My tv may have been struck by lightning. This morning, when I try to power it on, it comes up with a greyish black screen and the audio, then shuts off and turns back on, at first with audio only, then the audio stops, and the screen is a solid color (first couple of times red, most recently green), and all three buttons on the front light up. I changed the color wheel out myself about a year ago, and have had no problems with it since then. Any thoughts?

If there was a lightening strick then it is possible that there can be multiple damage on the main board and this can cause many faults to be seen.
So inspect the main board using a good lamp and magnification glass to confirm the track burn out. If so there is a confirmed failure on many sections and will need tracing with a manual.
It will be good to take an estimate on the damage and confirm.

Unfortunately, lightning may have damaged your equipment beyond simple fixes. Most likely the sensitive circuits inside are blown, and you may need to replace them all.

Struck by lightning and won't power up

WOW!
Warranty voider there.
Hate to see a $1,000 TV go down the toilet.
If your lucky, you can try checking the fuses inside the TV.
The lightning may have taking out only your power supply board, shopjimmy.com may have replacements for about $100. But, I can't tell you for sure that will fix the problem.
You may have to take to a repair shop to find out for sure.
Good Luck

TV struck by lightning

Looks like the flyback (high voltage transformer and probably the majority of the power board is kaput. It would be cheaper and probably worth your while to invest in a new TV rather than try to fix this one..
