I was thinking: "Damn I am screwed!"
But since I tried several times and nothing but the blinking LED. I though it was strange, after looking at the back and no fans, as if no power.. strange, so I finally turned off my Furman REF 20i and back on.. Plasma turned on normally.
So something messed with the one outlet on the back of the Furman power conditioner enough to do something to the A/C current (the Furman puts out balanced 60V/60V A/C.. so maybe one leg was shunted/cut??? . Other stuff from the Furman was working fine. I had a four power interruptions today, so they must be working on the power grid near by (very unusual).
Anyway I am happy my $5,000. plasma is OK. (I bought it back when a top quality 42" was $5K ... I got a deal and paid $4K.)
Follow Ups:
Flat panels do this, sometimes regularly. Turn off all power to the set, leave off for a few seconds, then turn power back on. The TV will often start up normally on its own after this without pressing anything on the remote.
The apparent permanent fix on my Panasonic LCD was to go to the setup menu and change the power setting mode from "normal" to "energy saving". This puts the TV in the mode of a computer doing a cold start rather than a warm start every time it is turned on.
You know how computers sometimes dont want to do a startup from Sleep or hibernate mode, and insist on doing a full restart. Same deal on TV sets.
