Can it be fixed if it is dead. Just get blank screen. Or do I throw it away. Have had it 6 weeks.

If it's under warranty, I would say fix it. Talk to the company where you bought it from. 6 weeks and.it doesn't work, that's not right. But if you take it somewhere to be fixed. It would probably cost more than to buy a new one. Some people have said, to put electronics in the freezer for acouple of hours. Believe it or not, it does work. I brought back to life a dead xbox 360 by doing this. It does something to electronics inside. Doesn't hurt to try n its free. Good luck, and if you decide to buy another one. I strongly suggest an iPad & not android.

Hello . Am I never expirienced that with mine. The problem was it kept freezing and the screen kept blinking so I returned it back for full refund. I think it can be fixed I just didn't waste time.

I would be that the amount of money you spend to fix it will cost more than the original price.

If its the actual screen that is messed up it may not be repairable. There is not alot of adjustment that can be made with the display. If you havnt had it to long i would see about sending it back.

I had a similar problem. First the screen was blue then completly blank. I took it to a sony service center and they had to replace the ribbon cable that feeds the screen. Seems this is a common defect.

Mine had a dead looking screen sometimes, and I press the reset key. All was well. It came back to life and still had its current count.

I am going to be very honest. If you follow the instructions and the LCD screen does not come on or if it lights up but there is no menu on the bottom and no image, send it back. The LCD screen on the first one I purchased didn't work so I exchanged it and the next one worked.

My friend who helped me set this up suspected it was not new and it has now died. I'd buy the new model...and make sure it is new!

What do you have to loose? Return it if no other reason than the dead pixel. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 42B450.

Purchase a replacement screen. Search for a video on YouTube to show you how to fix it. I did it very easily.

That is very interesting. I had it 14 months and the screen has about 50 vertical lines on it and can barely be read. I am very unhappy being I may as well get a new one for the extra $49.00 to have it fixed. It is interesting that someone says Amazon will not be selling them any longer. I wonder why? Does any one have any idea how to fix this or is it un-fixable?Does anyone know of a better one that doesn't break as soon as the warranty is void?

It's dead!. I talked to Panasonic, they do not repair or replace. I ended up buying a newer version. Sorry...I was furious, but they really don't care. JG

To fix this issue, get a hammer and beat the crap out of it until you feel better. Then, go out and buy a tablet that actually works. I bought 3 and none worked 6 months later. The company does not respond to emails and their phone customer support is non-existent. Worst waste of money I have ever spent. Do yourself a favor and trash it. It's not worth the heartache trying to fix it. Also, the boot manager/menu is non existent. They won't tell you how to access it and no combination of keys work. Good luck!

I would suggest getting a refund and ordering a new one. I've only had to reformat it once and I've had it since February. No other issues with it.

I recieved the replacement screen originally. It didnt work properly, Amazon sent me the return documents. Its been over 45 dsys and I have not been replaced nor reembersed yet. Still want the screen or the money bsck.

I had the same problem. I have no idea what the answer is. I returned mine because the screen stopped working after less than a week. I really wanted to love this tablet.

Mine was dead also, but I took a paperclip opened up and did the reset several times and it worked and it turned back on and is working fine right now.

Mine just died Friday after using for six weeks. I am livid. I am typing right now on a Toshiba Satellite that is over five years old so clearly the new one was a lemon. Now I am off to jump through warranty hoops. Uuurgh.

I think something is wrong with the installation. Mine worked straight away, try re installing the screen allover.
