We have had the TV for 6 years - no problem. This morning when it was tried to turn on, it wouldn't. The power button is just sitting there with the power button blinking. I have already tried unplugging it and all.
The power led blinking is an error code if you can reply to this same post and let me know the number of blinks I can assist you with what it means.

the power light is just blinking red on my panasonic 1080i hdtv. cant even switch it off using the power button. picture and sound come on for about a second when the tv is switched on after power cord pluggin, but then everything goes off, and the red light keeps blinking.....any solutions???? thanks...
The power light keeps flashing and the tv won't turn on. If you unplug for a minute and hit the power button it sound like it is coming on then it shuts off and the red power light flashes slowly. The TV is a Panisonic 1080i HDTV, about 6-7 years old.

Have a 53" Panasonic HDTV 1080i projection set. Model number is PT-53WX53-G. Unit manufactured in 2003. Colors are out of alignment. No luck resetting to default settings. I have tried to adjust color guns using my remote (as per the owner's manual). I have been able to realign the blue color to the target, but cannot get the red color aligned. I can move the red color "alignment cross" up and down, but have only limited movement laterally. The red "alignment cross" is left of center at all stations. I can get the red "alignment cross" to move further left, but cannot get it to move back to the right. Any obvious maintenance a layperson can try inside the console? Willing to get inside and tinker, but am by no means a qualified electronics tech. I do have a service call scheduled, but wanted to see if there might be solutions I could try in the interim. Thanks, Tim
It sounds to me like the convergence amps themselves have failed. Ic7001 and Ic7002, both are STK392-110 Sanyo built Ic's and not an expensive job for a qualified shop. When shopping around for a shop to repair it ask what they charge for replacement of the convergence amps in this unit. And take the unit to them to save pickup and delivery charges...
Have a great day!

If I unplug it and plug it back in and hit power, it sounds like its getting ready to turn on and then shuts off and blinks 3 times red. If you hit the power button again it does nothing. I have to unplug it and repeat to get the same thing. I have let it sit for 6 hours unplugged and nothing. Please help?
The 3 blinks is a error code for the convergence circuit. You can get the convergence repair kit for your model at the following link which contains both Convergence ICs and all six feed resistors and they include step by step instructions with pictures that show how to do the repair yourself. Heres a link to the proper kit for your model Panasonic.

Last week, the color red shifted heavily to the left side of the screen. Calling around to authorized Panasonic reapir shops, the concensus was the convergence module(s). Picked a shop and had them come on-site to repair the TV.
They replaced 1 convergence module, and the TV was able to adjust convergence now. Problem is there are vertical color shifts on the extreme right of the screen, with some green and red "shadows" on images. The techs went through the convergence adjustment, but they couldn't get the "shadows" to align. It is really apparent when we put the aspect into a 4:3 mode, as you get an uneven red "shadow" on the right side of the image. It's like a double hump, aligned vertically. You also notice it when the station has a logo in the bottom right of the screen. It's like a double image, but in red.
They thought it may be a deflection module, which they said would be very expensive to replace, and didn't want to do it. They told me to see if it gets worse with time, and they would see if they could find a solution as well.
They replaced 1 convergence module only, and did not replace any resistors or other components. I asked about replacing the other convergence module, and was told it wasn't needed, since the blue was able to be aligned on the various cross-hairs during TV convergence. Also, I'm not really sure if they replaced the convergence module with an OEM (or equivalent) part or not.
I'm not sure if the shop is capable of repairing this issue, so I may want to tackle it myself. I'm a mechanical engineer, with some electronics experience. I can do the job IF I know what's wrong.
I guess I have a few questions.
1. Did the shop I used fix the proper thing, or should I have them come back out to complete the repair?
2. If it is a seperate issue, ie deflection module, is it fixable as well?
3. Is there another solutipon that I could attempt to fix the color "shadows" issue?
I've been reading through the various posts here, but couldn't find anything like my issue. I did find a reference to http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/ where I can order a service manual and parts as needed. I see they offer free on-line support. How easy is this to communicate issues? Is it a worthwhile service?
Any help would be appreciated. I can provide more details if needed as well. The TV is usable now, and the picture issue is really just an inconvience, so I feel I can take some more time, research the issue, and fix it myself.
Thanks,
Don
Your TV most likely has one or more possible problems.
Problem #1: Convergence Chip Failure ( common problem )
Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem
Here is a quick test....
Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.
Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.
You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.
If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.
Solution #1
You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.
Problem #2 CRT Fluid is Cloudy
Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.
Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed.

Solution #2
What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc.

My Panasonic Cinemavision 1080i PT53WX42F has the power red light blinking 5 times and keeps repeating the 5 blinks when I power on the TV
IC4511 isnt comunicating. Replace the DG board

my panasonic pt53wx53g projection tv will not turn on. the power light blinks 3 times.
thats the error for the convergence failure. You can get the repair kit for your model at www.tvrepairworld.com the kit contains the parts and the CD with detailed instructions
