Television and Home Theater

I purchased this tv in 2004, it just quit working I am also getting 6 blinks.  I had a tech come out and tell me the transformer is bad, he charged me 125.00 to come out and diagnose the problem.  I was looking around and the part is only 70.00 is this something i can do myself.  What all is involved or can anyone email me the manual to replace this part.  I have a tester and would also like to know based on the other post should I also replace the HVB as well.

Hey, I am having issues with the bulb in our new tv, it is less then a year old and have replaced bulb once, and awaiting a second replacement. we are wonding if this is a common issue, should we sell it and get somewthing better before bulb goes a third time?

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with my television (KP-51WS520). I am getting 2 blink pause for 3 seconds and repeat. I have found the service manual online and have been going through the circuit testing componets as suggested suggest around the D board. From what I gather Q5001 and Q5201 are shorted. Does anyone have suggestions or experianced this specific problem on how to resolve this issue. I have some electronic background so I am giving repairing the TV a shot. Its that or put it out on the curb. I figured make it a learning experiance.
