Re: Power light is blinking red 8 times after every 3...
COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS, BUT THERE ARE 2 IC'S IN THIS SET THAT GIVE A LOT OF TROUBLE. AN ESTIMATE, IF IT IS THESE IC'S, WOULD BE AROUND $250 TO GET REPAIRED BY MOST TECHS.

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here.

It is rear projection TV that use 3 picture tubes of red-green-blue to show color picture on tv front screen. Do you see standby red light blinking when TV shuts off after showing blue image for a while? If red standby light is blinking, please count it how many times it blinks, there would be 3 seconds pause between blinks so count pause to pause and post it here to find out possible solution. Thanks.
It's a power supply related problem.
The flashing 8 times is a trouble code. A Service Manual for your TV model will have the info on the codes. It could be a bad capacitor or a transformer on the power supply board.If you have some electronicexperience, you can find a Service Manual for your TV over the internet. Cost about under $20.
