There is a failure in the power source - if you're lucky it will be a bad contact, if not, most likely, a failed capacitor. In either way the replacement parts will be very cheap, the bulk of the pay will go to the repairman. It shouldn't cost you more than $200 so i say: keep the tv and fix it.
Most likely in your case is a bad contact. If you aren't afraid you could take the back case off and reseat all connectors (with the tv unplugged of course).
