wont turn on red light just flashes?
On my samsung flat screen tv when you are watching the televison there is no red light on the power button but when you turn the television off the red light stays on all the time? what can I do to turn this light off?

SOURCE: Power light blinking red

The tv is NOT in standby mode... it does not have a standby mode !!! But what is happening is.. your tv is getting lamp errors. this can be caused by voltage drops and spikes while the tv is on... and a factory reset can correct this. OR it can be one of two problems.. Bad Power supply or defective lcd panel.

Your LCD has gone bad or their is a high voltage problem that powers the LCD. Usually a inverter board.

After about 5 years the Samsung LCD televisions backlight fails which prevents the TV from coming on and the powerlight just flickers the backlight can be changed but it is often alot easier and cheaper to buy a new Television
