I have a Sony FD Trinitron model KD-30XS955 that was purchased on 12/23/04.  I began having problems with it not turning on in Jan. 2009.  I called Sony and was directed to follow certain steps, including unplugging and replugging it.  That worked a few times until Nov. 12.  After calling Sony again they said it needs to be repaired.  The phone estimate is from $150-400.  It blinks 6 times, stops for 2 seconds, then blinks 6 times, continuously.  When I try to turn it off, I have to keep clicking the power button until it hits the sequence just right before it will turn off.  I will never buy another Sony TV.  I'm giving this one away and purchasing a new TV (different brand) because it's not worth fixing.
