Two most likely areas are power supply (filter caps?) or the main board which controls almost everything---a bit like saying my car stalls---things have to be checked out.

HelloPlug it out from AC mains, and let it be in that state overnight, and then check. OK.

This has nothing to do with the power cord, the fault is internal.
This is what happens: a part inside your tv has failed; when the tv is started the first thing that gets powered is the power source; when it reaches working order it starts to deliver the power to the other components, including the failed one; that failed one now acts as a short so the current thru it gets much larger than it should; this huge increase in current is detected by the safety system of the power source which gets triggered in emergency mode and shuts down the power source by force.
Normally the tv's processor would be powered long enough to detect itself the damaged part and generate a fault code - the status light should blink. If this doesn't happens it means that the fault is massive and affects directly the power source. Because of that the tv must be opened and tested, starting with the power source. The first step is something that you could do yourself, just follow this

If, after that, you are still in the same situation, it's clear that another components were also damaged. From now on only an experienced repairman can do the diagnose, you will have to call one.

Most major manufacturers supply manuals online so if you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, you may be pleasantly surprised as usually, if available, one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, Dealer Network for spare part supplies as required.

The information is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

Sounds like a faulty power supply, most probably caused by a power surge or the likes.

the problem on ur unit is the y-sud board , u need to replace this board to fix ur problem

This happens because the power source has failed. What has caused the failure can be found only by testing it - but my guess, based on how it behaves, is that the high tension for the panel is faulty: the filtering capacitors have failed and fried the rectifier.

It's in fault protection mode. Relay clicks then Clicks right back off to protect other components from getting damaged. If you are no longer under warranty DIY. Opening the set will void any warranty you may have. The UF capacitors on the PSB are blown. Recaping, a soldering iron and some solder is all you need. Under 20 bucks.

i think your video output on the game is too high.
bring it back to 720 lines instead of 1080

Looks like sound IC problem

flashing power light:

projection TV`s have many protective circuits in them, they protect your CRT`s from damage, over voltage called x-ray, and many others, you need to have it checked before the damage is more costly, your TV is not happy and needs to be checked

please verify the model number and brand name of the universal remote control u have.

Do you not have owners Manual it will tell you how to program! You also need to post Brand Name of TV and Model number. Thank You.

The TV may simply be stuck in standby, the remote control will be required to get it started if there are no front panel controls. If there are front panel controls then the panel lock may be on. The remote is needed.

check remote-control batteries, if not .there could be a problem with the tv power supply section.

Try Best buy they should have a universal stand if not try Tops Electronics in Haverhill ma

Replaced the ROM chip controlling this area. Cost $1.98 plus an hours worth of labor. Purchased several extra ROMs for future use.

my first guess would be the bit of wire bypassing the fuse.
