What Does The Six-blink Code Mean On The Standby Led?

What does the six-blink code mean on the standby LED? Set turns on (you can hear the relay click) but no video or audio. Then, about 20 seconds later, another click and the six-blink code starts.

6X blink code is the failure of the back lights. there are florescent lamps and inverter circuits that light up these lamp tubes (these lamps are inside the LCD panel allowing you to see the picture developed by the LCD screen). If either the lamps, the inverters or the power that operates them has a problem then you will get your symptoms. I highly recommend you take this to an authorized service center to have them determine if it can be economically repaired if it's not under warranty.
