Remote for Panasonic plasma tv turns on power but nothing appears
Can turn on power for Panasonic plasma tv (TC-P46G10) with remote, but nothing is displayed on screen (screen lightens a little so light source seems to come on). Cannot get to any menus or change source input. We recently had an electrical storm that seemed to fry an HDMI port on another TV, but I was able to work around by switching cable input to another (previously vacant) HDMI. The problem with the plasma tv feels a little different because I cannot get to any menus (which would not use any external inputs), so my guess is that the storm may have knocked out the software or the chips/board that hold the software. Because the screen does lighten a little when I turn on the power, it seems that the screen would work, but that software needs to be reloaded or a board/chip needs to be replaced. Given age of tv (over 10 yrs?), may not be worth it. Any thoughts?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Light is solid red. No blinking. One more odd thing: the Panasonic remote will turn the TV on, but will not turn it off. However, while the TIVO remote that I use will not turn on the TV, it will turn it off. As to your suggestion that I open up the TV, I think this may be getting out of my depth. I tried the input sources on other TVs and can confirm that they are working properly, so issue is clearly in the TV.
