My Sony KV-32FQ86U just died!

Ive had this uptil now fantastic tv for 14 months and my wife was just watching it and she tried to change the channel just for the screen to go blank and it wont turn on anymore!

All that happens is the that standby light on the tv flashes 3 times in sequence. Ive unpluged it for 10min but that didnt make a difference.

Why does expensive hardware always die within a couple months after the warrenty runs out

Anyone know what that specific flashing might mean? Or how much I could be looking at to get it repaired?

THREE Blinks---B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit, check T603 and R672.

You bought a TV with a one year warranty?
