Sony KV32S40 Flashing Video problems?

I have a Sony KV32S40. ITs seven years old. Just the other day the picture started to flash in and out. Its not like the other problems I've read about in relation to this set though. I have audio no problem. The video just comes on for a little while then it goes black and flashes back on again. My standby light just blinks and blinks forever like 30 some odd times (it was made in June of 99 according to the back of the set.) Anyway, I can't find anything on the internet that has helped me at all! I have no idea where to start. Please help. Anyone!! Please!!!!!

Thanks a bunch

Matt
