From the red standby light if you press power, the blue on light comes on for split second then goes off again. If i sit there and play with it it eventually stays blue with screen power up. (WITH VERTICAL LINES ON IT). THEN, after i leave it on there for a little while, so it could warm up, i unplug it and replug it back in and press power and the element screen comes on and finally a picture shows up. please help me what can i do?
You have classic symptoms of a failing power supply board. As others have stated this is caused by the filter capacitors on the power board. This model uses the 200-000-xxxxtltx power supply which is the same one found in the Polaroid TLS-01911c TVs. Here is a link to a repair guide that shows what to look for and replace on this board to get you TV back up and running again.

SOURCE: Are the Polaroid FLM-3232 and the Element FLX-3202
not sure if there the same but the boards inside may be.
This sounds like the problem most LCD tv's get with swelled up
capacitors in the power supply board. look for circular cylinder shaped
parts rapped in plastic with writting on the sides, and metal tops, if
the top is rounded over, not flat, it is bad. replace them.
SOURCE: element stuck in standby and wont turn back on.
you can unplug the power cord and drench the power and after go ahead and plug in back the TV and try to start it
SOURCE: Why is my element FLX-2210 saying so signal
It is saying no signal becuase it is not getting he signals from video source or from the cable. Try it on another cable location in the house, if still the same, then you have problem in the main board.
Please read my guide to understand how LCD TV works.
If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on:

Hi,
Try ShopJimmy.com - they have a huge stock of TV parts. They are used but tested meaning they are usually much cheaper option and often have parts that are no longer available.

You should verify the part number from your original board before ordering and also visually check that the replacement part matches your original. The part number is usually on a barcode sticker on the board or printed on the board itself. Be careful here as the number on the board may be the board number so try the find a part number if possible - the same board can be used for various configurations of components so is not a guarantee of being the correct part. Also manufacturers sometimes use different boards in televisions with the same model number according to price/availabilty/reliability.
You can also verify stock, part number, etc by contacting the supplier first. They may also be able to help you if you can't find your part on their website.

Alternatively, once you have identified the part number, search for other suppliers by entering the part number into Google or Google Product Search. Be sure to enter the part number with any hyphens, spaces or periods as it is written on the board and if you have no success, also try the same search without any punctuation, e.g just the numbers and letters with no spaces.
