57G500A no pic no sound red power light on - Hitachi 57G500 57" TV

The power light keeps flashing and the tv won't turn on. If you unplug for a minute and hit the power button it sound like it is coming on then it shuts off and the red power light flashes slowly. The TV is a Panisonic 1080i HDTV, about 6-7 years old.

Check the power supply to see if you have bad caps (leaking/bulging tops) first.

the power supply has gone bad inside your tv. so wen you take to the manufacture, he will replace the power unit, your problem will surely get solved, thank you,, plz rate me,,,

hi there, this may seem like a sstandard problem, but differs from mfg. to mfg. in the sony tv's it is usually an open cap in the stand-by power supply, since you werent specific in your problem, there can be many solutions even for a single series or group of tv's even within the same mfg. give me specifics and i can answer more precise. hope this helps even a little.

sadly this is a third tier set and service is almost unavailable, it sounds like the inverter board or part of the power supply has gone bad..i think they have a flat rate policy,,you need to contact the manufacture directly
