We have model# KV-40XBR800, and ours just recently started having similar problems, the tv will no longer turn on the standby light just keeps flashing, we bought ours I believe in 98 or 99 and paid well over a thousand for it, we are not sure if we are going to have it repaired or not, we were told to unplug it for awhile and then try it which did work once and that was it. This will be the second repair the first though being covered under warranty. I really like the picture on this tv but a flat screen is sounding better every minute. KrisJ
