I know this is a very old thread/question. FWIW I'll add my 2 cents. I've had a Regza 42HL67 since 2007. It still looks and sounds great -- when I can finally get it to power on. For several years now when I hit the "on" button I get the blinking yellow light on the front of the TV. It blinks in series of three. It will continue to blink "forever" and the TV will never turn on.
As I imagine anyone reading this has done, I spent a ton of time researching the issue on the internet. Most common "fixes" were to update the firmware or replace one or more capacitors (I think that's what they're called). I wasn't about to try either one! The only way I've found to get the TV to power on is to unplug it then plug it back in. Sometimes it takes just once. Other times it takes several times. Very often when doing this I'll notice an electric spark. Don't know what causes the spark (I presume it's a bad capacitor/fuse/power supply/mother board, or whatever) but I consider the spark a good thing. Every time a spark is generated - and often when one is not - the TV will turn on (after cycling through two sets of three blinking lights).
By doing what I do to get my TV to turn on I don't know if I'm overriding something or, more importantly, setting myself up to someday have the TV blow up or catch on fire. All I know is that this has been working for me for some time. I hope it continues to do so.

First off....don't listen to ihatetvs, he wants you to check menu settings when your tv WON"T POWER ON.

When the power is removed from the set it is normal for the yellow LED to flash in sets of three when plugged back in. It will continue this until the tv enters "standby mode" at which time the yellow LED stops flashing, then you can power the tv on. If the yellow light (LED) continues to cycle through sets of three flashes and never comes on, you probably have some bad or borderline electrolytic capacitors on the power board, Best advice I can give the novice, if you can use soldering/de-soldering equipment, is replace ALL electrolytic capacitors on the power board. If you are NOT EXPERIENCED with replacing electronic components, STAY OUT of the tv and let an experienced tech do the work. Better safe than sorry.

Make sure the power save setting is not on it turns the tv on slower > see if picture settings such as contrast and brightness are all the way up > or picture profiles are on right setting .e.g cinema is usually dark screen

Why is the t-con board in my Toshiba Reza 42HL67 LCD TV repeatedly dying?

Could be just bad luck! It seems unlikely to me that the power supply would take nearly a year to destroy the T-con board!
You could get in touch with Toshiba to see if there is some kind of problem that is cropping up on this model that might cause failure in on the T-con.

What part of an HDTV has the firmware for a LCD tv by toshiba 42HL67 no public firmware for flashing want to replace board

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/

Wont turn on but yellow light is flashing

I followed the steps at the following link and it worked for me. I have a 2007 Toshiba Regza 42HL67, but the firmware applies to many models as documented in the readme file at the location found via the link below. I used a 1gb SD card formatted FAT16, copied the unzipped files and folder to the card (wasn't sure if it required the top level folder or only the files under the top level folder so I copied both to the root of the SD card), unplugged the TV, inserted the card, plugged in the TV, waited 2.5 minutes, unplugged the TV, removed the card, plugged in the TV, yellow light flashed 3 times and went out. I turned on the TV and it has worked normally since last night.

My toshiba 42HL167 won't turn on

Try this fix from the toshiba website. Q. I have no picture or sound, but I have a blinking power light?
Models: LCD-2007
REF:FAQLCD00090
1. Try resetting the TV by disconnecting the power for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in. If this has no
effect, try moving the TV to a different power outlet that has been tested and is known to be good.
2. If your unit continues to fail, please contact our Customer Solutions Department at 1-800-631-3811 Monday
through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 7 pm CST for a local Toshiba Authorize Service Station Hope this helps you with your problem.

Yellow light blinking - blank screen - won't turn on

The problem is with the signal board. Basically, it is not allowing the power signal to go from the on button from the set or the remote to the TV. I am having the exact same problem with my 42" LCD Regza. Currently, if you are under warranty, Toshiba does not have these in stock. They will not have them available to send until early January. My TV has been at the repair shop since December 4th. I am very upset as I won't be able to watch the bowl games in HD. If your set is still under warranty then call Toshiba help line at 800-575-5469. You will need the model number of yout TV that is listed on the front of the owner's manual. They are:
27HL67
32HL67
32HL67U
37HL67
42HL67

The first number will be the giveaway as to which model you have. It is the size of your set. They will ask you to try a hard reset. (Hold pwer button down for 5 seconds until you see the yellow light go solid and go off.) This will most likely not work. If it does, you are lucky. I found that if you unplug the TV for an extened period of time, ie overnight, ity may come back on. It will eventually give out completely though. Better to get the problem addressed with the manufacturer. If you are not under warranty then I do not know what to tell you. Right now I am searching the internet to see if I can find this part to maybe purchase myself. Only if it is not too costly. If I find anything I will post here for all. If you have any questions, feel free to email me a [email protected] and I might be able to give you more details on your problem. Good Luck.

REGZA 42HL167 Won't turn on

I found it!!

In my case, the 42HL167, the CPU pcb (most commonly referred to the SEINE PCB) is having issues booting and just isn't starting up.

My friend gave me his 42HL167 after this problem started after a power event during a storm and I managed to fix it by reloading the firmware.

I posted instructions on my website at:

http://www.benjammin.net/www/pages/techtips/Toshiba-Regza-42HL167.html

Once I figured out some of the facts, it was a breeze...

I agree -- it seems like a design flaw. What cracks me up is that the places I called for a replacement SEINE PCB require the core (the bad PCB). Well GEE, why is that!?!? EASY FIX MAYBE?

It was. Too easy. Shamefully easy.
