Thanks for the service manual but I can't get them because you have to login and they are taking new members ...

What the difference between the LX and HL in the model numbers ????
How hard was your to fix and is there anything I should check or look out for ???

Just wait for the "get file" link in absolutely tiny writing to appear.

It looks like they use the same power supply module. The one I fixed as shown in the link has just one bad IC for the 12V power supply.

Well I repair the IC but it didn't work at first ... But when I held the power down for some time and then released and then tried to turn it back on again it would light right up with no problems and will continue to work flawlessly .. But if I remove the power and plug it back in again the system automatically restarts and give me the 3 blinks but when I hold the power it works fine and never shows a fault after that ??

The 3-blink when first power is applied is the self test mode, it can take up to 30 seconds which it will make you think it is an error code, it is just doing the self test. My set blinks for 15 seconds then the LED turn blue.
