    Plasma turns off after 10 seconds

    Hey guys, i have a panasonic veira plasma model number tc-p50vt20. A few months ago the TV just randomly shutoff then flashed a red light 11 times. I didn't have the money to take it to a repair shop because it wasn't under warranty so I moved it into another room till I could get it fixed. Two days ago I remembered that the surge protector it was hooked up to broke and thought maybe it could of been that so I plugged the TV back in and it came on, it worked great for hours. I turned it off before bed and when I tried it again the next day it was shutting off again, same light sequence. I opened up the back and checked the board and capacitors. Nothing was swollen or looked fried. I cleaned out all of the dust with a compressed air can and vacuum, checked the 3 fans if they were working and started it back up. Once again, it worked from 6pm to 2am but when I turned it on today its back to shutting off after 10 seconds and the same blinking lights. I unplugged it before I left for work just now, going to try again when I get home. The TV only has my xbox 1 connected to it and the TV is plugged directly into the outlet. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to have it fixed for Christmas.

    Thank you
