    Apparently the 7 flashes is not really a diagonostic code. It means that the TV is detecting something wrong with your power, and that it is shutting down for safety reasons.

    Try plugging the TV into another outlet. Also ensure that the grounding is good, using a tool purchased at a hardware store.

    If you are using a power bar, remove it and plug it directly to the ac outlet.

    You can also unplug the TV for about 2 hours, and then try again.

    Take a look here for a solution. Looks like you may need to take it in for a new chip.
