Picture appears to be trying to scramble

TV is in protect mode because of an internal error,

Try unplugging power cable for ten minutes.

If it does not clear the error , then you will need a technician.

Call factory to check if you can get an extended warranty.

Check to see if your credit card offers extended warranty. That's why I buy EVERYTHING on an American Express card, which adds 1 year of warranty beyond the manufacturer's on everything you buy.

These devices are disposable, and HP is particularly fragile. I wouldn't buy another HP product. When you decide to replace this, you'll be a lot happier with Canon or Epson.

My friend bought a Poloroid tv, similiar to yours. The power supply went bad 2 weeks after warranty expired; he had to pay to have a whole new power supply installed - roughly $250. Two weeks later my Toshiba (same age) won't turn on - no lights or anything. Same thing - power supply. Sounds like yours is in the same category. Hopefully you bought the extended warranty.

probably blew the power supply board, very common problem. call 1-800-samsung, if warranty expired recently,and you complain about it they will probably extend the warranty for this problem.

my swisstec tv had exactly the same problem this week march 30th and the 12 month warranty expired.....i went to skymediauk online and extended my warranty ..free for 3 months they collected it,fixed it and returned it in 46 hours

Hello,

All too often, extended and third party warranties are not honored as they should be. Some are even totally worthless. The general plan of a lot of third-party warranties is to hold the customer off until the warranty expires, and then deny it. If this was an extended warranty through the Rex store, then consider talking to a lawyer as soon as possible. One letter from an attorney may be all it takes. Or even the threat of going to an attorney is enough some times. It is a legally binding agreement that expires, so once it is up, they will almost certainly deny your claim.

Almost all extended warranties have a time frame for repair, and more specifically replacement! If they cannot repair the TV within a certain amount of time, then they should replace it.

I hope this helps you...

If this set is still within the warranty period, return it for warranty service. Since this is an intermittant problem, I would request an exchange. If they won't exchange the set (even after going up the chain of management), provide specifics about the problem. State up front that this is an intermittant problem. Once reported, the warranty kicks in even if the problem doesn't become hard and fast until after the warranty has expired since the initial report occurred before the warranty expiration. This is not a problem caused by external devices.

I would contact the warranty because if you even take 1 screw out you will void your warranty, and your set is experiencing deflection problems which can be exspensive to repair
