Blink 
Code

Verify that all the cables on the SC board are properly seated. Also 
check the ribbon cables and connectors on the A and C boards. 
Unplug the TV and disconnect connector SC20 on the SC board. 
Plug in the TV. 

Note:

If the power LED does not turn on automatically 

after the TV is plugged in as expected, then press the power switch.

Is the power LED 

blinking 6 or 8 

times?
