The red off light is blinking, and it won't turn on.

That is indicating a problem with the TV, contact Sony to diagnose the problem.

The bulb on the.tv.may be bad as.well as the color wheel try replacing both

Likely damage to main power supply-------try to see if there is a specific number of blinks then a pause and repeats like 7 blinks a pause and repeats---that is an error code if there---with it AND THE MODEL NUMBER OF THE TV I might be able or not to help.

Replaced any capacitors on the power board that have domed tops.

my tv won't show a picture the blue light on the bottom left hand corner just keeps blinking

My understanding is if any air gets in this area where the glasses are it will not work. You better ask a tv repair man to see if it is worth putting the money in to repair. There should be no charge unless you have him do something to it.

unplug the television...wait 10 seconds and then plug back in....if you listen carefully after 5-10 seconds you will hear a click sound (the same sound that you hear when you turn on or off) ...once you have heard it, turn the TV on again using the remote. Do not turn on until you hear the click. If this does not work, try again but turn the TV on again before you hear the click. I dont know why it happens but it is as if the TV gets confused as to whether its supposed to be on or off. Most of the time, the solution is to turn it on after the click so I would always try that first.

The flashing light indicates a failure with-in the tv, the amount of blinks will coincide with a particular fault scenario. Tell me how many times the light blinks and I can tell you the problem. However, the tv will need servicing from your local shop. This tv is too complex to walk you through fixing this problem with Philips plasma tvs.

these tv have a comon short problem w the video &audi bord shield if you remove the cap only it usally fixes this

i think your problem is that you are not flipping open the flash... the flash doesnt automatically flip open... and the blinking red icon in the lower left just means that since there isnt enough light, the camera will spend a bit longer to allow more light to enter the lens, hence you need to keep the camera steady and not shake it... hope this helped
