Help! Toshiba DLP TV won't turn on!

Can't Post

I have the Toshiba 52HM94 DLP TV and this morning it wouldn't turn on. I just used it yesterday evening and it was working fine. It's still under warranty (had it about 11 months), so I called Toshiba and they gave me the names of 2 service centers in my area so someone could come look at it. One of them won't come to my house (too far they say) and the other is closed for the holidays until 1/3/06. Ugh! Given that I'm entertaining at my house twice in the next week, I really would like it to be fixed sooner rather than later. Anyway, I'm hoping someone on here might have some ideas. The green LED on the front of the TV blinks about 3 times in 3 seconds and then goes off for 1-2 seconds before repeating this sequence. The red LED is completely off. This pattern of light blinking does not match any of the scenarios described in the troubleshooting section of the TV's manual. When I try to turn on the TV, it does absolutely nothing (regardless of whether I'm using the remote or pressing the button on the front of the TV). About the only unusual thing I've noticed is that the fan/motor that constantly runs even when the TV is turned off, now runs for about 10-15 seconds, shuts down for about a second, and then turns back on. I've never noticed it doing that before. I've tried unplugging the TV and resetting it - no luck. [I'm pretty sure it's not the lamp b/c a) I haven't used the TV for nearly the number of hours of a lamp's life span and b) the Toshiba guy said if it were the lamp, the TV would try to come on and then would provide some codes on the screen.] Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
