More than likely its bad capacitors on the Power supply very common problem with most models. You can get repair kits or replacement power boards from www.tvrepairworld.com
The most likely cause is a component failure in the power circuit. This can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not really a user serviceable problem and should be looked at by a qualified technician. Here is a link to a repair shop that should be able to help you.
These tvs are known to have sensor issues. EX: door lamp sensor failure. Thermal fuse failure (above bulb)....Check all sensors on the tv and replace with new and you will be up and running again.
Lastly, always double check all connections and check the bulb ballast as well.
Here is a good link for basic troubleshooting... But 10 to one the culprit is a thermal fuse or thermal cut off.... they are usually pretty cheap and easy to replace....
One final note on these: if you find your thermal fuse\cut off (or element)
open, before replacing it, be sure to check the airflow out your dryer's
vent system. Even though these devices do 'wear out' with age, poor
airflow's the #1 cause of failure of these devices, and if your vent's
partially clogged, a new thermal won't last very long, but will do its
job again, and leave you
'cold' (a new element won't last long if the vent's clogged,
either).

Comments:
Toshiba's and JVC's are the harder ones to do
I use a Phillips myself as it is not only cheaper but has much more going for it than many of the higher end units. i throw anything at it and it just plays
The older the unit that harder it is to do the region free thing with. I let my EX have the panasonic (big grin)
If you cant find a fix then look at the codes available for cheaper brands and how easy it is to do it before you purchase one.
I know what you mean. I was cooking with this appliance tonight and suddenly it displayed an f-3 code. My advantium oven is less than 8 months old. Not sure how this happened or how to fix the problem. In order to sleep tonight (the constant beeping) I had to shut power off at the breaker pannel. Is this representative of the the type of quality that GE stands for???? I am sooo frustrated. I cook with my advantium oven all the time and love the dual abilities of this appliance. Like I said this is brand new and to have the f-3 code which apparently (from what I read) is a failed key pad. I am very dissapointed and am begining to think about pulling my stock from this company!
