Apex 19--deserves to be kicked to the curb.

I tried the turning it off, back on, waiting, etc. no luck.

I plug it in. I push the on/off button on back to "on". The red light appears at the bottom. Then I push the "power button" on the side and the green light starts blinking. The blue screen shows for a nano-second and the TV powers itself off immediately.

I can see the light on the back when I push the side "power" button come on but immediately goes out when it powers itself off.

Any suggestions other than throwing it out the back door?
