I went to servicemanuals.net and downloaded the complete service manual for this TV and found that 8 blinks means you need to check out the Panasonic-txnss1rltu-ss-board which I have had to replace once before on this set. I have found further that this item is prone to short life as a result of inadequate ventilation problems. Anyway, the part I need was easy enough to find in the service manual and ShopJimmy has it for about $43. So my problem is solved now.

The red LED blinking 8 times is an error code for the service technician. There is nothing you, the consumer , can do to remedy this problem. Your set will have to be brought in to an authorized Sony repair center.

I have a Plasma TV with black screen and 6 red light flashes.

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Set will not power on.. Blinks red LED 8 times

It's a power supply related problem.
The flashing 8 times is a trouble code. A Service Manual for your TV model will have the info on the codes. It could be a bad capacitor or a transformer on the power supply board.If you have some electronic experience, you can find a Service Manual for your TV over the internet. Cost about under $20.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

Tv cuts off and green light flashes

If your set was manufactured around July 2005, you may need a firmware upgrade to solve this issue. On the Sony website you can enter your model # and serial # to see if you TV is affected. If so, it is easy to have done and may be free from Sony. It sounds like the issue they described in the writeup on the required formware update. I had mine done within few months of when i bought it (purchased in Dec 2005) and it has been working flawlessly since.

Good luck!
