Thomson TV Standby Light Flashing

[Ext User(cosmichobo)]

G'day,

What does it mean when my CRT Thomson 66cm Widescreen TV wont turn on,
and the standby light flashes

Yes, it must be pushing 5 years old, which is supposedly old age in
modern electrical equipment, but I'm really hoping to get at least
another 6 months out of this set so I'm out of uni and earning again.

First sign of trouble actually started about 3 months ago. It would no
longer turn on from standby mode. Had to physically turn the power
button off, wait 5-10 seconds, then turn it on.

Today, my fiancée turned the tv on, and within a few minutes it turned
itself off, and then the Standby Light did the abovementioned flashes.
Repeated attempts to turn it on result in the same flashing.

Any advice appreciated.


cheers
