My tv symptom is not listed. What about completely dead... no power indicator light, does not show any sign of life?

My symptoms were not exact as well, the only thing that was working on my TV was the back light. I figured why not for 10 bucks. Have you looked at them, some of my caps were bloated and leaking so i figured that was the problem, still going to this day.

There is a service bulletin out for this tv. I just had mine fixed by best buy under warrantee. The motherboard and the cable going to it short out and cause this issue. It will slowly get worse. Service bulletin ASC20130429001

I would remove the internal rechargeable battery and unplug the power, after first shutting off the power switch on the tv. Put the battery back in and turn it on, see what happens.

I would try a different input, such as a component cable. Something like that happened to my other TV. My house was struck by lightening and it traveled through the TV cable. Destroyed the cable box and the HDMI ports on my TV. It's the only thing I can think of, other than a repairman.

Mine appeared to be DOA. No signs of life. No LEDs lit. Even using the enclosed software for discovery, my PC did not recognize that anything was attached. I gave up. I meant to return it but forgot.I am quite experienced and, so far, no device that actually works has been able to defeat me, so this must be a dud.

I actually found this on another forum post and it makes me feel much better that at least samsung is recognizing the problem to some extent. I really hope this means they do have a fix for it otherwise why would they post pictures of the problem and say your TV needs service right?http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?isARS=Y&SITE;_ID=1&AT;_ID=137885&ARS;_ID=8957980Just waiting to hear from someone that their TV was actually fixed. Thanks again,

I don't recall. TV lasted roughly 4 months and then died. Wouldn't suggest.

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. So the display is not working at all? No blue light? If so, there is definitely something wrong. I will send you a message to discuss replacement.

yep, my Samsung HDTV LN46a50 started power cycling after the warranty expired. Looked up the issue and was *stunned* at how global this problem is and how Samsung isn't doing anything about it. Opening up mine, it indeed was the capacitors that had blown. A quick trip to radio shack for the correct capacitors for a grand $4 total (I already own a soldering iron and solder) and an hour later I had a perfectly working unit again. I will never buy another Samsung product and encourage others that I know to do the same.

Maybe try re-installing? Also note, this is a projection TV....not best visibility in direct sunlight. Mine is often dark in my bright living room during daytime hours.

May ask for a refund due to that it was only a month ago. When I replace our TV Lamp we got a good lamp for the TV and still working today. I think they may have send a bad lamp they should send you a lamp for free and give your money back due to information you give me for good customer service. Sorry to hear that. Here is a customer number for amazon live person to talk to U.S. and Canada: 1-866-216-1072Spanish Support: 866-749-7538

Try resetting the "replaced lamp setting" on your tv again, maybe you dont actually need to replace the bulb. I would definitely get ahold of the manufacturer to make them aware of it, they might be open to replacing it so soon after the 90 day warranty.

Mike just had repair guy tell me my blue led is gone. Was your tv no picture at all when it was down for blue led issue. Just wondering if mine might be more than the blue led bulb.

I had the same thing happen. From the internet surfing I did, I assumed the unit was dead. Sorry.

I bought a bulb and it went out a short time after as well.but I replaced the whole TV instead of trying to fight the tv. I didn't try to warranty the bulb. Sorry this doesn't help
