If the TV goes in standby, then it is in protection mode.
Ensure also that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending
bad signal, check if you get same problem on DVD with no receiver box
connected.
Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.
The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible causes.
1The
internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic
charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read
by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the
protection circuit.
2 The protection circuit detected a wrong
voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in
, starting the flashing light.
If you are in situation one, then the TV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.
If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.
If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual
If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

On LCD Pay
particular attention at inverter and power board, power board can be
inspected looking for bulged or leaking capacitors, then tested with a
multimeter. The inverter is more difficult to test , there is need to
read voltages, should be done by a tech. Also the LCD controller board can cause same problem
On Plasma, test Sustain (Ysus/Zsus) / Buffer boards , cables to plasma, digital board and power board.
On Rear Projection : check lamp, lamp ballast, power board, and convergence.
On CRT TVs, check ballast , flyback transformer, CRT, Tuner, Convergence.

If it's failing to turn on, the main power supply is probably at
fault and without some technical background and a couple of test instruments,
you will not be able to do the repair yourself.
What you can do though is; unplug the set, let it
stand overnight or at least several hours, remove the back panel and look for a
separate board with mostly larger components on it; it will have a ferrite core
(no laminations as with a line-frequency part) transformer on it and several
larger capacitors which are cylindrical and mounted vertically to the board.
Before touching anything inside, especially on
that board, allow several hours to be safe since the larger capacitors can hold
a painful voltage charge for some hours.
If you see signs of overheating such as
discoloration of the board material, the PSU may not be repairable but if you
can find a part number on the board, you might be able to buy the power supply
from the mfr. and install it yourself but it will likely have the same problem
eventually unless they have altered the design or improved component quality.
If there are no signs of heat damage to the board,
there may be companies offering to repair it as a subassembly instead of
repairing the whole set which could be much more expensive.
If you choose to replace or have it done, the main
power supply still may not be at fault since most are capable
of switching on and off if a downstream problem is causing an overload and the
power supply for the backlight may be at fault.
