WHEN I TURN MY TV ON THE GREEN LIGHT GOES FROM GREEN TO BLINKING RED. I HAVE TO UNPLUG TO GET THE RED LIGHT TO STOP. THEN PLUG IT BACK UP ALLOW IT TO POWER DOWN AND THEN TRY TURNING IT BACK ON. I AM HAVING TO DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT COMES ON AND STAY. AFTER I HAVE WATCHED TV FOR A WHILE I AM ABLE TO TURN IT ON AND OFF LIKE NORMAL. ITS ALMOST AS IF A TUBE OR SOMETHING HAS TO WARM UP BEFORE IT STAYS ON.

SOURCE: Philips 42 in. Plasma shut down

The LED blinking 7 times is a code to tell the service tech what is wrong with the TV. From what I've read at other sites it sounds like there;s a good posibility that it is a power supply gone bad.

You probably should call a TV repair shop for assisitance.

SOURCE: TV won't come on - get a blinking red light instead

Most likely the TV has a power supply related problem. The most common thing to go out is the circuit board that supply power to the screen. Commonly called a Backlight Inverter Board.
I can't say it's 100% the problem because I can't actually look at the tv over the internet.
If by chance the TV is still under warranty, go that route.
If not under warranty and If you have some electronic experience, you can purchase a Service Manual over the internet and diagnose the source of the problem and fix it by soldering in the new part. The Service Manual will give you the flashing red light codes, circuit diagrams, test points, and part# lists. Usually, cost under $20.

I hope I shed some light on the subject for you.

Replace the Main Power Supply inside the TV.

SOURCE: red light blinking, tv doesn't start

Your TV is in Protection Mode right now. A part inside the TV has failed and the TV will not turn ON to prevent other parts from being damaged. The red light blinking is an error code for diagnosing the problem part on the one of the power supply boards. The problem boards that need to be looked at is the Backlight Inverter Board or the Main Power Supply Board.
There is a slim chance you can leave the TV unplugged for an hour so the TV can discharge and reset itself. But other than that, I would use the warranty if possible. The TV repair shop maybe expensive, so get some price quotes to see if it worth the trouble.

When you turn the TV on, does it attempt to come on and then off? Does the light go green when you attempt to power up and then goes red?
