I just moved home and just tried to turn on my DLP tv and i get nothing

I only moved about 15 miles and had the tv between a couch and a matress on the moving truck.

Is this thing a goner? II've had it just over a year.

Is there an internal fuse or something? Any idea what it could be?

Its a Samsung DLP HDTV 56" HLR5667W

Do you get a flashing light on the front?

It is either a bad lamp, or bad power supply IMO. There will be costs involved in repairing I'm sure. I hope you have an extended warranty, but it doesn't sound like you do.

I get nothing on the front, no response at all.

And no, no warranty

gimmepilotwings

have you tried connecting the TV directly to the wall socket, and not through a surge protector, as well as different outlets?

If so, you will have to have someone take a look at it.

Solved the problem. The cord had come lose from the back of the TV. Didn't realise it was detachable from the TV, i thought it was like most other tvs where the cord is part of the tv itself.

No crap. I had no idea. Never looked at a Samsung, but detactable power cord. Wow.

If that happened to me but it never did work again I would be so fucking pissed.

If it's not too late, I'd suggest you check into and extended warranty for your set.

I have the Sammy 61 and 42 with ext warr for both of them. It's a little pricey but worth the cost should anything "freaky" but not so easily corrected happen again.
