Hi - Yes. There are high voltage components in your CRT TV that only a certified TV repair shop should repair. And the cost of that would likely be over $100 so you are definitely better off getting a new LCD TV. You will also save a great deal of electricity with your new TV, my 55" only uses $19 worth of electricity a year. And the picture is much better as well.
Have fun shopping!
Toss it Even if the tube is not broke chances are it will cost to much to repair and chances are even greater the metal part of the tube, (called the shadow mask) is warped and you will never get good color on it again I have been in the tv service business for 40 years and have not replaced picture tube for the last five years.
This is likely solder connections cracking on your convergence ICs. If you can bump the tv and it goes back to normal, it just needs resoldering, but if it doesn't, then it needs the ICs replaced. If the convergence is out, you will see a bowed picture and the red, green, and blue will be separated. Worth repairing if you can find a company to do it affordably, I can help you repair yourself if you have disassembly and soldering skills.
Yes, the blinks are error codes. I would not bother trying to figure out what they mean, I can tell you right now. Expensive repair. Average repair costs are 1/4 to 1/2 of the TV's current worth. Most likely a bad transistor. The average expected life span of a TV set is 3-5 years. After that, stuff starts wearing out fast. Time to move on.
This is just a suggestion because I had a similar problem with a Zenith TV many years ago. It was something in the tuner/remote sensor circuit that made the TV randomly turn on or off. You may have to have it repaired by a technician, but here is something to try: Put tape over the remote sensor eye on the front of the TV. This is to make sure some stray light is not turning off the TV.
It is a 20" TV set and will most likly, im afraid to tell you, cost more to fix then it is worth. The problem is a bad Picture tube, an intermittant CRT socket or the video jungle IC is intermittant. If you want to invest in an estimate, check out first if it will go towards the repair, as then maybe you can get it fixed at a good price, as long as the picture tube is not the problem Good Luck
