I'd check the exact model on the back if I were you.
In LCD TVs this could be caused by either bad power board or bad main board.
In plasma TVs this can be caused by other boards as well.
If it's an LCD the first step is to verify the power board.
if it's a plasma it's usually to start eliminating other boards by disconnecting them from power to see whether and when will the auto-shutting (the blinking LED) disappear.
Probably the easiest thing to do is to send the power board to someone who knows how to test it independantly.
If you want to do that feel free to contact us or just find a local provider.
You can fix this yourself with a software upgrade - get the upgrade from Philips website - go to www.usasupport.philips.com, enter your model number, click on the verison of your model ending in /37, and click on "Software & Drivers"; click on the link that says "Firmware Upgrade - Software".
Instructions are on the same page - make sure you only transfer the .upg file, not the entire zip file to a portable memory stick.
