I have a TV (Sharp LC-32SB24U) and the power light just blinks. I've reset the TV and from what I read on the internet this is protection mode due to bad backlight bulbs (not the inverter from what I've read) and I was wondering if anyone has any information on how to replace the backlight bulbs and where I may obtain them? Thank you in advance for any info and Happy Thanksgiving 
I read this (below) on a website that describes exactly what my tv is doing and this is what lead me to believe its the backlight bulbs. I dont see any swollen caps or burnt spots on the ac board.
"It has gone into self protect mode, this is usually due to a bad backlight bulb. To verify, hold power and input buttons down together for about 10 seconds, until the flashing green changes to steady. Then press power button if needed to turn on. Look at the screen for a discolored or dim area as a horizontal stripe. It will only run for a few seconds like this. The problem is not in the supply board but in the bulbs themselves."
