I found this post (down below)yesterday after searching all day to find someone with the same problem as I have. Most of the posts describe a green blinking light and that was not what mine is doing.My 5 year warranty (annual cleaning and service) with Circuit City here in Calif was only used for 2 years because they went out of business. The last 3 years of the warranty were handled by an independant Tech who not only cleaned my unit but adjusted the picture which I did not know you could do.
When I found what I think the problem is I called this tech up and described the symptoms. He came back saying what he needs to fix it is what you will read down below. I can afford his quote of $350 because I am in the middle of the NBA playoffs and cant wait.I also called him back to tell him about running the error codes by pressing menu/device for 5 seconds and I got the blink blink pause 5 times which he said is error code 22 verifying this problem. If after this something goes wrong it will be time to buy something with newer technology. So for now I can start educating myself on what to buy next while I roll the dice on this repair.
I also told him about the dried up material between the two capacitors and he said the manufacturer put sealant there too hold the capacitors from getting damaged. I carefully cleaned all the dust out everywhere and looked at all the capacitors and didnt find any that were swollen or puffed up. I took the DM module out and the 7 capacitors looked fine so lets hope I get a few more years before the wheels fall of the bus. This will be the first repair I have had to pay for since I bought the TV in 2003.I will write a reply when the repair is finished. Thanks for everyones help thus far. This is a great site This is the post I found down below dated ---> November 13, 2007 6:01 PM
