Pioneer PDP-V401 40-inch plasma will run OK for hours or minutes and then
turn itself off. The warmer it is the shorter the period. Only cycling the
power switch will restore function. (It doesn't power on automatically
after
cooling.)
The unit seems very much *not* overly hot when it powers off. I'd say it's
well within operating temps.
I can't watch it always, but the displayed image seems to be OK.
Does anyone have experience with this or similar Pioneer plasmas (or
access
to the service manual) that can say what triggers the auto shut-off? Is it
PS
voltage fluctuation? Or heat?
Suggestions?
Thanks.

If I were you I would throw a bowling ball through it and forget about T.V.
all together. In 2000, I had a bad day at work. So I got home and saw the
T.V. was tuned to MTV. So I went upstairs, got a bowling ball, and threw it
through the screen and broke it. Then I took the bowling ball and threw it
at the cabinet, and broke that and finished off the circuit board with it. I
threw the T.V. pieces in the trash. My 27 inch T.V. was 6 inches tall when I
was done with it, no higher than the speakers. I have not watched a minute
of television since (unless it was in a resturant or at work) and don't miss
it. I don't miss Judge Shyster or some jagoff pretending to be a doctor. Nor
do
I miss the same 9 movies and same 50 tv shows ran ad nauseum. I
canceled cable, and when they asked me why I want to cancel cable I told
them I had not receive another bill from them and hung up the fone. They did
call me one day and asked if I would like to reactivate my cable
subscription so I put the fone next to my ass and cut the loudest fart they
have ever heard.
I half way through eating a gallon of Anderson's French Vanilla ice cream
when the doorbell rang so I opened the door and it was these young kids and
they were offering me satellite T.V. service. It was the combo or bundle
(you know fone, t.v. and internet rip off). I told them, "Let me get my
checkbook" and I shut the door. I took a **** in my hand, opened the door,
and threw the turd at them and told them that if they ever came back to my
house, I would kick there asses.
With the money I am not spending on cable T.V., I can spend it on things I
truly enjoy. I have bought a bunch of oreos and twinkies and used them to
fill up the void of space once left by my 27 incvh T.V.
Wow! You are one tuff monkey! Twinkies and everything.
Go get 'em Tiger.
