Power light blinks 5 times on SXRD™ Rear Projection TV KDS-55A2020

My 55-inch SXRD Rear Projection TV powered off all of a sudden. When I try to turn it on now, the power light blinks green as though it is warming up but then it shuts off and the power light blinks 5 times repeatedly. Someone has suggested that this may be the light ballast but I would like to be able to confirm this before spending $100. Also, I cannot find this part in new condition so any hints there would also be helpful!

Thanks!!

Michael Lauritzen blinks 5 times is indicative of a faulty lamp driver is faulty. The symptoms of this are no picture or sound. Before replacing the ballast, replace the lamp.

carmen doucette if you replaced the bulb but still have the 5-blink then it is likely a faulty lamp driver. You may have to replace the ballast.
