I've had a XG110LC in storage in my house for about 3 years now while I've bounced back and forth between Ohio and USVI. Last fall I turned it on, checked it out and all was good. Unplugged it, covered it and went to VI.
Got back to Ohio few weeks ago. This past week I got it out to check as I'm finally in a position to start the home theatre project, and, of course, it didn't work. Powers up for about 10 seconds, then cuts out for about 10 seconds. This cycle continues for about 5 cycles, then nothing. On the back, it is flashing F4 and F6. Can't find a code list in manuals.
Anyone have any ideas what's up? Maybe loose cards? Or am I looking at a power problem?
Any help is appreciated.

Definitely an oddball problem, but check to see if a tube neck has snapped. that can throw weird error messages and shut the set down. Also check to make sure all three tube filaments are lit. If they are, then the tubes are fine, and we need to look elsewhere.

Thx Curt, I'll pop the top and take a look & get back to you. It is weird, unit hasn't been moved, just plugged in and unplugged. Regards, Van
