Green light flashing all the time on my TV set.

You can see an easy step-by-step guide to programming your remote right on your TV screen:
Press MENU on your remote control Select Settings & Help Select Settings Select Remote Control Select Program Remote and follow the on-screen prompts You can also use the manual method below: Make sure your TV and your receiver are both on. Use this tool to look up the 5-digit code for your TV. There could be more than one code for your brand of TV. Slide the MODE switch on your remote control to the TV position. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT buttons at the same time until the green light at the top of your remote flashes twice, then release both buttons. Using the number buttons, enter the 5 digit code for your brand of TV. The green light under the TV should flash twice. Aim the remote at your TV and press the VOLUME UP button. If the volume doesn't increase, repeat Steps 3-5, trying a different 5-digit code for your TV. If your remote control fails to program using all available codes, try scanning for additional codes. If one of the codes worked, proceed to the next step. Press and hold MUTE and SELECT buttons until the green light at the top of your remote control flashes twice. Enter 9-6-0 using the keypad on the remote control. The green light should flash twice again. Slide the MODE switch on your remote control to the DIRECTV position. Follow these steps to scan for additional TV codes using your DIRECTV remote: Slide the MODE switch on your remote control all the way to the right to the TV position. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT buttons at the same time until the green light at the top of your remote flashes twice, then release both buttons. Using the number buttons, enter 9-9-1. The green light on your remote should flash twice. Aim the remote at your TV and press CHAN/PAGE UP button. Tap the CHAN/PAGE UP button repeatedly until the TV powers off. When the TV powers off, press and release the SELECT button. Note: If the green light flashes three times before your TV responds, then all codes have been cycled through. Our remote controls are guaranteed to program to your DIRECTV receiver, but your TV may not be compatible with our remote control.

3 blinks is a lamp cover error, did you make sure that the lamp cover is screwed in tight? Also check the lamp cover for deformity, there is a problem with your model where the set over heats and melts the lamp cover a little causing it not to make connection with the lamp cover switch. Let me know if you find either of these problems? If not we can troubleshoot a little further.

Remove one at a time the Y sus and Y buffer cables that go to the power board and see if the set stays on then, you may have a distorted pic, replace the board that makes the set stay on...there are some transistors on the buffer board that give issues a lot and I'd guess that's where your issue is at

Have you even replaced the bulb / lamp on this TV - other than the green light - did they turn solid red / orange at any point? My initial thought is you need to replace the bulb.

Unable to Find Correct Code
If you were unable to find the code for your brand of TV or component, you can try a code search. This process may take up to 30 minutes.
1. Turn on the TV or component. Insert a tape or disk if applicable.
2. Slide the MODE switch to the TV, AV1 or AV2 position, as desired.
3. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light under the selected switch position flashes twice, then release both keys.
4. Enter 9-9-1 followed by one of the following four digits:
Satellite - 0
TV - 1
VCR/DVD - 2
Stereo Receiver/Stereo Amplifier - 3
5. Press PWR, or other functions (e.g. PLAY for VCR) you want to use.
6. Point the remote at the TV or component and press CHAN+. Repeatedly press CHAN+ until the TV or component turns off.
NOTE: Every time CHAN+ is pressed the remote advances to the next code and power is transmitted to the component.
7. Use the CHAN- key to step back a code.
8. When the TV or component turns off, stop pressing the CHAN+ key. Then, press and release the SELECT key.
NOTE: If the light flashes 3 times before the TV or component responds, you've cycled through all codes and the code you need is not available. You must use the remote that came with your TV or component.

Verifying the Codes
Once you have set up the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control using the above steps, use the following instructions to find out the 5-digit code to which your component responded:
1. Slide the MODE switch to the appropriate position.
2. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light under the selected switch position flashes twice, then release both keys.
3. Enter 9-9-0. (The green light under the selected switch position flashes twice.)
4. To view the first digit in the code, Press and release then number 1 key. Wait three seconds, and count the number of times the green light flashes. Write this number down.
5. Repeat step 4 four more times for the remaining digits; i.e., press number 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit and 5 for the final digit.\


Depending on how you set up your remote, the VOL and MUTE may control the volume only on your TV, regardless of the position of the MODE switch. This remote can be set up so that the VOL and MUTE keys work only with the component selected by the MODE switch. To enable this feature, perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the DIRECTV position flashes twice, then release both keys.
2. Using the number keys, enter 9-9-3. (The green light will flash twice after the 3.)
3. Press and release the VOL+ key. (The green light flashes 4 times.)
Now the VOL and MUTE keys will work only for the component selected by the MODE switch position.

To Lock Volume to AV1, AV2 or TV

Hi,
I can see you are frustrated so I'll see if I can help. Here are the Akai TV codes:
