Hello everyone. I just got a Panasonic TH-42PX60U in January of this year and everything was working fine until I turned it tonight on to watch it but the TV refuses to do change channels, imputs or anything When press any button on the TV (like the channel up or down and volume as well as imput changer), it refuses to respond. When I turn on the TV the screen turns black like nothing is showing, but there is power going to the TV, but when I press the power button again, the TV light which is red just constantly blinks on and off. This TV is only 4-5 months old and I can't beleive that it would just not work so soon. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would be eternally greatful

I know the TV still works because my 360 is hooked to the input its currently stuck on and the games display fine.

I believe when the red light blinks it is indicating a fault code.I would call Panasonic service.

Also there was a firware update that addressed some control functions not working .Check here for more info http://www.bruzziforum.com/vbf/

Unplug the TV for a minute then plug it back in - sometimes this "resets" the TV but it sounds like you'll need to call the repair shop.

Count the number of red-light-blinks (or actually how many times the LED goes OFF) as the number of blinks often indicates which component that is failing and that could be a big help to the repair center when you call them.

And search this forum for the words +Panasonic +blink and you should find previous posts about this problem with useful information.

Thank you so much, I called Panasonic and they said they would send me firmware 1.04 which would update my TV since it falls under the "Random lock up condition (All buttons on remote and front panel inoperative, except for Power button)" symptom which is exactly what is happening.
