Have seen similar problems like described in other sets due to caps that leaked electrolyte due to a power surge. I too thought it was a bad flyback, but there was HV or at least some of it partially at times when the set was attempted to power up. The flashing LED is a common association with the bad caps too. Look for swelled domes on electrolytics, or green residue on the negative leeds on the electrolytics around the flyback, and the STR regulators (if any) in this set. Additionally , turn over the PCB, and on the foil , look for BLACK discoloration on the foil. If you find any, I bet it corresponds with the negative leeds on an electrolytic. If any cap looks like it has leaked electrolyte , replace it of course. This set you have is too new for the caps to have dried out so quick. Power surges, lightning storms etc tend to make SMPS electrolytics 'pee' or leak out the electrolyte when the AC line frequency becomes erratic or unstable.

When power is pushed I hear a couple clicks and then sounds like it is going to come then goes into shut down and the front led blinks 5 times. I have checked diodes and caps but have found no bad parts. Does anyone have a service manual or any other tips on this model?
