anyone good with TVs? flashing red light.....

[AndyHo10]

Anyone know what the problem is with a TV if it keeps flashing the power light whenever i try to turn it on?

I searched online and it said to change the capacitors if its bubbled up or damaged but they all look fine, so i have no idea whats wrong with it now. Any ideas?

Have you tried unplugging it from the mains, leaving it for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in? My Sony Bravia gets in that mode ocassionally (probably due to glitches in the mains power).

You've had the back off?

*edit* I 2nd what Grunty said, but if you've had the back off I assume you had the power off!!

don't listen to grunt...it's utter rubbish. your problem lies with the transformer which is just behind the socket on your TV. as there are many different types, just take it out and go to your TV Service center and buy a new one. Alternatively of course you can call the service centre and they will handle it for you for a fee.

Why are you consulting your INSURANCE POLICIES to see if such damage is covered?
