Standby light blinks, but picture and sound don't come on...

maybe you set it in freeze mode or timer.... the blinking reason mostly is for freeze and standby mode.... try to rest your program in tv.

Hi,
Is is standby light blinking red or any other light? Let me know how many times red standby light blinking after three seconds long pause to provide you helpful info.
It seems pop sound was due to broken lamp, please check lamp inside tv and if it is broken, replace it to solve tv problem.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

go to turn tv on,hear a poping noise,once then tv standby lite blinks 3 times repeatily but no picture or audio.can you help me out with this thank you

The color wheel needs replacing. Thats causing the whining and it will also make the lamp light blink.

Since the TV is still receiving power, the problem is going to be with the TV's mainboard.  After you unplugged the TV and plugged it back in, you said the power light went out again, so I assume the standby light wasn't flashing again?  The flashing standby light is indicating an error code so my suggestion is to contact Sony for service options regardless if there is a warranty or not because service is the only solution to this situation.  Don't forget to provide them the error code or 4 flashes repeating.

What is the make and model number of your set? I can help you but I need that info, So I know where to start.

samsoung tvs are the absolute best

Please provide Make, Model and month & year built on back
of set........................thanks................................T.

You may have a bad convergence... short will shutdown your HV circuitry leaving just audio?
It has no bulb to change?
