Sony Bravia Standby Problem?

Question

My Sony HDTV lcd 1080p V-series tv just stopped working. Every time I open it, it goes on standby mode. It opens and shows the tv with video and sound for like a second. Then it just goes to standby. It blinks 13 times while in standby mode then stops and goes back into blinking. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Since it's an LCD, I believe the lamp needs to be replaced every few years or certain number of hours.  Have you had a lamp replacement yet?
