Coincidentally, I have a working Media Receiver but with faulty panel (Red LED flashing 8 times on TV). Currently also sourcing for repair guy. One shop already attempted for two weeks without success.
Haven't decided yet, but I may choose to keep the Media Receiver as a spare if I am unable to repair the panel, or consider selling to you. Or you can let me have your panel instead?
I'll update here.
In the meantime you got two other options:
- Camp on Carousell, i have seen the Kuro 9G pop up once every few months, that's how I got my replacement
- Send to the UK for repair services

...but the new OLEDs don't last as long, they aren't built like tanks the way Kuros were
According to Pioneer's own webpage, they've outsourced the repair for home A/V equipment to another service provider. I also have a old Pioneer Hi-Fi set that is pending repair. There are a few listings on Carousell advertising Hi-Fi and amplifier repair. You can try those.
