My sanyo 32" tv won't come on but it's flashing a red light 5 times how do I fix this?

SOURCE: Sony KDF-E55A20 55 in. LCD... Problem red light flashes 5 times

A 5 blink error indicates a bad lamp driver. However a lamp may possibly cause this too. I suggest putting a new lamp in if you have one just to verify the lamp is not the problem. If it still fails with a new lamp then the lamp driver is the problem. This part should be replaced by a Sony authorized servicer. The lamp can be replaced easily by you. The lamp replacement instructions are in the TV's owners manual. Good Luck

It is the lamp ballast.

SOURCE: 5 red flashs on power/standby light on kdsr60xbr1 screen blank,

Thats the error for lamp driver error. Which means the Ballast is most likely defective. You can get the replacement ballast for your model at the following link which comes with installation instructions.

SOURCE: TV popped and shut off red light flashes 5 times then pauses

this specific type of TVs flash their standby light if the onboard testing system sniffed out a problem

so, as if your TV is trying to tell you "i have a problem and i need to be serviced"

i hope it goes well for you
:D
