Tv won't start. Sanyo LCD TV Dp46849

Hello, so before our tv was half dark then later about after 10 min or so it would be normal. So now the tv won't even start and the green power light goes on and off every few seconds then repeats the cycle.

I am sure there are many threads regarding this set or similar. Read some of them and you will see what information we need to help you. What electronics experience do you have, do you have a multimeter and soldering equipment.

I have a multimeter But I lack the basic knowledge to use it and no soldering equipment. I have checked some forums but I only get the gist of what they're saying. I hope we could do a walkthrough? Or at least a lead to what I should be doing.

Personally I think fixing a TV with no knowledge is a step too far - most people start with monitors or PCs and at least would know how to use their meter.
There is also the problem of working safely - up to 4000vAC in a TV!!
I suggest you start by reading this from post 19. When it mentions a componentlook it up on the internet to see what it might look like and find one in your set.

Download instructions for your meter and test a few things and look for youtube
items on using a multimeter

When you have done that read this thread I know its a 48 but it had the same half dark problem?
