red blinking standby - Blu-ray Forum

hey guys, i think my sony lcd just broke. i had the tv for alil over two years and was watchin it earlier today. tonight i went to turn it on, the green power light came on then went to a blinking red standby light. anybody ever experience this? i looked in manual, and it said tv may need to be serviced. im so pissed, never had any problems with sony before and theres no reason a 2 yr old tv should be dead already. i gotta call tomorrow to find out how much this will cost(no warrenty) prob be easier to just go buy a new tv. damn you sony! any suggestions?

Have you tried unplugging the TV for at least 60 seconds and then plugging it back in. Try doing that then I would call Sony.
