I went to turn the TV on in which nothing happened. The buttons on the TV started to flash for 5 seconds. After the flashing stops, the button stay lit for 5 seconds then they go off. Looks like the TV goes into standby mode.
I dont have a soultion for you but can tell of my experince with rca 52"dlp after having mine for six months did same thing sent it to the repair shop it stayed there for three months then they said they couldnt fix it tried to talk to rca cust serv reps who basicly said they didnt care after two more months i finaly got the store manager where i bought it to go to bat for me and they agreed to replace it but with a lower grade model and no warrenty as they said mine had expired even though it had been broken for eight months after three months the new one did the same thing i was told it was the light engine which cost 2 grand and were on forever backorder and id just get another tv before putting that much in that tv but it wont be another rca hope this helps now i have a 100lbs paper weight [email protected]
I had a set with a similar issue--at first the tv would suddenly turn itself off, sit for a moment while flashing the power button, then "reset" itself and continue running.
Then one day it quit starting up all together. I couldn't get a picture at all. I was hoping it just needed a new lamp.
I took it to a repair shop and after a few days they said the issue was the light engine in the TV. Repair cost: ~$950. If I tried to purchase a part from the Internet to fix it myself it would still cost ~$700, if you could get one at all (they seem to be back ordered with no ETA, as was previously mentioned).
Instead of investing that much money in a TV that seems to be on the downward side of its useful life, I'm going to get a new set--perhaps with LCD technology, although I hear Samsung DLP TVs are very good. Buying a new set right now is pretty painful, but the best option for me. It was a great TV when it worked.
