When pluging in to power the red standby light comes on then goes right back off

The standby light means the tv is plug into the wall and getting power. A power surge can wipe out a tv and still leave the power light on.

You still have a shorted circuit board. I recommend you just replace the TTV

The set will need to be properly diagnosed. It could be a defective main board or power supply.

Set is in protective shutdown--best thing is to take to a shop and get an estimate.

Have the main power supply checked out first, you only have standby 5v power supply working right now.

bad connection

Sorry about that. When the tv goes bad like not turning on, the green light will blink, and goes right back to red standby light while the dtv letters will briefly show on the lower right of the tv screen, then go back to blank screen. The tv will need to be taken to an authorized service center for repair. Common causes are a bad inverter/power supply, power control board, or circuit board.

Player goes back to standby because the power supply still has a problem.Run checks on semiconducters in primary cct. of chopper transformer.If ok, replace the pulse width modulator.That should fixya.

I'm still not sure about your question. Let me quess that by saying power/standy light goes to red...that mean your computer
is going into standby mode.!!!! So do it this way..on the left or right top corner of your notebook not the monitor, you should be having a small pin pointing up..I think that pin is use when you close the lid of your Laptop and it make your laptop goes into standby mode.When I mean goes into standby(sleep mode) the first think you can notice that your monitor light will be off and you can still see a very light image.So maybe this pin is stuck try to push it down for several times..
best of luck, takecare
