Hi guys hope someone can shed some light on my prob. Have a SP42W5HFX samsung rear projection. Was working fine but when i went to switch it on one day, nothing! It powers up the screen flashes for a split second then the standby light flashes 5 times and thats it Crying or Very sad

Is that some sort of code to tell me whats wrong? Any ideas much appreciated.
Many Thanks

Probably convergence IC's or look for fluid leakage on the boards.

I havent got any picture or sound, I notice alot of covergence problems are down to ic chip but would this be in my case. Is there a way of performing a diagnostic? Why does the light flash 5 times? Anyone know? Thanks
