Power light flashes 3 times

I own a 52 inch rca hdtv model # d52w20 When turning the tv on the power light would flash 3 times and the tv would not come on. After many attempts the tv would work that lasted for about 3 weeks now it just flashes and does not come on. This happened once before and the tech replaced the power transistor and fly back. I ordered a fly back and will try that any other advice would help.

Thank you in advance,

    the fly back did not fix the issue I ordered a Horzontal out put Transistor. I hope this fixes the issue. Any feed back would be helpful Thanks in advance.

    The High voltage Transistor did not fix the issue so I did check the connections on those coils. I found 3 green caps 2200 mf16v 22035v 33035v bulging out the top and bottom I pulled those caps and turnd on the tv now I get a high pitch sound instead of a low pitch sound when trying to turn on the tv. I ordered these caps and am pretty sure that this is the last fix I will keep all posted Any feed back you can offer is helpfull and thanks for the help you have already given. Thanks in advance.

The flyback should cure your problem.

    If the flyback didnt fix that issue locate a small plastic coil with copper wire wrapped around it. check the solder connections on that it is within an inch or two from the flyback its usually white or black plastic tower with exsposed copper wrapped around it.

Unplug High voltage lead from HV splitter. This is a red wire going from HV transformer to similar (white plastic) device located up front, between picture tubes. Disconnect the one which is coming in, by strong energetic pull down with pliers. Leave those which go to picture tubs in. Make sure that disconnected wire is far from other components or metal parts (high voltage - SEVERAL INCHES SPARK CAN OCCUR) Turn the unit on - if different than 3 blinks - the splitter is your problem.

Please post the model number of your RCA as usually its a bad flyback and start up capacitor when you get a 3 blink error code . But I can help you better if I have the model number of your set.

Green light flashes

Same thing here....RCA tells me to count the times the light flashes as it apparently is set to "tell" you what the problem is.......3 to 5 flashes means your lamp is messed up.....they are over $300 to replace!
