When I turn the tv on then it stays off, but when I turn it off, the power light comes on then turns off. Sometimes it will finaly come on after trying for about 2 hours.

Sounds like a faulty power inverter to me.
If it's covered under warranty, take it back to where you got it and ask them to cover the warranty for you.
If it's not under warranty, take it to a local electronics repair store that deals with TVs. Get a quote from them on the amount to repair it.
If it exceeds a third the amount you paid for the TV in the first place (ie if the TV cost you $1,200 and the bill exceeds $400) you're better off to get a new TV.

your model uses the 270125 flyback if both wires are red. If one is red and the other black then you have the 259296 flyback.

Hello,
The problem with the television is from inside the unit. It actually is a power problem, and the problem is caused by a bad capacitor, it is developing some fault or wearing out so it is malfuntioning.
What you need to do is to unplug the television for about 2hours or more, then open up the television using a screwdriver to unscrew the screws used in covering it, then remove the back cover and you will have direct access to the panels.
Pick up the main panel and power then assess it thoroughly for any bad capacitors, once you detect a capacitor is swollen, looking out of shape or burnt, then it means the capacitor is bad and needs to be replaced.
To replace a bad capacitor, you need to turn to the back of the panel where you have the tip of all the capacitors, then you melt off the bad capacitors tips using a soldering iron, then you fit in a new capacitor with similar capacity into the holes and solder it to the board usind a soldering iron and lead.
You can also replace the power panel if you find too many capacitors worn out on it.
Take care and good luck.
NB: If you are not familiar with such technical activities, i will strongly advice you seek the assistance of a television professional in order for you not to damage any component inside the unit.

Hello,
The issue you describe is consistent with a power supply board issue. This is the board where the AC goes to.
I do not think it needs replacement, rather some defective capacitors are causing this issue.
Open
unit up and take a look at the power supply board.You will probably see
one or more electrolytic filter capacitors that are bulged up in the
top-not perfectly flat like the others.
The value of these
capacitors will be different, most likely they will be somewhere
around-820 to 2200uF/25 V( or /10V sometimes)
You
can replace them with same values but I would recommend the voltage
rating to be higher(like 35V for an original 25V) for reliability
purposes.
What happens is,these bulged top capacitors will cause a
low and unfiltered DC voltage=main board will malfunction(the relay
will keep clicking until the caps are holding enough charge to bring the
voltage up over a threshold point).
You can buy these capacitors
at any Fry's or Radioshack store or you can order them online at vendors
like "mcmelectronics.com"(look for electrolytic capacitors).
After replacing these capacitor(capacitors) most likely the normal operation will be restored.
Note: There
may be also some other causes for this symptom ,like a defective T con
board ,or main board,but the bulged top capacitors are the most common
cause for this issue.
If you don't know about TV repairers, take
the TV to the nearest repairman to fix the fault for you. Also, note
that TV stores a lot of current, so wait a while before opening the TV
back cover.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.
