Red light on power button flashes, but no picture....blank screen

Son was playing xbox 360 and said there was a loud click and the screen went dark. Currently, the small red light on the power button flashes. You can push the power button on the TV or remote with no effect. The little red light continues to flash but no picture. All suggestions appreciated! Thanks, Bill

    When I turn on my Insignia TV, a "Please Wait" screen flashes and then nothing happens. I know that the television has power because the power light is on. Is there a reset button I should push?

I would suspect a problem in either the backlight assembly, or the power supply that drives it. If it's the power supply, the part may be over $100.

I have the same problem with my 5 year old 42" rear projection Samsung. This is the second problem I had with it. The first one would have set me back $400. If I didn't have a service contract. I no longer have a service contract. I am going to dispose of my TV at this point (would be cheaper to replace with a flat screen these days) and will not be buying a Samsung again, stick to Sony or Panasonic for durability.

Well when I turn on my xbox 360 the third part flashes red.

2 red lights
This problem may occur when the Xbox console is too hot or is overheating. The flashing lights mean that the internal temperature of your Xbox 360 console has exceeded acceptable temperature limits. Let your Xbox 360 console cool. You may have to wait several hours for your Xbox 360 console to cool enough. Don't turn on your Xbox 360 console when the console is hot.Verify that your Xbox 360 console has enough ventilation and that the fans are operating. If the two lights continue to flash red after you try steps 1 and 2, contact Xbox Customer Support.

Microsoft can be contacted by finding the number listed on the back of your video game booklets.

Good Luck to you and Happy Gaming.

Xbox 360
What is the error code at the bottom of the screen & check for flashing red lights on the power button if 3 illuminate it the infamous RROD(Red Ring of Death-google it) which you will get a free repair for if its the bottom right quadrant flashing red then its most probably E74 or E61. E61 is a hard drive related problem so try playing without it, & E74 is the AV cable snapped inside or the GPU/CPU inside the xbox 360 has weak solders on it, I suggest MS support ASAP.

Samsung Lcd tv Side panel controls do not work Bought as a store display for demo game systems. Orignal remote works but none of the volume, up/down, menu buttons work except from remote. Most likely to keep kids from messing with it. Took the back of and the controls seem to be hooked up, and no Kensington lock that I can find on it. Already tried holding exit button on remote down for 10 seconds and that didn`t reset it. Any suggestions? Thanks john
