No Picture Or Sound From Hitachi P50t501

TV seems to power up ok.  Main (bottom) power switch turns things off and on.  Standby (red) light comes on for several seconds then the on (blue) light turns on solid.  Remote doesn't seem to do anything other than make the blue light blink.  If I push and hold the front panel power button, the standby light will turn on (and the blue light turns off)  I can't get any picture, sound or menu to come up at all.

The highest likelyhood would be you have a bad power supply: Manufacturer   Hitachi Part Number HA01912R Description POW-PDP-MPF7718   List $267.25 But you need to have a shop determine that the power supply isn't just trying to supply power to other boards that have shorted making the power supply unable to work properly.
