The red light in front flashes and sometimes it actually makes on and off noises, but will not turn on. TV was working fine and poof. I have unplugged all connections, and reconnected. The only constant is the red light flashing. Any suggestions? Is it worth repairing. The set is 5 years old.

I
know this isn't what you want to hear, but the problem you've described
can't be fixed with troubleshooting. Your TV will have to be repaired.
There is a part that has developed a defect and needs to be replaced.
The question will be, is the part still available? Before paying a TV
repair person $75+ to diagnose the problem, ask yourself if you're
willing to pay $150 minimum to fix this particular set. Also keep in
mind that most TVs that old have a very limited number of replacement
parts still available. Normally it will cost at least $75 to have the
set looked at by a repair shop (diagnostics). If the part needed to
complete the repair isn't available, you won't get that money back.
I hope I've provided you useful assistance and that this information
allows you to make an informed decision as to how to proceed from here.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
