I bought this unit last spring, but it has less than 20 hours viewing time on it. I turned it on the other day, The picture is fine, but I get not sound. I have muted/unmuted, played with the sound, unplugged it, reset i,t etc. to no avail.
Two things to do:
First see if you have sound with a DVD etc connected to a rear input.
Second look in the menu to make sure speakers not switched off or to external

A service technician arrived at my home this morning and infromed me that 13 blinks indicates a bad LCD panel. His quote to repair it was approximately $500 more than the TV initially cost. I contacted Sony support directly, and they have agreed to replace the TV, since it is less than 30 days out of warranty. The KDL40V3000 has apparently been dicontinued so they are replacing with a KDL40V4100(factory reconditioned). I know this won't necessarily help others with the same problem, but if your warranty ended recently enough they will probably work with you to mitigate the expense.

Since the TV is still receiving power, the problem is going to be with the TV's mainboard. After you unplugged the TV and plugged it back in, you said the power light went out again, so I assume the standby light wasn't flashing again? The flashing standby light is indicating an error code so my suggestion is to contact Sony for service options regardless if there is a warranty or not because service is the only solution to this situation. Don't forget to provide them the error code or 4 flashes repeating.

It sounds like an Intergrated Circuit (IC) has fried. Even on a good day, this is not something you can attack at home. As a tech (and as an owner of that model samsung), I'd need a map & tools to know what's going on. Your best bet in this situation is to contact Samsung and let them recommend an authorized service center in your area. Sorry I can't be of more help, but this is a rather serious problem.

There is a problem with the processor. The only way to resolve this issue is to replace the main board. It is called the A board in your TV.

it sounds like your back light might be going out. You might be able to fix this by installing a new backlight inverter board.
