Thats a very common problem caused by weak capacitors on the DM board. When power is lost the caps discharge and when the power is restored they cannot recharge so the timer led will blink non stop. You can get the DM repair kit for your model from www.tvrepairworld.com it contains the upgraded capacitors and the CD with repair instructions.

There are 7 capacitors that need replacing in you digital module, it is located on the left hand side facing the back of the set. After opening the module there is a small power board inside, replace all 1000uf 16volt capaictors with 680uf 16volt capaictors. After replacing them there will be a small green led on the board that lights inside the digital unit. it will flash then go steady if all is ok with the set after replacing these capacitors.

Flashing green light

Did you try this yet

SYSTEM RESET
If the TV will not respond to either the remote control
or the front panel controls and/or will not power Off,
press the SYSTEM RESET button with a pointed item
like the end point of a paperclip. The TV will turn Off
and the TIMER light will flash quickly for about one
minute. When the TIMER light stops flashing, you may
turn on the TV again. Changes you made the last time
the TV was On before you used the SYSTEM RESET
button may be lost, however, the changes you made
previously are not lost.
POWER/TIMER Indicator
The green light is a multi-function indicator. This light
will flash rapidly for about one minute each time the TV
is plugged into the wall electrical outlet, when power
is restored after a power failure, or using the SYSTEM
RESET button. Do not attempt to turn on the TV again
during this period. Wait for the flashing to stop and
the light to turn off, before attempting to turn the TV
on. While the TV is powered on, the light illuminates
steadily. If the TV has been programmed to turn on
automatically using the Timer feature,

Timer blinking all the time can't turn TV ON.

The TV is on protect mode.

Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.

Also ensure that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending bad signal, check if you get same problem with no receiver box or dvd connected.

If that does not work, and you keep having a flashing led on front of the TV, and tv turning off by itself after a while, that indicates a fault condition.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible reasons.

1The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , startingthe flashing light.


If you are in situation one, then theTV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

Common faults that can occur are a blown capacitor on power board, a convergence IC has blown, or a fault on Digital board.

Check also the video cable or any external connection cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you can get same flashing state because of the video cable.


If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

The electricity had gone off due to a fault somewhere in the area which switched the tv off (it was on and working fine). the electricity was off 4 about 10mins and then came back on, then went off, then...

Hi.

Modern sets dont like power surges which is what happens when supply goes on & off.

I would think that something is damaged it will be expensive to repair.
My advice would be get A shop to check it for you If you can ask them to see if this problem in there opinion is due to power surge.
If you have house hold insurance new for old make A claim.

Hope this helps.
