Theatre View Toshiba Rear Projection TV 50 Inch with no sound or picture and a red light keeps blinking
I have a Theatreview Rear Projection TV 50 Inch Toshiba Today I could not get it to power on- Each time I pointed the remote or attempted to push the power button in nothing would happen The button should click whenever it is pushed in or the whenever the remote is aimed at the TV and turned on - Instead of turning on the TV a red light starts blinking at the power button If I aim the remote at the tv i get the red light to stop blinking but it stays lit red . if i press the remote again to turn off the TV the red light starts blinking again. And i had no picture or sound. All it would do is keep blinking this red light. I do not know if this matters but i have cable TV and the TV is plugged in a surge protector -Can you help" Lost without my TV [email protected]

Get rid of this TV. Had one and replaced the bulb and light engine many times. Just buy a Samsung or Vizio 50+ inch instead and be very happy. Those Panasonic projection TV's were terrible. You will find a 50 inch Vizio for around $500 bucks and it will blow your mind how great the picture looks.
on the older sets it is a short and usually in the convergence circuit, the way to know is located the convergence chips and unsolder both from the board (18 pins each) and if set then comes on (WILL LOOK BAD) one of the two chips is bad and both need to be replaced----should be stk-392=110 chips.
Had the same problem on my 42in. and it ended up being 2 of the fuses and 1 board had to be replaced.About 900dallars worth of work,it was covered under warr.

see the link.
the problem are the convergence amps. Its a common problem for this model. Google the model # and you'll see several postings about the blinking light.
#1 When I turn on the TV the power button comes on then blinks 6 times then goes off for a few seconds then repeats the cycle. I have sound over my surround system during this time but no picture.
#2 My sound would crackle and pop every once and a while until now it does nothing. I have to watch it with the surround sound on.
