Thanks for your time,

I have a Toshiba 32HLC56 that did the same thing. It's called "2 seconds to black." Info can be found here:

My problem ended up being a bad transformer on the inverter board. I could have replaced the transformer but instead I found a used inverter board on eB*y for the price of one brand new transformer so I just swapped boards. Your problem could be as simple as mine or something more involved. Maybe someone with your make and model can give you more info.
