Hello, the optical block or light engine which ever you want to call it has gone bad, it's a very common and expensive repair to which I do not recommend doing. I would put the money into a new set. I'm sorry for the bad news.....tks

on the tv itself push the volume down button and at the same time using the remote control press the pip button. I just did this on my tv - had the same problem. it worked perfectly. Jeanne

It very well could be the ballast. I unfortunately have this tv and keep extra bulbs because they go out about once a year. Last time when I replaced the bulb the tv blinked and the red lamp light flashed like it does when the bulb is bad. Ballast repair kit fixed it up. This is certainly a design issue but you'll get no help from Panasonic. If tv comes on the goes out after a while, clean the fan filter.

I think you hold down the volume - button on the TV and the SPLIT or PIP button on the TV remote at the same time for 5+ seconds. Becareful that your arm does not block the remote from getting to the TV. A message will appear when you are successful. Best wishes.
