Sony Grand Wega Kdf-e42a10 Power/stand-by Light Blinks Red 6 Times

The power/stand-by light blinks green 2 times, then red 6 times. There's a pause, then the red light continues to blink 6 times, pause, and blink 6 times. This is continuous. We were hoping it was just the lamp, but the error has continued after replacing that part. We've read it could be the thermal fuse or the power board. Is here any way to know for sure? We're hoping to fix this quickly, and ourselves. If we're unable to, do you have an idea on the cost of repair service?
