Lawsuit over the failing black levels... Has anyone heard any updates or news on the pending panasonic lawsuit concerning the loss of black levels?

Panasonic made a motion to dismiss this suit and that motion is still pending in Federal Court. That is the latest update.

They denied mine. I mailed in my stuff a few weeks ago as I had a death in the family to deal with last month(but still within the allowed time) and they said I missed the postmark date. According to the rebate form I had until April 9th, 2011 for that postmark and they entered it yesterday Mar. 7th and I was late? Even though I got a good deal on the player this does sour me a bit on Panasonic.

Try google. It is most likely one of two boards failed. It seems SS board the more frequent culprit. There is a YouTube video instructing how to replace the board but finding a new board may be difficult. I assume TV is out of warranty. You could pay an authorized Panasonic repair shop but it will cost around $400-$500. It is also possible to remove board and send it out for repair. Cost < $100. Again, Google is your friend :)

Has Panasonic replaced the th-50pz800u TV now? Or are they about to replace it? I do not understand why Amazon no longer stocks it. I have read many rave reviews of this particular set and I planned to buy one this week. Did I wait too long and it is now out of production and being replaced with a new 2009 model? If so can I be sure the new replacement model will be as good or better than the panasonic th-50pz800u?

No I live in NH so I can't find anyone to do it and Sony wants to charge me $265 to replace it. Right now it is sitting in my storeroom, a $300 pile of junk. Let me know what happens with yours, if it's not too expensive I may try to find someone in MA. At least yours is still under warranty you are lucky.

Just finished up with Panasonic support. The supervisor was "busy", but the rep confirmed that the VieraCast server is down and I should check back later. I got the impression that it was unplanned maintenance, and that it will be back in hours rather than minutes. Perhaps the spike of Christmas-related logins caused the crash?!

Never heard of them. Google'em, then read their returns policy. Also be sure they have them in their warehouse and not just ordering through Panasonic. The manufacturer is back-ordered big time. They told me 3 weeks at the earliest and then said that this timeframe is their best estimate. So FWIW...I will say this unit is REALLY hard to come by so consider that in your decision.Edit: I just checked out their website and it says "pre-order." This basically means you have to wait for Panasonic to ship them out. I could be wrong, but I think you are in for a good 3-4 week wait at best. Great price though with free shipping.

Agree Mark M Scheingold...I also would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing", so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future!!I Think that we need a more detailled explanation from Amazon...Please Amazon, Could you tell us Why the DMC-SZ9 is Under Review and if the Panasonic DMC-SZ9 has Some kind of technical or malfunction problems?

Hi I just did a google search for mine. I tried doing that for yours and it doesn't find anything, are you sure you are looking for the right model number? Have you tried giving Panasonic a call?

I purchased our Panasonic at Costco for $449. We have found that the TV's become obsolete rather than breaking down. We still have our 10 yr old 32" Sony box type that works perfectly, but we can't give it away because everyone wants the flat screens! I have never really bought into extended warranties and hope I don't kick myself for saying that outloud!

I would check the website for Panasonic. Most companies have replacement parts.

My 606 is just now experiencing some HDMI swiching problems. From what I understand, that has been corrected, and I am expecting (crossed fingers) that Santa brings me a new shiny 608 for Christmas. I wouldn't have too many worries.

Panasonic tech support said it could be up any moment but asked to wait up to 24 hours(as of 2pm 10/27/09 pst). They apologized for the inconvenience and were kind in their response. If anyone notices it up please post.

Our Panasonic BD220 stopped connecting to Netflix about two days ago. It hasn't resolved itself yet. Network connection seems to be good and I can stream other material (like youtube). Really frustrating. Only had the unit for about two months. Don't have time for dealing with Tech support right now though. Anyone else having weird spontaneous issues like this currently? (June 10, 2012).
