Hello everybody!!! I purchase a TV LCD Samsung model LN40A450C1XZP. I plug the power chord and the red light blinks, I can hear the sound, and then, it power off. After a seconds ir power up itself. The remote control doesnt control anything. It's a random problem. Anybody could help me?

I called the factory or the distributor or wholesaler (customer service) that comes out on the web and they told to just buy a new remote cuz tv just isn't recognizing the remote. Can this be true? If this is far from being true, where do I buy the boards and what are the chances that the boards are the real problem?
thanks once again.

I am currently having the blinking light issue but the tv will not reset once it is unplugged. The Toshiba repair guy said that it is the power board ($500) and that it would be $350 in labor. He said there are 10 boards in that tv and that any one of them could go out after some time. He said Plasmas in general are having this issue, but this modle is notorious for this problem.

Your LCD has gone bad or their is a high voltage problem that powers the LCD. Usually a inverter board.

Just to be a little more detailed, since I just fixed this problem. It is the capacitors are the problem. However, I think that if you have some minimal skills with soldering, you can fix this yourself. You just need to take out the system board, then the power supply parts are on the top right. The bad capacitor(s) will be bulging at the top and possibly have some brown stuff coming out. The ones that go bad are 1000microfarad, 10V, however you can replace them with higher voltage. I got 35V caps from radio shack for 1.59 each. You just need to solder out the bad ones and then put the new ones in and solder. Remember that the negative end goes on the side with the bold black part of the circle on the system board. Then just cut off the extra ends of the capacitors. If you are capable of doing this yourself, you will spend at most 6 dollars instead of however much a technician costs.
