No help from Panasonic. The manual says the ooooo....
is normal, but not for several hours.


Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks for responding, but I couldn't find any mention
of my problem in that link. The "reset" option using
CH-Up+Ch-Dn only works after the unit completes a
power on test.


Most likely the power supply is ****ed, then.


I have exactly the same model as you and have had the same problem. Its
basically a capacitor that has gone high ESR and an IC failure (due to
high ESR cap).

You can get the repair kit off ebay but does require you to be handy
with a soldering iron and have a good steady hand for intricate work.
