The TV will play perfectly for extended periods, but then shut off with the "on" light blinking. I am on digital cable and had 3 diffrent boxes installed, but the problem continues. I can unplug the TV from the wall socket and after a few minutes or hours, re-plug and start the unit normally. The cycle has been ongoing for several months and the TV is only 2 years old. Store service folk indicate that this is not a good "in-home" repair item and want to carry to their shop to observe for a period of days and then install one or more "cards" to solve issue. Only problem with this is that with pickup and delivery, I am looking at $225.00 minimum, not including the cost of parts. This is scary, since I paid less than $400 for the unit in the first place.
What cards? they looks as dosent know what talking abouth, or are ready to fry you, well this sound as a cold solder, but is a job for a tech, $400.00 is the price of new, and thats a $80.00 to $100.00 job in my area, doing in home or in the shop....good luck
Most Likely it is a bad STR (the Power Regulator IC) in the Power supply circuit.Get it replaced and it should sort out. Should not cost u more than 15-20$ for the STR + Technician fees.
This set yhas a bad str type power regulator IC i have seen this problem 1 hundred times .. Get a repair guy to replace thye IC and your set. good Luck
