Panasonic TV light: what each colour and blink means
Panasonic’s North American help site publishes a colour table for the power LED on its Amazon Fire TV models: red, orange and green, each steady or blinking, six states in all. Red blinking is an SOS error. For other Panasonic TVs it has one page for a flashing power light with no picture: an internal failure, with steps and a service line.
The power LED is on the front of the TV, at the bottom edge. The Z95 series also has a separate microphone LED for Alexa.
