I have this tv. The status light stays green, no blinking. But the tv doesn't turn on. Any ideas?

Take a look in the back and see if the lamp is still working. If it's not it's supposedly easily replaceable.Have you had the concave screen problem I've had?

Try unplugging the tv for 10 minutes then plugging it back in and holding the power button for 60 seconds on the tv itself to turn it on. Should hard reset and project.

This exact thing happened to my dad's model D7000 64. It was still under warranty so a tech came out and fixed it. He let him know it was a simple panel (or some sort or faulty component) replacement and the TV was and had been as good as new. Samsung (or any knowledgeable technician) should be able to tell you what you need. Hope this helps... ~JCN

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...

after I installed mine and turned on TV it worked normally so maybe you need to reinstall as may not be seated properly. If that's not it must have other problems

i have a different model but similar issue- the color was only black and white. the green is a shared port so use it as yellow and go in to the settings - go to options then down to input options. then go to AV input and change the setting to VIDEO. I bought a tv and the online trouble shooter said bad tv so I ordered another and it did the same. this time I called support and they helped

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

I no my tv did that when the bulb went bad. You might want to reinstall the bulb and make sure it is connected properly. If that does not work I think you have bad bulb. 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

@Dj M: It sounds like you either have dead or "hot" pixels. This means the pixel will by change colors or remain "black" or "white". While the TV may function normally, the damaged pixel will not function correctly ever. I would contact Amazon.com and get an exchange or refund on the unit as it arrived damaged (you have 30 days to get a full refund).

I returned it. The second identical TV that I ordered at the same time does not have the problem so I hope that the replacement being shipped to me is also okay. Thanks for letting me know that someone else has the same issue. Herberto

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.

After a power outage at our house, our TV picture began to freeze up when first turned on. We would have to restart it several times before normal functioning returned. I realize this is not your specific problem, but maybe you had a power surge that affected the electronics. Or maybe these TVs just last 3-4 years.

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,

Hi I have trouble with my unit. I dont think its a TV problem. I only get a snowy screen and the sound is in slow motion. The batteries seems okay with a meter check. Anyone else have this problem?

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

My first tv came with empty ports. I called amazon and had them replace it. I had that relaxed in 48 hrs, since then I have had no issues and love it. Send it back and get a replacemnt

Did u try to update it ? When I first got mine , it would turn off then come back on again . Then I updated it and it stopped . Go to the samsung web site and go to tv updates . Then see if you have the latest firmware . If not , contact Samsungs costumer service . I hope this helped you out . I'm still enjoying my set .
