Samsung PCL542R the Timer light is on and TV will not turn on

If the lines are across the screen there is a good chance there is a power supply/ inverter problem in the TV. If the lines are thin pencil lines up and down there could be a problem in the display panel,

This cause,the convergence ICS are dead also.Try Tv repair World.com to buy a Whole convergence board to replaced.The Samsung/Akai use the same convergence board.

Your lamp hours have expired. Try taking the lamp out then putting it back in. The TV will go to a reset menu for the "new" lamp it thinks that you have put in. From there you can reset the lamp hours from the menu. It it doesn't work, the lamp may be burnt, and you have to replace it.

What you are seeing is asbestos insulation inside the crt tubes that has come loose or flaked off and is interferring with the scanning beams. The only remedy is to replace all three crt tubes.
