Panasonic TV color problem

[oldapeman]

This may be the wrong forum, but it seems to fit better here than anywhere else.

The color on my TV has gone askew. I now have far too much greenish in my whites and grays, and I have no blue at all. It is a 42" Panasonic flat screen digital HDTV, about 4-5 years old. About a month ago I moved it into my new place, and it worked fine after I first set it up. Just the last few days it has gone ugly. I tried adjusting the color settings on my TV, but I was not able to make things any better.

Does anyone have a clue if this thing is fixable at a reasonable cost? I am reasonably competent with technical things, so if there is just some component that might need to be swapped in, I could do that. I suspect, however, that this is going to be beyond my skill level, and cost a ton.

Thoughts?

Is this LCD or plasma?
This sound like what happened when the color block went out on my old Sony rp

It is the Viera model, which I understand is a plasma tv.

Before you start cracking the TV open ...

1) Is everything connected properly? Power, video cables (HDMI, component, or the yellow cable)? Once a component cable was loose for our Wii and the colors were all funky.
2) Do you get the same behavior with a different input, e.g. DVD/bluray or video game console?

Yeah, it sounds like a component video cable problem if that's how you connect from your receiver to the TV. If so, make sure the three cables connections are firmly seated. You may also have a bad cable.
