Hello, first off if anyone can help me figure out whats wrong, I thank you in advance!! the other day while watching TV, the TV just shut off, at the same time ( and they are not plugged into the same wall) my fish tank filter shut off at the same time,thought I had a power outage for a second.the filter came on after a second of being off,so I went to turn on the TV and it would not turn on. I've never had a problem with the TV and have owned it since new when I purchased it in late '04 if I hold down the power button on the TV itself, the green light will blink a few times but wont turn on the TV.any suggestions? I'm not 100% sure of my model but here is a link to the way it looks ( like this exactly) http://www.directvmall.homestead.com/files/D52W20_SR_OS.gif thanks again for any help!
It has gone into protection mode. This is caused when a short circuit is detected by the power management system inside the tv. Try a hard reset: Unplug the power cord for a full 4 hours; then try it again and see if it will clear the protection fault and reset it. If the reset does not help you will need to have a tech look at the set and take voltage measurements inside to determoine which section of the tv has failed and what components will need replacement. The cost of repair is always over $150 and could be much more, depending on the specific parts that need replacing. for example, if the convergence ICs have burned out the repair is around $350. The flashing of the standby light may mean something, but I do not know the diagnostic code RCA is using; most RCA models do not have any diagnostic blink codes in the set. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help further.

Hi after a lightning storm my tv went off the same way. A repairman that wouldn't work on my tv told on the phone how to fix it. It will only take a few minutes and less than a dollar to try. I am not a repairman but hey it work for me for the time and money it is worth a shot. There is a small clear round tube like fuse in two silver prongs near the area where your plug in goes into the back of the tv. You have to get up in there it is hard to see, but you will know it when you see it, it's a stereo fuse. Try to replace that.

thanks for the suggestions,I've completely forgot I asked these questions for help on the TV,I've been going nuts without a TV and had to rely on my computer for movies and some type of entertainment ( which is very dissatisfying ) . I just moved and the TV is currently unplugged,.. I'll plug it in now to see if it will turn on and see if that hard reset "CompuGuy44" suggested works.
like I said it was odd that it may have been a power surge or something to that effect when my fish tank ( on a different wall in the living room) shut off the same time the TV did,so I was hoping maybe it went into some mode that can be unlocked due to a power surge.
like I said, all it does is,.. well nothing really.I have to hold down the power button on the TV itself for a few seconds before the green power light will come on and when it does it starts to flash a few times, then nothing ( light wont stay on). my friend said he can hear something going on in the back on the TV ( possibly a buzzing noise stating its getting power) but I dunno.
after reading people having so much trouble with these TV's,; I really regret it,I never grew up in a house with big screen TV's so this was a proud purchase for myself once I was on my own with my own place.$1,700 down the drain after less than 3 years :/
I just plugged it in,.. still doing the same thing,.. hold down the power button, it blinks once,.. then blinks 9 more times and then,.. nothin' :(
Hello......I need some help.......I was just sitting watching my RCA HDTV D52W59 when the TV just turned off by itself now it wont come back on. I tried the power switch like the gentleman said, his flashed when holding it down, my TV does not even do that......Can someone help......Its about a year and half old........HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!
when i go to turn my 42" rca lcd on the power light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off and comes back on for a few seconds and goes off and it does this 3 times in a row. then u cant try to turn it on for a couple of minutes cuz it wont do anything. i usually have to repeat this step 3-4 times for it to work, but it has taken many more before. any suggestions?
