I just had the same problem. I downloaded a service manual and give this a try http://www.servicemanuals.net . Turn on your TV and with the remote do the following Key in the code “123654” via the standard RC transmitter. This get you into a customer service mode and you can check your error codes.
After I got out this mode my TV worked. I think the TV was stuck in protection mode for some reason and by entering the service menu's it reset it.
I then entered the SAM Mode
How to Activate SAM
Via a standard RC transmitter: key in the code “062596”
directly followed by the “INFO” button. After activating SAM
with this method a service warning will appear on the screen,
you can continue by pressing the red button on the RC.
It will give you more info.
The TV worked fine after I exited these menu's.
I also did a software update as per the user manual and the TV seems to be working fine again.

Hope this helps
