinking red light of death."

I brought home a new Panasonic TC P60S30 on 8-3-2011. I left the TV in the bottom portion of the box while waiting for the TV stand delivery. All was fine until the afternoon of 8-6-2011. A large semi-circle internal crack appeared with several diagonal cracks on the left side. A semi-circle crack started near the bottom right side and ends at the top left of the screen. The diagonal cracks on the left side are not all propagating from the larger crack.

We purchased a 52" Panasonic Plasma TV per the salesman's recommendations. 1 year and 11 days later, it has the red blinking light of death (as we found it to be called on the internet) and will not turn on. Being 11 days out of warranty, I was informed I am on my own to repair it. I still owe $700 on it!

I purchased a 42" Panasonic Plasma HDTV around May 2009. It was working fine until the end of July 2011. I turned it on, and the only thing that worked was the red LED light with some dim light, but not the picture or sound. I called the Sears service to repair the TV. I found out I needed a new "A" Board for approximately $564. The Sears warranty had just run out earlier this year.

I bought a 42" Panasonic Plasma HDTV 2.5 years ago. Last night, I decided to try out a new HDMI cable (Rocketfish) I had just bought by plugging it in to my laptop and then to my TV. One of my sons was playing a game through the laptop which was projected up onto the TV screen (locally, not through the internet). Then the TV screen turned black and the little power light would start blinking (3 times each). I was able to unplug the TV and plug it back on to get it to come back on. However after researching this problem, I've seen people say that they would be able to get it to work again for a while, but then later it would die for good. So that is my worry now. I will update if this does indeed happen.

was watching tv then turned it off to answer phone will not turn back on..no lights no sounds just dead..

My TH-46PZ85U lasted about two years. Now it won't power on. Initially it blinks twice. If I hold the power button for five seconds, it blinks 10 times. At first I was able to unplug it for a while and get it to come back on. It's now been a week since I could get it to come on.

A 42" Panasonic TV from Costco bought in Dec. 08. The TV quit working; led light by power, switch blinking 10 times.

A 2008 Panasonic Viera Plasma TV, the power went out and would not come back on. Ten red blinks appeared. The TV is only 2.5 years old. I went online and saw multiple complaints with regards to the same problem.

My Panasonic Plasma TV, maybe 3 years old, has lost its picture. It only has sound.

We purchased Panasonic TV, model PT-50 LC13 in 2004 and it was working for about a year. Then the lamp went out and we were given a replacement lamp due to warranty. They advised that if the lamp went out a third time, we were on our own. The cost was about $3-400 from Panasonic, but we found one on Craigslist for $100. We purchased it and still the TV doesn't work. It's possibly the lamp or the banister.

I find I have to unplug the TV wait 20 minutes and try again. It is turning on with less frequency. I read blog reports to obtain information and it appears others are dealing with the same problem.

Purchased a Panasonic Plasma 50inch tv model # th50pz80u. Lasted 2 years before going out. Im not alone. Researched web and Everbody that purchased this set got 2 years one person look like they made it to 3 years.

The picture went out on my three-year old Panasonic plasma TV. There is a sequence of 7 blinking red lights, and nothing else. This seems like a very common problem with this model, now that I have researched this matter online.

Same here. 10 blinks and no picture. Based on the amount of complaints already out there on this, I am not going to even try with Panasonic since so many others have failed. It is a 50 in viera just over 2.5 years old. I'd participate in any type of class litigation. This could be the biggest waste of money ever. And thanks Cnet for giving this model like 8 stars. I'll let let me two year old pick out the replacement

I purchased my Panasonic TX-P42G10B from Currys online on 29th. August 2009. Recently the TV started showing off in so much that on pressing the start up power button either from the Remote Control or or the TV switch the red light power light would flicker but the TV would refuse to turn on. Occasionally the TV would switch on only to switch itself off again after a short passage of time.

Bought Panasonic 42" Plasma in Jan 2006. Changed the power supply board in June 2008. now again the same board is busted...same problem as many others have had...hate this company...paid over 2000$ for this TV it shld last atleast 10 years!!

New Panasonic 50-inch LED TV with 10 blinking red lights.

I bought a brand new Panasonic plasma TV #42pz77u in 2007 from Best Buy. Suddenly, 2 months ago, it turned off with the front red light blinking 10 times. I had Geek Squad come and look at it and for $160, he determined it was the power supply board. He gave me the part number and said it would be cheaper if I bought it online and installed it myself. He then showed me how to do so. Well, I found a power supply board for $130 and just installed it and still has the same problem. I will call Geek Squad to complain. I have read online about Panasonic TVs and many people with this same problem from the same years I bought mine. I have always had a Panasonic TV; but now, I have a $1500 eyesore on my fireplace mantle. What a joke!

I own a TH 50PZ 85U, purchased 3 years ago from Costco. Today the power light blinks twice on and off. Set does not turn on anymore. Googled this issue and found that there is a major trend with Panasonic Plasma TV's doing this with no recourse from Panasonic. BEWARE DO NOT PURCHASE TV'S FROM PANASONIC.

My Panasonic TH-42px77u stopped working and showed a 10 blinking light code. I got a quote as per Panasonic from one of their repair facilities and it totaled over $900. This TV cost $1100 three years ago. Panasonic will cover their overpriced P-board ($649) but not the labor.

I purchased a Panasonic 42" plasma TV on 12/13/08. On 5/7/11, I went to bed with the TV on and woke up to the red blinking light. The TV repair shop wants $350 to fix it and I feel Panasonic should fix it due to the many complaints regarding their product! Obviously, there's a defect.

Purchased a 42" LCD Panasonic television from COSCO last December. Six months later, the flat screen tube burnt out. Panasonic had me take the TV to a repair shop located in somebody's garage across town. Its been in the shop over a month now, the repair shop replaced 3 parts on it, still not fixed. Panasonic advised yesterday that it is not covered because they said there was "liquid" damage. So, the TV worked for six months, been sitting in the shop for over one month, now they say after a month in the shop they won't cover due to "liquid" damage, and I have burned around 4 hours on the phone on hold trying to get this issue resolved with Panasonic. Poor service, poor quality. Never again will I purchase a Panasonic product. A losing proposition. $700.

I bought a 50 in plasma TV on June 17, 2008 and paid $2000. The TV has always been mounted on the wall and plugged into a surge protector. In April 2011, it stopped turning on and gave 7, 10 and 11 red blinking lights. I contacted Panasonic to ask for repairs. It seems to be a defect in this module of TV. They referred me to a repair shop but it was all my own expenses. It seems to be a common occurrence in these modules but because it lies outside the one year warranty they are not offering any assistance or help. I want Panasonic to repair, replace or give credit towards a new TV, also, to warn other people about this and tell them not buy Panasonic.

I purchased Panasonic TH42PZ77U plasma TV in June 2008 and last night, while we were watching TV, it just died. Now, we have the blinking red light of death. 10 blinks which is not good news. I spoke to Panasonic and they are happy to arrange a service call to replace the SC board which will cost between $400-$600. For the amount spent on this TV, we are extremely disappointed in its life. It's obvious we are not alone. Panasonic should be held accountable.

The posting below from Heather describes my situation perfectly:

My Panasonic 46" Class 1080p Plasma HDTV has power failure, 10 blinking red light syndrome. The unit will not power on. Attempts to do so result in blinking red power light - indicating : 10 blinks Sub 5v SOS / Main 3v SOS DG BoardDTV 9v SOS / Tuner Power SOS.

We bought a Panasonic Viera PZ 50850U about 2.5 years ago, and now, we have the 2 red blinks. It does not work at all. We paid over $2,300 not too long ago for a faulty product, since it does not work at all, and a lot others have similar issues. If there is a class action lawsuit (I think it should be one), please count me in.

This is the same complaint that I have just read about Panasonic TH-42PZ700U. I went to bed last night with the TV working and this morning, it have a blinking red light and nothing is working except the blinking red light. TV is only a couple of years old.

The Panasonic Viera 42 inch Plasma TV I purchased in June 2008 stopped powering on in May 2011. The unit does not power on and the red power light blinks twice. This $1200 purchase did not last 3 full years and will require expensive repairs or purchase of a new unit.

I purchased our Panasonic 60" LCD TV around 2004/2005 for almost $4,000. I purchased the extra 5 year warranty (thank goodness) from Paul's TV (good company). As with everyone else, it lasted about 1and 1/2 years, then red blinking light came on. Since then, the bulb had needed to be replaced about every 9-12 months (about 5 or 6 so far). When I had the bulb replaced the 2nd time, the person at the repair shop said that had this been the 3rd or 4th time, I would be eligible for the class action suit that was going against them.

Purchased a 42" Panasonic Plasma Television (model TH-C42FD18) from Costco with Manufacturer Warranty of 1 year and Costco Warranty of 2 years. Purchase date was December 6, 2008. No extended warranty was offered at time of purchase as retailer automatically covers a product for 2 years. On May 25, 2011, turned the TV off for dinner.When trying to turn the TV back on later, it did not respond. Noticed that the red power light was blinking 10 times would pause then blink 10 more times over and over.

I bought the TH-50PZ85U plasma TV on 3/31/2008, and like everyone else in this forum, I have now experienced the dreaded two blinks of death. So far, the TV will not turn on, even after unplugging it from the surge protector and plugging it back in. I am very disappointed with Panasonic, as I spent $2499.00 for a TV that fails after three years. If there is a class action lawsuit, please add me.

I bought my Panasonic TH-50PZ85U on 2008 December and it is not working now. When I switch on power supply, it blinks 10 times and it will not turn on. Looks like this TV has lot of problems. I lost $1500. I can't pay $1000 to repair this TV since I can buy a brand new TV for that price (I will not buy any more Panasonic production).

Lamps burnout too quickly. TV is just a piece of garbage. When I turn it on, it will shut off. It seems like it needs to heat up before starting. Shuts off randomly. None of this happened until tech. replaced one of the bulbs and within a week, destroyed the TV. When asked about the bulb, they said it was the right one but unfortunately it still was bad. I've been through four or five lamps within 6-7 years and tired of it. Please let me know if there's any retribution for their negligence.

In June of 2005, I purchased a 44" Panasonic Rear Projection TV from Circuit City. Approximately one and a half years later, I began to get a green spot, the size of a soft ball, in the center of the screen. I immediately notified Panasonic about the problem and they stated that it must be the "light engine" that was at fault and I was made aware that it would cost me about $1200 to have it repaired.

I bought a Panasonic 42PZ77u. It lasted for about 22 months. Standby light, one day, began blinking 7 times, and TV wouldn't turn on. Panasonic has not been helpful nor willing to help cover repair costs.

Like so many others, I have a defective set that requires the lamp bulb to be replaced every 1 1/2 years. I have replaced the bulb 4 times. This was part of a class action suit in which people were not notified. I was never notified. However, after I found out, they stated there was nothing that they can do. Well, yes there is. They could not charge people $250.00 for each lamp bulb.

We got this Panasonic TH-50pz80u around April 2008. We had it in a repair shop later that same year, in October because it had went out.

Nothing was said about factory warranty. It expired after a year. That's not covered, I said this is a defect if after a year the power on an off button goes out. That's a defect and it's not only me. Hundred others are complaining. I don't have money for repairs. I was under the impression that this tv would take me at least 10 years. Not a couple years. That's what the salesman said when he sold me this tv at Best Buy.

I purchased a Panasonic Plasma TV model TH46PZ85U in June 2008 and began having an electrical problem 2 weeks ago. After the TV is warmed up and turned off, it will not turn back on and the power on/off light blinks 10 times in a repeating pattern. I have found that if the TV is allowed to cool down, it will turn on with no problems, yet.

We purchased a Panasonic 42" Plasma TV (TH-42PZ77U) in October of 2008. Shortly after, we had a few instances where it would not come on and the power light would blink 10 times. We'd unplug it for about an hour and it would come back on. We didn't think it was a problem, maybe just a fluke. We even checked Consumer Reports before we purchased and this TV was ranked very high. We did this as this was such a large purchase for us and we wanted something nice that would last a long time and be worth our money. We splurged a bit in hopes that we would enjoy many years of great picture on this set. Recently (the last two months) we've been getting the no turn on flashy light more often - daily even. Last night it died for the last time. It won't come on still flashy lights but not even unplugging will reset it.

I have a Panasonic 32" LCD TV, and the following happens

I bought a 50-inch Panasonic from Costco less than three years ago and already I'm having problems, as the TV won't come on for hours. All you can see are the red lights blinking out the error code. Panasonic needs to fix these TVs. This is ridiculous.

Bought a 42" Panasonic plasma TV over 2 years ago. As soon as the warranty had expired, a 4" vertical black line appeared on screen. Neither the Brick nor Panasonic was helpful. I will not purchase any product made by Panasonic nor any product sold at the Brick in future. I am stuck with the lemon and am unable to afford a new TV at this time.

My Plasma HDTV power blinks all the time without stopping. All electronics attached to it would not play and the screen is always black. I have tried to reach Panasonic but no luck whatsoever. The TV is just two years old. When I went to the store, I told them that it is the manufacturer's problem so they need to fix it. It costs too much to repair. The money spent on the TV has been a waste because for the price I paid, I could have purchased several TVs.

I have a 42" and a 50" Panasonic VIERA Plasma TV, and after owning them for only two and a half years, they both have the "red blinking light" problem, which is an internal problem with the boards inside the TV. It is a manufacturer's defect, but Panasonic is not doing anything to acknowledge this. Now, I own a $4,500.00 worth of nothing.

I purchased a Panasonic Plasma TV P42G20B & the screen cracked just after turning the TV on its pivot stand. This TV is positioned on a stand which is part of the TV in which you can move the TV for viewing. However, the screen is designed too fragile that the movement can cause the screen to crack. When I questioned Panasonic about it being too fragile, they said its customer-damaged, accidental, etc.

I purchased a replacement lamp for my PT-AE700U for $330.00 on 10-12-2010. I received the lamp via UPS on 10-14-2010. I installed the lamp on 10-16-20010. The bulb went bad on 1-29-2011. Sixteen days past the "90-day warranty" and Panasonic refuses to help.

I purchased a Panasonic Viera 46" Plasma TV in Dec 2008 for $1038.00. In January 2011, it stopped working with the power button flashing 10 times. Since I had purchased it from Costco, it came with a 2-year warranty. The television stopped working a few weeks after the warranty had expired. I spoke with a CSR at Panasonic who explained that if I could show them the receipt with the date of purchase that they would override the warranty and cover the repairs. I was referred to an authorized repair shop by Panasonic.

I paid 1700 dollars for a 42p77zu that went out 2 weeks after warranty. Panasonic said that it's broken. This TV had the famous 10 blinking lights. How many of the sets have failed? They want 600 dollars to fix a set. You can now buy one for less than that.

In December of 2009, we bought a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV (model no. TH50PZ85) and it has died - the LED is flashing twice. As our TV is out of warranty, I contacted Panasonic to see if they would fix their defective product (it worked for only 25 months ) and they offered to pay for half of the price for a replacement circuit board. We did not take them up on their offer as they could not tell us this is the only bad circuit board in our TV as there are many circuit boards in their TVs. We searched online and found there are hundreds of people that have had their Panasonic TVs die in a untimely manner, with several different circuit boards that are the cause of the failures.

I Bought Panasonic TH-50PZ800U in July 2008 and now in December 2010. The red power button blinks twice no power or picture. I called Panasonic no answer for over an hour. Finally just sent email message. Their response takes it an authorized repair shop. So I have to take TV and pay out of pocket $110.00 for them to Troubleshoot. Then it may cost from $350.00-$750.00 to repair. Are you kidding me, a $2300.00 plasma TV should last more than 2 1/2 years. My 1998 Sony projection TV is still going strong hand and sceptre 32 inch from 2006 still no problems. I'm very disappointed with Panasonic. They know this a problem yet they ignore it. If I knew Panasonic TVs were disposable, I would have gone with a VIZIO and not felt so bad about it going bad. This is class action suit time.

I have a Panasonic PT-44LCX65. I have had to replace the bulb 3 times in the last 4 years without reparation from Panasonic.

Unavailable item (TV) was ordered on 11/12/10. 4 weeks for delivery, plenty of time to get by Christmas as was a gift item. Got a call from Panasonic rep. on 12/16 saying TV was not available and would upgrade at no charge to one that was available. Asked if TV would arrive by Christmas and they said couldn't guarantee it unless I paid for express shipping!

I purchased a Panasonic pt50lc13 and I have now gone through 3 bulbs and a repair with smart TV in Florida and have spent over 1000.00 fixing it. I was about to order another one and saw that there was a class action filed and Panasonic is giving 1500.00 towards a new TV. How do I get the voucher. I have my receipts. I would like a new TV for my troubles. It has been a terrible experience and it still is.

I purchased a Panasonic Multimedia Projection Display TV Model #PT-43LC14 on 12-26-2004 from Circuit City. The lamp went out 06/16/2008 and cost me $320.71 to replace.

I purchased a Panasonic Viera 42" plasma, model TC-P42S2, from Best Buy on 9/25/2010. On 11/12/2010, the TV developed a large vertical black line about a quarter of the way from the left edge. Because more than 30 days had passed, I could not return the TV to Best Buy, but had to call Panasonic’s customer service. They instructed me to carry the TV into a specific electronics repair shop (not Best Buy). I did so on that day. Today is 12/10/2010 and the TV still has not been repaired or returned to me. I was told that the reason is that the part needed to repair it is on back order.

I have bought a brandnew Panasonic TC-P65VT25 (3D) on August 8, 2010 in the Video and Audio Center in Agura Hills, CA. The TV was delivered on August 11 and I have bought a professional installment service on top. The TV was working until Black Friday morning and then it turned "black".

I purchased a Panasonic 50-inch plasma television online for $2,300.After about a year and a half, it died. All you get are ten blinks, same as all the other people's complaints. If there is a defect, they should fix it, it's a rip-off. They stole my money!

I believe we purchased our Panasonic Pt60lc14 in 2005/2006. No longer under warranty. The lamp (bulb) went out in the first year and then a couple of times every year after. The beginning of this year, we started to get an error message stating that the filter should be professionally cleaned. We had a contractor come out and clean it twice. We keep getting the same message. Contractor now says that we may need to have the motor replaced, very expensive. We paid over $4000 for it. Panasonic will not do anything about it.

I purchased the Panasonic 42PX80U in October, 2008. On Thanksgiving day, it turned itself off, and I was unable to get it restarted, despite doing the routine troubleshooting. The live chat with a Panasonic representative was worthless, because all she did was give me the phone number for an authorized servicing company, that was two hours away. Even worse, she failed to apologize for the trouble I was having with her company's product. The following day I went out and purchased a 42" Samsung. I will never again by a product made by Panasonic.

I purchased a Panasonic TC-37LZ85 LCD TV with a manufacture date of June 2008. Worked great for the first 13 months, then started not wanting to turn on. 2 months of this and then it went into death mode. I have clicking and the blinking light. Did some research and seems I am not the only one. I spent over 1200$ on the original purchase and I am faced with the minimal charges to fix the TV with no guarantee it will last.

I ended up with 10 blinks on my 50" Viera after 2 years. With the amount of complaints from multiple customers, you would think that they’d replace the faultily engineered parts for free. Not so much. I don’t know how they think that because it’s out of warranty, that anyone that spends $2,000 on a TV set will think about purchasing another one from the same maker. I’ve stood behind their products for years until this, with them refusing to cover repairs. Not a way to improve customer relations or get good reviews. I’m 27 and will never purchase another product with their name on it. They easily could’ve made over $25,000-$50,000 off of me in my lifetime if they stood behind their product, with it costing a couple of hundreds to keep me now. I’m back to a $200 19" that’s 12 years old, but haven’t put a single dollar into. Not really happy that this happened right before a holiday weekend also.

My Panasonic plasma TV stopped working after only a year and two months of ownership. It won't turn on and the red light on the front of the TV blinks 11 times. I cannot afford to fix it.

I bought a 50" plasma Panasonic TV in Aug of 2009. In Nov of 2010, I got the 7 blinking light. I paid $1400 and 15 months later, I have nothing. Thanks Panasonic.

I had bought a Panasonic 42" plasma TV and after 2 years, the TV is out. The only thing it does is the power button will blink twice, pause and blink twice again and pause and so forth! I had called customer service and they told me that there's nothing they can do, that I would have to take it in to get serviced. I had paid $1000.00 for this TV and now it seems like I would have to pay close to it again to get it fixed! After searching on the web, there are so many of us consumers with this problem with these TVs. There should be a lawsuit and make Panasonic pay for this since these TVs should last more than 2 years!

I purchased a 50-inch Panasonic HD Viera Plasma Television, January of 2009. On numerous occasions, the television wouldn't turn on--all I got was 10 red blinking lights on the front of the television. I called Panasonic and was told to unplug all cords/cables for at least 20 seconds; if this didn't work, I was told to replace the power strip. It worked a couple of times, after that the television would never turn back on. When I tried to turn it on, I would hear three clicks and then the small red light on the front of the television would blink--10 intervals.

I purchased Panasonic plasma TV TH-50PZ80U on 11-08. On 10-10, 23 months later, the TV will not turn on and has the dreaded 10 blinking lights. I contacted Panasonic customer service after I conducted extensive research about the problem online. Customer service could only provide me with a local repair shop and would not help with any monetary repairs.

My wife and I purchased a Panasonic TH-PZ800U for ourselves in December of 2008. Less than 2 years later, the TV mysteriously turns off and has a discolored line running vertically on the right third of the screen from top to bottom. While the Panasonic rep was sympathetic, she was unable to help as it was out of warranty and referred me to a repair center. The repair center estimated 350-750 dollars depending on what needed to be replaced. I can not believe that a TV that was rated the number 2 HDTV by Cnet would need repair in less than 2 years, especially with the light to moderate use of my family.

The lamp in the TV keeps burning out. It suppose to be 10000 hours or so but this is the second lamp we have to replace. The Panasonic assistance US Phone# is not in service. This is the second lamp that we are replacing P/N TY-LA1000 in two years.

Purchased a 50 inch (Viera) Plasma in July of 2010. Had the unit for just 4 months before it refused to turn on. Power indicator blinks 10 times. Called customer service. They arranged for a local repair company to come to the house to have it fixed. The day of the appointment the manager of the repair center called me (3 weeks ago) to state that the needed part was on back-order and that we would need to allow 2 to 3 weeks. Heard nothing from Panasonic or the Service Center within 3 weeks. Made a call to Panasonic Customer Service and was told that they believed the part would be on back order an additional 2 to 3 weeks but had no true ETA.

I purchased a Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma TV two years ago. The TV no longer powers on and gives me the 7 blinks of doom. I’ve spent $1300 on this TV costing me $650.00 per year to view. I will never purchase Panasonic again. Oh, my 35" Mitsubishi tube TV is still running after 15 years. Repair costs do not warrant the repair. I'm out of $1300.00.

On 11/13/2007, I purchased a Panasonic TH-42PZ77U Viera plasma television for $1,199.00. Around 9/16/2008, the television stopped working and I had it repaired under the original 1 year manufacturer warranty on 9/16/2008. A failed SC board was listed as the problem. After the TV failed the first time, I researched the problem on the Internet and found hundreds to thousands of customers with the same or similar power problems with the same television model. On 10/31/2010, the unit failed again with another power issue. I researched the problem again and found there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of customers still having power issues with their TH-42PZ77U televisions purchased in 2007-2008. Even though the TV was no longer within the manufacturer warranty, I contacted Panasonic because of the known, well-documented power failure issues with my television. I believe that a $1,200 television should not fail twice within 3 years.

I purchased a LCD Rear Projection 50" television (PT50LC4) for approx $2600 in 2005. Since then I've been through 4 bulbs at $250 apiece and now the TV just powers off on its own. I called the repair man out and was advised the ballast needs to be replaced for an estimate of $600. What a disappointing product. The TV I had prior to this we owned for 15 years and never put a dime in to it. I will never recommend or purchase another Panasonic product again. If you read through the internet there are several similar complaints!

My husband and I purchased a Panasonic 46" Class 1080P Plasma HDTV (Model No. TH-46PZ80U) on 5/15/2008. It stopped turning on in late September 2010 and displayed a flashing power light indicator. In early October 2010, a Panasonic recommended and approved technician diagnosed the problem as the power supply. During the same month, the technician advised that the part was on back order nationwide. As of today's date, the part is not available. We paid the technician $55.00 to come out to diagnose the problem.

TY-LA1000 lamps continue to go out and have to be replaced. The 1st replacement was less than 1year. The 2nd replacement was 1.5 years. And now, the 3rd replacement is 1.5 years later. Now the TV has lines in the system and discoloration and replacement notice has come back on the screen.

Purchased 42' Panasonic (TH-42PX75U) on 7/16/2007. TV lasted approximately 3 years before suddenly shutting down and giving me 7/8 blinking LED lights. Panasonic customer service would not assist me in getting this resolved. Poor customer service and indicated that this issue was not in their database, although, I have seen hundreds of comments about it online.

We bought our Panasonic PT61LCZ70K with the "forever" LIFI lamp in it, in Dec. 2007. This set cost over $2000. Well, 7 months later the "forever"(LFS4000) lamp died. Panasonic did replace the lamp which had a 5 year warranty on it. Oct. 2010, lamp died again, thinking that I still had 2 years left on warranty I called Panasonic, they tell me, "No, that replacement lamp has a 1 year warranty." The cost of replacement lamp $564 and then the tech visit (you cannot replace this assembly yourself) plus tax and the grand total is $940.

unit was hooked up on January 2009. Th unit had issues with the picture freezing about once a week. The system needed to be rebooted in order to correct the situation. Target allowed me to swap the defective unit for another identical unit on May, 16, 2009. The second unit had the same issues.

I bought TH-42PZ77U and it gives me 10 blinking lights. Apparently, it is a manufacturer fault. I expected the TV to last longer then 2 1/2 years especially if I paid $2000 for it. Panasonic refused to take responsibilities and if there is any lawsuit against them, I am 'in'. It is my last Panasonic for any products.

Panasonic Plasma TV TH-45-PS85U quit working properly before two years of ownership. It turns off while the power button light blinks a couple times. It happened a number of times and eventually begins working again. A review of other complaints about Panasonic plasma TVs shows that I'm dealing with a faulty product. This TV should have lasted years and cost $1800 to purchase. I would never pick a TV that would last so short of time.

I bought a Panasonic plasma TV model TC-P50S1 back in July 2009 from Best Buy in October 12, 2010. Without warning, the TV cannot turn on and the power light blinks 10 times. Called Panasonic rep, the TV needs repair. My complaint is the TV lasts only 14 months. It's a defective products issue.

I bought and have replaced four lamps for my expensive Panasonic TV, model PT-50LC13. The dealer, Best Buy in Louisville, says that they have had trouble with this model. How can I get my problem resolved?

My Panasonic THPZ800U flat screen TV has decided to quit after only two years. Now, I'm told that the part is not available with a three-week backorder, meanwhile Panasonic takes no responsibility. The internet is rife with this same problem of Panasonic failure on these type of TVs. It cost $456 so far with more as expected.
