42" plasma, 2012 production date, no power,no red indicator...
Mine has done this several times, only way I can get it to come back is to leave it UNPLUGGED for 72 hours and then it seems to work. The above button sequence did not work. Seems I read somewhere about a resistor / capacitor or something needs to cool down? Power supply is good. I have tried holding the power button for 60+ seconds and holding power and channel selector, nothing works except (in the past) leaving unplugged for three days.... Any advice?
Is this a good question?

@traditions1_ same model? 5 blinks as well? Besides unplugging it, what have you tried?

Oldturkey03, the model is TC P42X5. I tried all the above last night, no changes. It is unplugged now, day one of the three day waiting period. I have not taken the tv to any repair shop. the production on the back is 2012.

@traditions1_ it does have the 5 blinks or does it have other issues?
by oldturkey03
It does not blink at all. When plugged in there is not any red light. The power supply is good BTW.

This tv is such a good tv except for that! I have had happen so many times I swear to get another. You are right Tony, this is the only way. You can try a million things thinking it will maybe work but bottom line- 72 hours unplugged, and she will come on everytime! Just happened to revisit to see if even if they quit making them, someone had figured out an easier way. I had it happen a couple times w/power outage lately and that's what prompted this post.
