Video problems & blinking light code
I have a neighbor whose TV picture went dead. I looked at it: first time I turned it on, green light blinked 7 times. Next time I tried it, it blinked 5 then shut off. I can hear the hum-click of the tube warm-up when I hit the power button. I tried both remote & panel button to make sure it wasn't that. We unplugged it for about 10 min (while removing the rear panel) then turned it on again to see. It blinks 5 times. I saw no visual evidence of damage (there had been a couple lightening storms). There actually wasn't even much dust back there. He said he bought it around 2000 or 2001 and it's been getting progressively harder to turn it on. He had unplugged it before and replugged it in and it worked again up until now. No one but me will go to their house to fix the thing and I need some help, please!
