If you have the TV connected to a cable box( I have Comcast) you may be having a problem that has happened to me on occasion. Try selecting a different channel and the picture may come back. If the red light in the lower right corner does not blink when you turn the TV on then you might have a power issue. Beyond those simple steps I don't know what else you can do. Find your owners manual and see if there is a troubleshooting guide.

Yes. No sound no picture it is probably time to replace the bulb and housing. Check owners manual and make sure you get the right bulb and housing. If that was problem you will have a new TV.

I can't help you with this one Scott. Mine is somewhat slow to go from dark screen to the picture coming on, but it has the best picture I have ever had on any TV I have ever owned.

I have had mine for 2 days now, instead of hitting reset button to make it work, turn on tv's first before , example blue ray player, this will work without hitting reset button

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.

I don't have any problems with mine. The TV may draw too few electricity to keep the controlled outlets active. Try with a different appliance such as a table lamp on the main. If that fails then you may have a defective unit.

Hi, my friend bought her tv (save model KDL-46VL150) from a dealer around here and since january 15, 2010 has not been able to listen to it. It worked about 10 days, then a red flashing light came on et OFF went the TV. If I were you, I would return that model number. They all seem to have the same problem and unless you have bought from Costco the other dealers won't take it back (they sent you back directly to Sony who sent's you a repairman. And Sony is sure not in a hurry to fix it. She is still waiting for the repairman even after numerous phone calls and complaints. Check the web and see others that have the same problem. Good luck.

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.

Mine is a larger tv but had the same problem. While replacing the bulb, I noticed that the color wheel was in pieces. I replaced both & the picture is ok now. There are plenty of instructions on the net. Tip: wear gloves. I got a bad cut from sharp metal. Good luck.

Yes, press the power button on the tv for 30 seconds and then release. Your tv will come back on.

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.

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.

We've had the same issue. The TV (which we've had since January '08) had been doing that for 2-3 months. And, it's taken longer and longer to come on. It would make a clicking sound and the small red lights on the right side would go on and off alternately with the light on the "on" button at the base of the TV. Yesterday, it took more than 5 minutes to turn on. Then, today, it stuck in the clicking mode and wouldn't come on at all. We completely unplugged the TV and left it unplugged for several minutes--hoping that when we plugged it back in that it would be in the "off" mode. Instead, it's continued in its clicking mode for nearly an hour, now. Fortunately, we have the extended warranty. And, a repairman is coming here this Thursday to determine what's wrong.

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...

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 .
