That is an error code. What does the user manual say for that?

Power board inside the LCD or Plasma Tv my friend.

Based on the brand, whatever it is in about three to four years you can expect a tv to do this.
It`s the most common part to fail, because of where the power board is placed in the tv it`s self.

The good new is for most, all you have to do is open the back of the tv up and locate the power board number found on the board it`s self and the tv model number along with the size of the lcd screen it has.

A quick search on e-bay and you can get most from about £20 upwards.
Of course it`s down to you if you think it`s worth fixing.

The cheaper option is to open the tv, look at the power board and look for any faulty capacitors on the power board.
Typically you know when a capacitor is goosed because it is domed on the top, or has a sticky brown fluid leaking out of it.

If you replace the ones that look damaged, there is a good chance it will fix the LCD tv and the screen will work again showing a picture.
For a few new caps depending on the size it will cost you in the region of about £5.
Oh and you need a soldering iron, and be half decent at soldering also.

If your very unlucky depending on the error it can be the inverter board that`s given up on the tv.
They cost a bit more due to them being high voltage parts. Not something you want to mess with.

In fact if memory serves me right 5 blinks are an inverter error on sharp lcd tv`s I think.

On my old InFocus/RCA DLP 61", 5 blinks on the LED specifically meant a burnt out bulb.

Again, consult the users manual.
