These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Anyone ever figure what hell the problem is? Same issue here except every other day it will turn back on normal but I am unable to use the knob to change amp preset or model. Then it will go blank/ no sound again. Blinking save light.

You probably have some defective capacitors on the inverter board, possibly along with a blown surface mounted 10 amp fuse. If the red light flashes a particular sequence then repeats, it may indicate a specific trouble code.

It needs a new Power Supply

Common short the cover cap over the video & sound boards short out if you remove it the cap only (shield metal) it usually will fix this

This sounds like a proble with the unit's power supply in which case you could find a local tv repair shop and see how much they would charge to diagnose the issue.

Try starting it after unplugging the devices Viz. Printer, Modem, ADSL, then during bootup Press F8 key to start it in Safe Mode..

Once you get in.. Run a checkdisk and diskcleanup.. and run Virus Scan etc. to get back in Normal mode.

Thanks
