So today my 2 1/2 yr old 50" Hitachi Plasma went black. It was on earlier and just went out, when it is turned on it shows a flash of a picture very briefly then goes black with the blue power light flashing three times repeatedly. Tried unplugging power for a few hours as well as unplugging the inputs. Cannot find any codes on the internet so far. Hoping someone has a magic solution otherwise I am guessing I am in the market for a new one

Based on the fact you can see a picture (albeit briefly), when you turn the set on - it seems like a power supply issue, and not a panel issue.

I would at least have a certified Hitachi tech / repair center come take a look at it before you run out to buy a new set.
