Not sure if my TV was hit by lighting?? We had a small storm last night w/lighting. This morning when we turned on the TV it came on and stays on BUT the picture was on for only a split second, then the screen goes off as if your turned the TV off, but the power indicator light is still on. There is no sound after the picture goes off. Could the lighting have hurt it or is there another problem? TV is about 6 yrs old. Thank you for you help.

It could be a blown fuse in the back of the tv. Check all the fuses behind the cabinet.

how can i tell if my dmd board or the chip on my samsung dlp hls-6187w has gone bad Hi i have a samsung 61" TV since 2006. i've replaced the bulb once. Now the tv turns off, the 3 lights in the front flashes and there's a humming noise in the back of the tv. i attempted to replace the bulb this time, but to no avail. all signs are now pointing to either the DMD board or the chip. i removed the DMD board, but i'm not sure if its in working condition. i see no signs of damage to the board or the capacitors on the board. Any suggestions? Is it possible that the problem is actually with the chip? Thank you and i look forward to your response.

Samsung LED UN46D6000 gives sound, but no picture when turned on... When I perform a flashlight test on the screen in the dark, I was able to see images on the screen.
