Dont Turn On, Just The Little Red Light Binks

I have a RCA Model L42WD250YX1, this morning it wont come on, just the little red light blinks.  I unplug it and plug it back up and come on, but after a few seconds it will go back to the little red light and start to blink.  I own the TV for about 6 years and never have to do anything to it.

I don't have the exact same model, but I had just aquired a l42wd22 LCD and the red light blinked five times, then went out, then blinked five times over and over.  If yours is like mine, then you have some bad capacitors on the power supply section of your TV.  It's a fairly easy fix for a technician, but not for someone who doesn't work on electronics.  I work as a tech for a telecommunications repair company, so I have some experience with repairing things like this.
