This incidence is happening more and more often. Previously it happens like every few hours, nowadays it happens every few minutes.
Is this a major problem? Is my tv worth repairing or should I consider getting myself a new one ?

I had a similar problem with my Wega, which is about 8 years old.
It turns out that the flashing standby light is actually a diagnostic system. The sequence of blinks indicates where it has found a fault. See

Oddly, my fault disappeared after christmas..
