TV will not turn on. Red light will be blinking 7 times. No sound and no pictures. Hearing a clicking sound in the back of the TV.
This means one of three things, either the lamp is bad on your tv, the ballast that powers the lamp is bad or the safety switch for the lamp door is not depressed or it has come un-plugged. It could also mean the power supply or fuse on the power board is blown. I am assuming this is a DLP tv, and if so, it is fairly easy to fix it or find parts for it online. If you are slightly mechanically inclined, want to save money and dont mind paying attention to detail then you can fix it yourself. If you need help dont hesitate to ask.
Ok, your tv is a tube tv. This means that the power supply or the tube is bad. Gamma tubes are extremely expensive and normally cast more to replace than the tv itself. The tv is worth about 500 to 600 used, so spending more than that would not be adviasable. Unfortunately the best advise I could give is to dispose of the tv and purchase another one. If you want a used tv, look at Craigslist.com in your local area, you will probably find a good deal.

Thanks for the prompt response. Would you mind providing me with more details as to the extent of the resolution? A TV repairman informed my parents it would cost in excess of $2000 to get this TV fixed. If I have the option of fixing it myself, any help you could provide me with would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you!
