New Pro Scan LCD TV "flashes"

Tv only a week old take it back were u bought it,trade it in for another tv.Tv have a picture than flashes only a few sec. than died have sound left only?Yes,than those tv 2 long LCD inverter boards are dead.These tv 2 long LCD inverter boards are only to help the tv to have a backlight for tv LCD screen panel only to produced pictures.

Tv is new only 6 months old?Yes take ur warranty repair service.The tv have 2 long LCD inverter boards problems,to causes the LCD screen panel to flashing/blinking or it is the causing by a bad power supply board,that the board where the a/c power cord plug into it.

More than likely you have a power board that is failing. Since the TV is so old I doubt it is under warranty still. I estimate it would cost you anywhere between $300-400 to repair that problem so it may be time to switch to a newer LCD TV.

Not a picture tube problem. Re tune the the TV by auto search or manual tuning.

Store your favorites later in your way.

I have same problem with a 7 month old Toshiba 26LV610U LCD TV/DVD combo.

The flashing may indicate a failed power supply. Or a bad backlight tube.

Only 3 months old? Any warranty?

Considering its age I would say a defective part or poor assembly is to blame.

Call Sharp for warrenty repair.This problem very common in Sharp tv.Picture will come on turn power on/off button few times will work.But still under Wareenty call to Sharp to replaced the main Tuner Signal board.

consult manual for troubleshooting it could be that lamp in tv takes long time to cool down or that it is bad they usually last about 2-3 years depends on how you use your tv

Look at this

I have a 56" model that I have had a similar problem. My bulb burned out in <90 days. Warranty was 90 days on the bulb itself. When the TV picture goes out, the indicator LEDS blink on and off.

Here is what you have to determine:

1) First cover the left LED with a piece of paper so that you can't see it blinking. I don't know if your layout is the same as my TV. You may have to switch the paper blocking the LED.

2) Pay attention to the other LED and READ its' flashing code. In my case, the code was 2-3. It would flash 2 times, pause briefly, then flash 3 times. This meant code 23. That indicated the bulb was burned out.

3) If you look in the manual, It does have a code list of some sorts to tell you of the codes and their meanings. Hope this helps.
