Does anyone knowwhat would cause the above issue and how I could fix it?

yeah. it's broken.

seriously now, you will need to get in there and measure a few
voltages , test a few components and at least give us the chassis
reference if you expect any more detailed help than the above!

Flashing LEDs can mean almost anything, from a dry joint to a
transformer failure, and are not a relaible guide. If I were you, I
would take the set to a local repair place and get a quote, based on
proper diagnosis rather than any internet guesswork. The inside of a
TV is no place to be if you have no electroncis experience.

best of luck.

With Sony TV sets, the number of times that the LED blinks, is generally a
code to refer you to the faulty area. ISTR that 7 flashes indicates a
horizontal deflection failure, so I guess that the first favourite would
have to be the HOP transistor short circuit, although be aware that there
are issues which can cause transistor failure.
