Panasonic SS Combo Problem

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

I have a problem with my Panasonic Showstopper Combo Unit (the one that
has a 27 inch TV built into it.)

Tonight when I got home, it would not turn on/power up. Neither the
button on the unit nor the button on the remote work. It's not a case
of the hard drive locking up -- the entire unit simply isn't getting any
power.

I tried holding down the on/off button for 30 seconds, hoping it was
some sort of boot-up problem, but that didn't help. I tried the power
outlet that it's plugged into and there is no problem there.

Any thoughts on what to try to revive this unit, short of bringing it
somewhere for service?

Thanks!

That worked, David. Thanks!
