When troubleshooting these units, there are always several variables to consider. First check to see what last occurred with the unit such as did the children play video games, did the electricity go out due to bad weather. You may see that there are many possibilities but let's focus on what occurred last to the unit. Once we determine what happened last, we may isolate the actual cause of the problem. The actual cause may be associated with projection issues, older versions (Picture tube), interference from devices located nearby, and even a radio turned on and located really close to your unit. This is normally known as electromagnetic interference to electronics and is very common with the error you have provided today. Please continue to look for anything EXTERNAL to the unit before looking at the internal components. I have been working on these a long time so feel free to follow up with me.

The TV shut off, made a popping sound. The

Power board short and bad capacitor blown, capacitors usually pop because of shorted or open rectifiers and linear devices that warp inside. This happens due to excessive heat exposure from the current draw. Bad diodes and FET's are usually the root cause as to why capacitors bulge then eventually pop. This means the the x-y sustain boards are not getting their supply voltage resulting a no picture....

The red light flashes an error code for a technician to read, the tv is in protection mode to prevent further damage. Get it serviced at your local repair center or take it back if its under warranty.....

42'' lcd turns on no picture/menu

Your tv is being attacked by electrical surges which seem very violent and has already damaged some logic controls. Please invest in a AC filter which will protect your tv from such spikes....... but first you need to get your tv serviced from the electrical damaged it has already suffered.

No picture but has sound

The problem can be caused by a bad sustain board (Ysus Zsus) , the popping sound is often caused by a capacitor blowing up.
The TV must be taken apart and tested before eventually replacing sustain boards.
