yes, you are going to need to take it in to a repair shop. If you do a search on the internet you will find many others that have had this problem. TV's now days don't get repaired in the true sense. complete boards are just replaced

Try google. It is most likely one of two boards failed. It seems SS board the more frequent culprit. There is a YouTube video instructing how to replace the board but finding a new board may be difficult. I assume TV is out of warranty. You could pay an authorized Panasonic repair shop but it will cost around $400-$500. It is also possible to remove board and send it out for repair. Cost &lt; $100. Again, Google is your friend :)

Definitely contact the manufacturer. When you order a TV to be delivered, you often have to try several times to get a good one (like myself)

you can buy the boards from http://www.shopjimmy.com/ but you're guessing on what board to replace. Power supply or ???

I bought the Panasonic Viera TC-P60ST50 on 4/23/2012. Worked great until today. When it's turned on, the screen says "Welcome. Powering Up. This may take a few minutes." However, this message doesn't disappear after an hour. Tried turning off the TV for 30 minutes and powering on, but that doesn't help.

I just bought this model after Christmas and it doesn't have any flashing corners. Sorry, sounds like you might need to return it. I believe there's 30 day return policy on TVs from amazon.

One of mine flickered in a way that wasn't dizzying, but was unpredictable. My cure was a little dab of Vaseline on the contacts. It has worked so far. If you're young with good vision, you may be noticing the 60Hz fluctuation of house current. In my family I'm the only one who sees it. There is no easy cure for that.

This happened once when I was leaving the smart Apps page but after 10 seconds it responded. I powered off and on and it came back on normal. Have you updated the TV firmware? I think they rectified some issues there.

Mine does the same exact thing. It was working for 2 months...now it controls the tv, but just blinks when trying to use the PS3.

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

I never had both lites on at the same time but I've had them blinking alternatively red/green. I put a new battery in the transmitter and I think it helped but still happened occasionally. I re-positioned the receiver to be more 'in line" with the transmitter and messed with the antenna and have no more problem. In my opinion, light issues are due to poor signal. My "signal" passes thru one wall/door at a distance of less than 40'. At 50' I had problems. Try different (closer) locations for the receiver. I was about to add wire to the antenna to see if that would help but after reposition, didn't need to. I never had both lites on at the same time but I've had them blinking alternatively red/green.

This is a common issue with this model. Count the number of times it blinks. It is most likely that one of the internal boards need to be replaced. At least this was the case for the one I bought.

I just bought the Panasonic TC-P50V10. I have the same green line issue and I do have Comcast. Is there a firmware update possible or is it a matter of waiting for Comcast to update their boxes?

That's why I replaced mine. Lightning damaged the unit, and according to the manual if resetting it doesn't fix the problem, then the next step was to replace the logic board. Mine blink 5 times as well. Once I replaced it with a new board it worked (all wireless remotes will need to be reprogrammed to work with the new board, follow the manual on how to do that.) I can't say for sure if it will fix yours, best of luck.

All of the devices I have blink slow for 10 times, then faster for 20. Maybe your device isn't working properly. Send it back? I really don't know if it will deter foxes, but my neighbor's dogs don't like it! �

I had a very simular problem because of the florescent lighting I have 1 blueish and 1 yellowish bulb and there is a setting in the tv for the light sensor (to automaticly dim and brighten the screen based on ambient light) turning the sensor off in settings and no more dark "flickers"

Press and hold button on the back for about 3 seconds to turn it on. Something may need to be plugged in to see the light.Another inconvenience there. Would be nice to have a light that blinks once when powering up. You just need power adapter to power it.

Below is a link that another guy on here provided. it has a review of the TV and at the bottom of the page some additional links to click on. http://www.soundandvision.com/content/panasonic-tc-l55wt60-3d-lcd-hdtv-settings and I had some flickering on the ticker tape, the text that that scrolls on the news, sometimes it would flicker, sometimes it was fine. someone suggested turning all the settings set to "auto" off. that seemed to help.

no it blinks !!! and said no signal even if you use it. It said no signal and the picture would be there and then it would blink
