32HFX71 Blinking Pwr Indicator Light

TV 5 yrs old, 32 inch normal size screen - working fine, then went out. Power Ind Light is blinking steady. What is wrong? Is it - convergence? vertical output circuit? power supply? Is it worth fixing or should I spring for a new wide-screen LCD?

Not likely convergence because it's simply a direct view TV. Could be vertical, a common problem with that unit is the vertical output IC Q301 and poor solder connections of the link off R305. This could be enough to put the unit in shutdown. And it could also be SMPS, possibly regulator or horizontal output transistor - you would need to test these to be sure. The HOT, if shorted, will have continuity E to B or E to C.. If you're not sure you're up to this take it to a reputable shop. What I've described above isn't too serious and a good shop can having back to running good as new in a couple of hours. One tip I might add, take to the shop yourself it will save a few bucks. Good Luck Bill

While watching tv on saturday, my screen went black and their is absolutely no picture nor sound can you tell me if i can fix it as it is only 3 years old

Any indication of power? red light? blinking light? Sounds like the power supply failed if no indicators on. 3 yrs is an average lifespan for these new sets.... unless you are a tech, it's time for a repair shop. Get an estimate first, sometimes its not worth getting an old set fixed...

TV auto shut off-power indicator light blinking-won't turn back on

You could have gotten an electrical surge that put your set into a shutdown condition and unplugging the set and letting the Microprocessor reset will fix this problem if it dosent blow out the main power regulator as you still or might I say have a regulator IC problem. IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN MORE THEN A FEW TIMES WITHIN A SMALL TIME FRAME I WOULD HAVE THE SET LOOKED AT BEFORE THE REGULAOR BLOWS SOMETHING OUT!!!!
