Blinking Light for WS6509

Our TV will no longer turn on.  The light just blinks and you can hear a relay in the back click, but nothing turns on. 

We were watching a movie and when we switched back to Satellite, everything turned off and we were not able to turn it back on.  We tried to reset it several times, but that did nothing.    

Any help is greatly appreciated......

That's a good number. Try to

That's a good number. Try to unplug the unit and see if the green light stops blinking after a minute or so. If not, that's an indication that the DM board is not communicating with the microprocessor IC. It may need new capacitors in the DM board. If you are handy and can solder on printed circuit boards there is a repair that you can try. It consist of replacing seven capacitors in this model. If you would like to see the repair and get a copy of the service manual, leave an e-mail address and i will send you a copy of these documents. Good Luck.

The light does blink after

The light does blink after you unplug it.. and last time we checked it stayed blinking for at least 15 minutes after it was inplugged. 

We have checked the 7 caps on the DM board, and they all look good, they did not look bubbled or blown up.

 Do you have any other suggestions?

You have to replace them,

You have to replace them, they could still be bad.

We replaced all the caps but

We replaced all the caps but the TV is still not turning on.  It's no longer showing the blinking light, however when we try to turn it on, we can hear a relay click and then it turns right back off. 

 Any thoughts??

 Thanks
