I was looking around at the Pioneer plasma TV repair support site today to get a sense of common repair problems they have with their TVs. They list only 6 problems in their FAQ, leading me to believe these are their most common issues. Or at least the ones most easily handled without professional help. Below are the problems and a short summary of solutions. Where we offer more detailed instructions, I’ve linked there.
My Plasma TV will not turn on, what can I do? Verify that the power cord is plugged into a working outlet. Press the main power switch located on the front of the screen. Press the standby/on button on the remote or the side of the panel. If the power still doesn’t come on you will need to make a support call to Pioneer at 1-800-421-1625.
Why does the blue power light on my Plasma blink 12 times?

I set up the TV Guide on screen, however when I press TV Guide on I get NO LISTING, what can I do? There are several reasons for the “no listing” message: 1. It is possible that the information for a particular show was not available at the last update download. TV Guide information is updated daily, however the time to download the data can take from 1-2 days or as long as 7 days. 2. TV Guide information is only retrieved via a cable line or an antenna signal. This feature does not work with satellite TV. If you do not receive any TV Guide listing information within 48 hours, there may be a problem with the EPG data in your area and you will need to contact Pioneer Plasma TV support at 1-800-421-1404.
