I have a blinking power light (w/black screen) problem. I was using my computer at the time that this happened, and the monitor went black, the same as if I was shutting the computer down. The screen went black, a white rectangular appeared with the words "No Video", then went completely black again. The only difference between this, and a regular shut down, was that the blue power light was flashing. When I turn the power button off,,,,,and then back on,,,,it goes through the same process, black screen to "no video" message, and then back to black screen with flashing power light. I'm not a repairman, but with the help (and patience) of PlainBill and others, I did manage to repair two LCD TV's in the past. The first thing I did was separate the case and look at the caps, they all look "visually" good, and are "the elite" caps. I already read the posts on "blinking power light" (and read how "elite" PlainBill thinks elite caps are) and "two seconds to black", but not sure where my problem lies. I haven't yet looked at the bottom of the boards nor taken any pictures,,,,,,,that will be my next step. I'm just writing this as a warning to PlainBill that "I'm back" and hoping that you guys can "work your magic again. I'm going to take pics and look at the bottom of the boards tomorrow,,,,,,,in the meantime,,,,,,I'm ALL EARS if you have any suggestions..................I'll try to follow your instructions! Thanks again!
