When we turn out TV on when it's cold, the TV will not immediately come on. Instead it makes an intermittent clicking noise and the red LED flashes at each click. Eventually the TV comes on, and once it's on, operates normally. If we turn the TV off, then back on before it's had a chance to cool completely, it comes on immediately. This problem seems to worsen each day in that the TV takes longer to come on. What is the problem and is it easily/inexpensively repairable or should we just buy a new one? Thank you for any help you can provide. This is driving us crazy!
Right now it should not be expensive to repair,the symptoms point to loose solder conection and it has gradually become worst,if you take the set to the shop it should cost less.What happens is the 10 legs the vertical ic has get overheated and loose,to prove this tap on the side of the set just to see if it reacts,it should also be check for other overheated areas while in service.If the quality of the picture is good then is worh repairing.
