I have a Samsung LCD TV (small one for a bedroom) and it has this intermittent problem.

Of an evening i tunr off everything in my PC room at the mains - so next day when i use the pc\tv etc I just turn the mains plug on. Every now and then though the TV doest get any power to it and i cant turn it on.

It doesnt have an on\off button (always in standyby) so its not that - i have tried changing the socket its plugged in (plugged into a multi plug socket thingy if that helps), i know its not the fuse, i have tried removing the power lead from the converter thingy and plugging it back in

any help much appreciated !!

I have a Samsung and i know it sounds stupid but try pressing the TV button on the remote

I couldnt turn mine on abit ago and i thought it was knackered. Turns out the remove was in dvd mode

just tried that and its not that - the problem is the standby light doesnt come on when the power is turned on so i dont think the remote would even communiacate with it

So its probably a fuse onboard reacting to an overload.

Plug the tv into its own socket, preferably one with an antisurge system in place.

think its buggered then or just out to torment me - plugged it into a single socket (not with an antisurge system) and the power light still not working

I can't decide whether or not my Samsung is knackered - last couple of days the BBC audio has cut out a couple of times, and the picture gone blank once or twice.

Football is really odd - players really rough around their edges, blurred, pixalated.

Not sure if that's all a freeview signal problem though, rather than the actual tv itself.
