A few weeks ago I turned my tv off (Model TP2781) as usual, and still have not been able to power it back up. I figure someone here could know the reason.

First of all, if I plug the cord into the wall, the prongs on the plug spark. This happens on any outlet.

Then after the tv is plugged in, and I hit the power button it tries to turn on, but the power light just blinks. There is a sequence to the blinking, and I assume it is indicating some sort of error code.

The light blinks 5 times, and on the 5th time it stays solid for about 3 seconds. Then it repeats the same sequence.

Any help is appreciated.
