Led Indicator Light!!

My televison will not come on. The Lamp is ok; it not broken. Once the TV powers on the green indicator light blinks a couple of time and the TV powers itself off; then on. The process repeats itself with the LED indicator (green) blinking and powering of the TV.

There are three thing that are the most obvious (there are other things that can fail too, but not as usual as these failures) that can cause your failure.

The first and most usual is a worn out lamp. It it hasn't been changed for awhile, then it's the first obvious step to remedy this try to start up, fail, retry, repeat failure. the lamp doesn't have to look bad to be bad. normally when a lamp is getting worn there are a few tells. Other than the picture growing darker, it may have been taking longer to turn on and maybe it started to shut off after a few minutes and this time started to get shorter in length.

The second problem could be a bad ballast. this is the circuit that develops the 5,000 volts to ignite the mercury vapor lamp. When this fails it's symptom is usually one day it fails to light up the lamp.

The last of the usual failures is the color wheel. The color wheel must spin up at 1800 RPM and maintain this speed in sync with the video before the signal is sent to the ballast telling it to ignite the lamp. When this fails you can hear the bearings starting to seize and it sounds like a noisy fan.

This is probably the result of a defective power supply.  The TV needs to go into a service shop.
