Your TV has gone into service mode now and the colours that are showing up on the TV screen is a test pattern.To stop that yo need to unplug the TV from the power outlet and the wall and hold down the power button for 20 seconds.

Increase the volume on the TV and/or your connected media device (streaming player, Blu-ray player, cable or satellite box, etc.). Check the audio settings on your TV and connected devices. Turn off and unplug your TV and connected devices. Inspect the TV cables and ports, then check the ones on your devices as well.
Check Mute. Make sure the sound on your TV isn't muted. Push the Mute button on your TV remote. ...
Adjust Volume. On your TV remote, use the Volume Up/Down buttons. ...
Sound Menu. Push the Menu button on your TV Remote.
This is the preferred method of code searching our technicians use.
1. TV on. 2. On your Dish Network remote PRESS AND HOLD the small clear tv button until all buttons across the top of the remote light up and release.The only button lit should be the clear tv button that will be flashing. 3. Press the small red tv button next to the power button and release it. This should leave the clear tv button that was flashing lit solid. 4. Now slowly depress the channel up key until the tv turns off.Each time the up channel button is depressed the clear tv button will cease being lit and once it is released the clear tv button should remain solid. If the clear tv button flashes multiple times it usually means there is no known code for your tv, there may be another code that will work so continue on. 5. Once you are successful in getting the TV turned off press the channel down button once and then the channel up button. This should turn the TV back on. 6.Press the # key button on the remote. The clear tv button should flash three times then press the record button and try the volume up/down and the small red tv button. You should be able to turn volume up and down and turn tv on /off. If only one of these function it means that you have only found a half code and need to try the process again. Not all TV's have full codes or any codes at all especially combo units. I hope this helps you and thanks for using Fix Ya.
Before any repair or replacement, unplug the tv from the electricity
for an hour, plug it in. This forces a system reset on the tv and
may solve the problem. More likely you need a new lamp.
Sounds like you have a jammed / shorted out button on the control panel... Try un-plugging the tv, and then unplug the "button panel" on the front of the tv...see if you can turn the tv on with the remote. Sometimes if one of the buttons gets shorted, it will "lock" the processor from doing ANYTHING else, as it thinks you are holding down the defective button. If this works, simply have the defective switch or control panel replaced, or just leave it unplugged and use the remote only! Hope this helps!
I have the same problem. The only way to get the TV to come on is to unplug it, but once you get it back on it turns itself off again in a few minutes.
I just got a 42" komodo by Sceptre, same problem, except "SCEPTRE" showed on the screen. I was sent a USB key program to insert in the service slot in the back and it reflashes the bios. This is old news for you but maybe new for someone?
