Lg 42pg20 Won't Start

We have an lg 42pg20 that is almost 4 years old. We started having trouble getting it to turn on. It took about 3 trys. It would click blue then click red. It works fine once you get it to turn on. Then it started taking 6 trys then more. Now it will keep clicking the blue light about six times then go to red. Is this the power supply or on/off sensor? What do you think? It has a great picture if we could get it to turn on. It won't come on at all now.
