Turned the tv on using the remote control - heard the tv make the normal start up pop noise, then an zapping kind of sound - the red led lamp is blinking twice fast - the unit now has no picture or sound - this tv is only three years old - Is this something common? Help!! I was going to try and fix the unit myself but I can't even find a repair manual on the tv - Any hints?
That sounds like the Hi voltage transformer went bad.. If your a tech simply disconnect the horizontal output transistor and see if thats shorted. If it is then it is for sure the HV transformer. If its not shorted look in the main power supply. Its cost is around 40 bucks or so and the transistor is about 15 to 20 bucks. This entire repair should cost ya around 150 to 175. So if you decide this tv is the one you like then have it fixed. Good Luck
