Hitachi Plasma TV 42PD9500TA - Not turning on

@csew004 start off by checking your TV with the PDP panel self-diagnosis function

This function is for a PDP panel failure with no picture.

To enter to this Self-Diagnosis mode, follow the next steps:

Preparation:

1) The Power Cord should be connected to AC line and the Main Power switch should be turned on.

2) Turn the power off by the SUB-POWER button of the monitor or the remote control.

Procedure:

1) Press the SUB-POWER button and ▼ button on the bottom of the monitor at the same time, and keep it for more than 5 seconds after the power turned on.

2) It generates red blinking series of the power indicator light.

3) Any operation would cancel the Self -Diagnosis mode.

4) The next table shows the PDP PWB in which failure most probably would be allocated according to the number of blinks.
