I have found that the TV will not come on if plugged into the surge protector with the rest of my equipment (5 other items) Normal or a problem?

I typically plug several devices into the same surge protector with no problems. Your problem may be with your surge protector's load capacity. Hope this helps.

Great Tv, I am very happy with the colors and performance of it. It looks great on my wall

Mine is plugged into a surge protector with other items, and it works just fine. I would not guess that that should be happening. Perhaps you have a bad section of the surge protector. I'd try moving the items around on the surge protector and seeing if that helps. But, that shouldn't be happening.

That's normal. I called the company about that because the TV would turn off. It needs to be plugged directly into the wall outlet.

My uneducated guess is that the other devices are affecting the computer in the tv.

I didn't have one. Sounds more like a power strip to me. I had the same equipment, each on its own adapter, outlet. I didn't have surge protection, it an was fine but could have been luck of the draw. If you want added peace of mind, then get it.

Hey Doc, not really answering the question but I'm in the same exact situation as you with the TV. How is yours holding up? Thanks!

Mine is on as well. I expect Steakman is correct and this just means surge protection is active.

I installed mine, cleaned dust out of compartment and repluged tv and worked perfect. I would unplug tv and remove light housing and reinstall I believe thats what I did, now that I think about it. Remember keep lamp clean. Good luck, I still have set works fine.

yes, you are going to need to take it in to a repair shop. If you do a search on the internet you will find many others that have had this problem. TV's now days don't get repaired in the true sense. complete boards are just replaced

I have lost 2 televisions due to lightning strikes thru my cable service and one thru the power outlet. Since then I have taken the precaution of purchasing Uninterruptible Power Supplies for my TV's, VCR's, DVD players', game systems', PC's and my surround audio system, and quality surge protectors for everything else. But I have never had a problem with lightning passing between my devices and the televisions'. However, I have heard it can happen. If the jolt/surge is strong enough it will fry the wiring. Unless you know for sure this has happened to your cable it should be fine but know that wires and cables will go bad over time because they age. If you cannot get a signal between your components, try using another cable. If this cures the problem, then you know that the cable is bad and you should toss it away. I hope this helps.

I bought this for the same exact reason and it didn't work, I had an hdtv worth component out and this didn't work. Someone told me that I would need a powered one, dunno, sold my old tv and bought a new flat screen..problem solved.lol

I have electrical and some electronics background. I don't believe a new cord is your answer. It sounds like an internal problem with the tv. If the tv works fine after plugging back in until turning it off, then it's not the cord. By unplugging and plugging back in you are basically rebooting the tv that is failing to do it itself after turning it off. If this is the case, you would need to take it to a repair shop. I hope this helps you.

It sounds more like the signal source is the problem. If it was within the TV circuitry, all channels would be affected. ihave had no trouble with my TV and it stays at the top of the technical world.

Make sure you put the cover of the TV back on (closes a circuit as a safety measure) - otherwise your TV won't turn on.

I had this problem, too. But the manual should state "if the television's POWER is plugged into the back of the cable box." Alas, the TV is three-pronged and the cable box only has a two-prong outlet. I used the function on the cable remote to accomplish this, it's just a little slow to react.

sounds like you may have to send it back, but you can at least plug in another power supply, or test the units power supply on another 5 volt system, just to see what is broken. I have mine plugged into one of the USB ports on my TV, that way it powers off with the TV so I don't see a power light, it must be on the power supply it self. maybe moving it to another outlet might help to isolate the problem, just in case it was the outlet, saving you the trouble of sending it back. Good Luck!

Hey, I had the same problem with an LN55C650 and even with a new panel it did it. So the tech got on the phone and called and was told about the service bulletin and cut jumper number p854 on the 55" and that fixed it. So the new panel came back out but I got my tv fixed. Yay!!!

Hi,If there are no devices connected to the surge protector, the Protected light would be off. It would just turn on if there are some devices connected to it. However, if there are no lights are turned on from the surge protector even though there are devices connected to it then it means that there's a problem with the surge protector.Thanks,Belkin Supporthttp://www.belkin.com/us/support

Yes, I did! On the short side, where the power plug goes in, there is a half-moon shaped hole with nothing in it. My tv screen is rolling and I think the dip switches are supposed to be in the hole, so I could switch to NTSC. Do you have the rolling screen problem too?

Have not had that problem. Our TV is in the basement and isn't used a whole lot though - no issues as of yet. I suppose time will tell...
