Blinking Red Power Light

MY RCA L42wd250 will not power up, the power light blinks about 5 times, then pause, the 5 times in recession, When i hit the power button it will not come on,,,I tried unplugging it, then plugging it back up but the power light goes to green then back to blinking red. I uses my cable box remote to turn on and off my TV (Programmed the 3-digit code) because I don't have the remote. How can I get the TV to turn on?
