I got a Samsung LNT3242H LCD TV last September and about 2-3 weeks ago it stopped turning on at random times. Sometimes it would turn on fine, and other times I'd have to unplug and replug and just pray it would turn on.

I have always had problems with it. Whenever I turned it off and tried to turn it back on right away, the indicator light would just blink and shut off completely and I would have to unplug the TV for 20+ minutes to turn it on again.

Now it just flat out doesn't turn it on. The unplug for 10 minutes trick doesn't work anymore. Whenever I plug it back on the indicator light blinks and turns off and the Samsung people said it will take up to 2 weeks to get someone to setup an appointment to fix it.


Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? I don't think there is anything wrong with the power source since the cable box is working fine and it is plugged in to the same surge protector.
