Assuming the basics have been signed off, the usual reason that a set will not fire up is a power supply problem. In sets like yours the supply comes from the transistor that supplies the screen with pulses and hence high voltage. In short with a set as old as this I personally would not be bothered getting it repaired. You could probably find someone giving a working set away for free on numerous local selling websites.

SOURCE: No picture, standby light blinking

MOST LIKELY THE ERROR 3 IS THE 200V LINE TO THE CRT DRIVE IC.IC702. ON THE CRT PC BOARD. IT ALSO COULD HAVE GONE OUT IF YOU HAVE HEAVY USAGE ON THE SET 8-12 HRS A DAY. THE CTR COULD SHOT AND TAKE OUT THE I.C. AS FOR IS IT WORTH FIXING, THEY DON'T MAKE CRT TV'S ANY MORE AND THE NEW SETS SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

if you have the circuit diagram of your tv,check the horizontal polarisation IC closer to the line transformer and replace it.If it doesn't work,send the question again.

SOURCE: tv won't stay on it shuts off as soon as I

Most Sony's usually always have bad regulator ics. Depending on your model, could be a mcz3001 or str ic or mxoa ic. Check for 160v across the main capacitor for 160v to see if your power supply is working. Do not use chassis ground. Use the ground on the cap.

Standby light blinks 7 times on my kv30hs420 is it worth the repair

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit stage inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power led, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. Viewing it in "Mosaic" will make surf easy.

What's your problem? won't turn on..... yellow/orange light continually flashes three times...

Toshiba Regza 37in - 37HL17
TV will not turn on - Yellow power ind. Light blinks three times...
Fixed with a firmware update (hard to believe, but true). Search Google for a file named: 2007SEN069.zip (don't worry if the page you find it on doesn't mention the 37HL17 - it worked fine). Unzip the file, and copy the 3 folders and 3 files to the root of a small SD card. The SD card MUST be 2GB or less in size (I used a 1GB card), and it MUST be formatted with FAT-16 (not FAT-32). Mine was pre-formatted as FAT (FAT-16). The SD port is on the back of the TV behind a cover plate near the power cable. You do NOT need to remove the back cover of the TV, just the small cover plate (1 screw). UNPLUG the TV; remove the cover plate; insert the SD card (prepped as explained above); Plug in the TV; Watch the yellow lights blink, then turn blue, then go dark; UNPLUG the TV; remove the SD Card and replace the cover; Plug in the TV; Yellow lights will blink a few times (this is normal); when blinking stops, turn on the TV and you should be good to go. :-)
Pictures attached are from a Toshiba software upgrade bulletin I found online.

Green timer light won't stop flashing on mitsubishi ws 73711.

the green light blinking is normal if set has been unplugged--when set is plugged back it should blink for about 70 seconds and then go out--then you can try to turn it on---it is the DM unit inside the set booting up.

If the light just blinks and never stops you have likely bad caps in the DM unit---there are kits available for that.

The other possible reason is that so called reset switch may be bad--fairly easy way to find that out and it is more common than you would think, let me know if you have questions.

Sony Trinitron won't turn on red light blinks 9 times

Nine blinks - Replace D 6116 and D 6301 on the "G" board, do not re-solder as this will fix the problem temporary. Or Panel Module Error or Thermal Error. If it is intermittent 9 blinks, meaning sometimes the TV comes on and other times you get flashing, then change the switching regulator on the "G" board or check connections. Make sure the regulator is -12 or -13 (negative).

Won't turn on, light flashed 9 times

the 9 blinks is indicating a panel SOS which means the Panel itself is whats causing the 9 blink error code.

Sony KP-51WS500 will not turn on

I believe the problem is either in the G board ( power supply) or the D Board ( high voltage) as the 3 blinks indicate the G board, and 7 indicates the D board and 6 indicates the +5 line a and b boards. So with that many codes its most likely the G board (power supply) You can get a new replacement G board at the following link which comes with free tech support to help you plug the baord in which is very easy. Its listed under the Sony parts category and its the A-1316-566-A sony G board, Here is the link.
