You can try setting it back to factory settings (like it was when you bought it). It should tell you in the owner's manual, how to do this. It may be in the troubleshooting area. Sometimes, unplugging it, and leaving it unplugged overnight, will reset equipment. If all else fails, contact Panasonic about it, and see what they say. Good luck!
I'm running into a similar problem. Although I do not get the blue light. But when I press play in HDD mode, my save shows plays and I am able to index the shows by pressing the << and >> shows on the unit (only after I switch from HDD to DVD back to HDD). Very odd. I don't think it's the HDD as I can watch all of my shows, just bring up navigator or TV Guide or Setup. I have heard about corrupt RAM and bad power supplies being problems. I tried updating the firmware from the Panasonic website and that didn't fix the problem either.
