Light flasher will not stop flashing.

most likely buttons on front panel are going bad.

Unplugged the TV and removed and reinstalled each connection. Don't know why but it was enough to resolve the issue.

THESE SETS ARE BAD ABOUT THE KEYS ON THE KEYBOARD STICKING--I POSTED MAYBE A CURE FOR THIS ...READ IT TUNICA

It sounds like a stuck button or switch. What happens when you hit the channel DOWN, does it still keep scrolling down?
Is this with or without the remote?
Have you tried it with the remote and or the TV?

Let me know whether you are changing the channels with the remote or the buttons on the tv and I can try to give you a couple more suggestions.
Mac =)

Had the same problem, channels would not stop scrolling.
It was as though someone had there finger on the channel up button.
Disconnected the sixth wire, starting with the black wire on the wiring harness for the front buttons, on/off, ch. up/down, vol. up/down, etc.
It works fine, no more unwanted channel surfing!!
