What Could Be Wrong With My Hdtv?

I have less than a 3 year old Panasonic TH-42PX80U Plasma 42" TV. Never have had any problems until today. The TV is lifeless. Was watching programs and just cut off. I have unplugged, disconnected and have tried everything I can think of, but no sign of any life. What would be wrong? Is there a reset button or fuse or bulb that could have gone out?

I have the same tv and experienced the same problem. Once the back has been taken off there are two fuses with a red stripe on them that are close to where the 120 volt cord plugs in. Mine were both blown.
