That usually means the DLP lamp is defective. Try unplugging the TV from the wall to reset it and if it still does the same thing I would say you need a new DLP chip.

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

Cesar, I found that it won't work if I connect it to a TV that's already on. connecting it before turning on the tv has worked for me.

i guess calling samsung would be the best thing. maybe it may be a power issue. the tv does suck up a lot of power at start up. but then again 5 seconds is a long time. the tv should not take that long to come on let alone buzz

I'm having the same problem and it's intermitent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, I have to turn the TV on and off several times and then it will work. Then sometimes the TV just turns on by itself. We have a Samsung technician coming tomorrow to check it out - hopefully I can post the solution...

Only if your TV doesn't restart. If the lamp was bad (burned out) the picture would not come back, until you replace the bulb.Sometimes the remedy for the TV turning on and off is unplugging the TV and waiting 10 minutes or so to plug back in.

Right out of the box my tv had this problem. I have had it for 3 months and it has buzzed for approximately 5 seconds(until picture becomes visible) every time I turn it on. At first I thought I would be able to deal with it but the more I read about failures down the road, the more I think I am going to return it.

If your picture is dim then a new lamp should make it like new again. It is doubtful anything other than a degraded lamp would cause a dim picture. I wouldn't expect to get a refund if the lamp works. I bought one but really couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if the TV just didn't need a new lamp or that the off brand lamp isn't as bright as an OEM lamp. Personally, I'd stick with OEM Sony parts. They cost more though.

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!

yup i have the same issue apparently its cause of the tv drawing lot of power dur to its fast start up . try plugging it in to the wall direcly ie with no other devices plugged in. i also notice that it only happenes if i have had the tv off for a while eg over nigt and not if it turn it off wait a few mins and turn it on so it must be some thing with the power. i would still call samsung and see whats up.

Mine worked right out of the box without having to use the USB cable for power, it gets it's power from the HDMI cable. I have a great picture & good color. It is possible you defective one, I would try it on another TV getting it's picture from an HDMI cable you can test into this and the video input.

I had this issue with a previous version of the TV. We had service look at it and they replace the logic boards for the TV. Ultimately we replaced the TV on the service contact as a "lemon".

Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

Hi.. I do not have this issue. My TV powers up to the TV picture. I am guessing it's in the start up settings but have not had to deal with it. I responded so you would know that you can change it. this is an awesome TV. Everyone who comes over comments on how great the picture is, so you made a great choice

That sounds like the type of response most TV's have when you have a burnt out bulb, or one that is slow to warm up. I would double check to make sure your bulb is fully plugged into the contacts in the back of the TV and give it another try. It might take a little while for the bulb to warm up initially. If that doesn't work, and your previous bulb did, it might be possible you got a bad bulb, or it was knocked around in shipping.

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!!!
