The light flashes 7 times and sometimes only 6 times. I called a service repair man and he said it's probably the power board. I push the power button and it clicks but doesn't turn the picture on. Sometimes it will occasionally that's why I don't think the board is totally out. I pulled the back of and did not see any obvious problems like loose wires or heavy dust. Any suggestions like everyone else my budget won't allow replacement and it's the T.V. for all to watch.

Those 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.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

nspect the bottom of these boards for cold solder joints with a magnifier & resolder suspect pins, also check the capacitors on the board, if they are little silver smd type look for yellowish liquid to be present around one or several of them, you need to replace, either of the above could be your solution.

Check that the large fan in the back is working when you turn it on. If not, the set will shut itself off

I have this tv, and had the same problem. I just had a repairman come (because almost all of them make house calls for a 20-30 fee to be included in the repair charge if you use them) and for $275 he fixed everything.. all set. Good luck!

This is usually an indication of a failure in the scan amplifier sections. When the scan amplifiers or high voltage sections fail, the main power supply will usually also require servicing.
It is very common that the fly-back and high voltage multiplier and also the horizontal output stage fails in these sets. Along with it, the power supply will usually require to be serviced. On rare occasions, the vertical deflection amp fails.
