help! I need a service manual for a Panasonic PT52LCX66 model tv-where do crafty mefites find service manuals?

I replace the lamp in my 4 year old LCD projection tv(Panasonic PT52LCX66) and the green light came on, but no picture. I cut power to the tv, checked the lamp, and then -no nothing, not even the green power light. I want to check the ballast-but I would love to look at the service manual before I start pulling the back off-and I can't believe the internet doesn't have a place to look at the service manual without giving my credit card # to some really shady looking sites-anyone know where a brother could score a free pdf of a service manual for this tv??

Retrovo is pretty comprehensive.
