Help with Pioneer Plasma PDP-5071PU problem

[Kevin Carney]

ANyone have an idea to help me fix my tv. Screen says "Starting Up. Please Wait" and then is unresponsive. Is it worth it to order a repair technician or move on to a newer one? I hate to spend the cash right now...

tried unplugging for a while and things like that. May have been a storm power surge.

I'd look in the manual and see if you can figure out how to do a factory reset on it. If that doesn't fix it, then you'll likely be looking at getting it fixed.

Look in the service menu for faults. Turn display off the using the remote

Press DISPLAY button (just press, do not hold) and wait 3 seconds.
Press {LEFT} {UP} {LEFT} {RIGHT} {POWER} buttons.
The Plasma will turn on with the "Information" page displayed.
Press {MUTE} to move through the levels of menus

I believe that this works for your generation
