My 43” Vizio did the flash and die thing when it was new. I was just getting ready to pack it back to the store but I plugged it in one more time and it restarted.
It has done it a few times in the past 10 years always coming back in a few minutes with no action from me.
Today it was out for a few hours, I took the back off to look for anything obvious and dust it out. Still nothing. I reseated the connectors, still nothing.
About two hours later it came back to life.
So if nothing else be patient! Of course it could still be dieing but a new TV wouldn't make me sad.

No power indicator light comes on by itself then shuts off then the only thing that power indicator light comes on and your master power button then goes off

Mine is white n no matter what I’ve done, it continues to flash, then stops, repeat. I’ve done everything suggested except the silver cyclinder thing which I don’t have.
