Tv won't power up. Keep clicking with red timer light flashing off and on with every click. What could be problem? Fixable or is TV toast?

this is a simple capacitor fix at your local tv guy..should be 100 to $150 max

tried to check first the power supply if no any sign of bulging electrolytic capacitor this was a common that we encountered trouble.

cireric13,

Your most likely problem is bad capacitors in the power supply. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r7490709-plasma_or_lcd_turns_momentarily_shuts which explains how to check the unit and where to get the replacement parts.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating and testimonial.

It seems that your unit has some sort of PSU fault, or a problem that is shutting down the Power Supply Unit, PSU. This happens so that no further damage, and possible fire will occur.
You need to take the unit to a reputable service centre/man and ask for a firm "Quote" for the work to be done. It is that sound that gives it away, this is a typical switchmode Power Supply problem.

only clicks and blinks

When I turn on the TV I hear the click sound and the TV powers up. Immediatly the red (standby) light begins to flash 6 times on and off. this happenes only in the morning, but after 5:00PM when youturn on the TV as if nothing is wrong.

what is the problem?

I heated up board with hair dryer through back of TV without taking back cover off. The heat was on high for approx. 5min. and was placed on right side of TV about 1/3 up from bottom.

Well, I have found out that the number of red light blinks is a "blink code" that indicates the nature of the fault with the TV. Usually these are various failures of internal fuses or circuit boards. There's a fair amount of information on threads at techlore.com on this, so try searching there. Teh specific codes and manuals are usually it seems under license from Sony and not available for free to the public. Sorry!
