This past Sunday we experienced several brief power outages. Our TV was on and flickered but did not go off. After the outages subsided, the tv switched off on its own and would not restart. It is connected to a cable tv surge protector that also protects a VCR and a DVD player- both of which still work. I suspect that the problem is a blown fuse and need assistance in locating the fuse assembly. Also, would Radio Shack carry a replacement fuse or do I need to buy from a Panasonic service center?
Our TV is working again. It seems the outages powered down a capacitor which caused it to switch off. After reading some of the posts, we tried the most basic test- we unplugged the set and plugged it back in. You could hear it drawing power and it switched back on. Thanks for the helpful information on this forum.

I have been having a similar problem with my panosonic 27" tv. It seems to have a mind of its own, it shuts on and off at will. Sometimes it stays on for hours other times it shuts down every 10 minutes. can someone help me?
