Really, with the prices so low now and the technology getting so much better all the time, 5 years is a loooong time to keep a TV. I'd just get a new one. I am really happy with my Panasonic. Just do not buy Westinghouse, they are real crap and the Better Business Bureau has them rated F for lack of service on warranty repairs.
take it to the shop and it will be atleast 40 bucks for them to open it up and see whats wrong with it. not to mention that the labor costs tho fix the thing hell just buy a new set you'll be better off in the long run.
