RCA HD50LPW175 no pic, no sound

I have a RCA HD50LPW175 that has no picture or sound. It is getting power because the indicator lights go on. I tried changing the bulb, but that didn't work. When I turn it on, the indicator lights come on I hear a whirr and a click. After a little bit the lights will turn off and then flash five times. Then the set will shut off completely. If I try to turn it back on it will do the same things over.

that could be a problem with your color wheel.
Since your color wheel is not working properly that's why it shuts down. Your TV cant complete the "turning on" cycle.

Thanks Jake!

Just so you know, I tried to turn it on a day later just for kicks....and the silly thing worked! So far it's working OK, but I'm not holding my breath. It's been buggy since day one.

Now if I could only stop it from continuously adding garbage channels.....
