I have similar problem and my TV shuts itself off. It is the 56'DLP model. I have changed the bulb once, and I know it is not from the bulb.
I m having the same problem and will be calling my sales man tomorrow!
I GOT TIRED OF FIGHTING IT, AND JUST LEAVE IT ON ALL THE TIME, SINCE MINE WILL TURN OFF CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF TRYING TO TURN IT ON, SO BY THE TIME IT IS ABLE TO STAY ON FOR THE DURATION, YOU DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE, SO JUST LEAVING IT ALWAYS ON, IT IS READY WHEN I WANT IT. WHAT A PAIN.

I have to turn my tv (HL-S5679W) on 5 or 6 (sometimes even more) before it stays on... Please help
Nice to know I'm not the only one.
What is the fix????
Same problem but so far it only turns on and off about 3-5 times before turning on for the duration. I called a local reputable shop but they said they would have to bring it in. They also suggested the lamp was perhaps getting old and not firing. This model is supposed to not have that lamp or should have a much improved one with longer life.
Puzzled.
I called Samsung and got the name and phone number of their local technician (TV repairman) and he figured it out. It was in one of the boards,however Samsung did not have that board in stock. He discovered that the voltage of 4 or 5 campacitors on that board was not rated high enough. He went to radio shack bought the higher rated voltage campacitors and unsodered the old ones from the board and sodered the new ones own. It fixed the problem. That was 4 months ago.Cheap fix. Basically the price of a service call. It was still under waranty and Samsung paid.
I don't think it would be your light as it is a LED and not a color wheel bulb. Be sure you use and honest Samsung repairmen. I had the same problem called Samsung they had their local repair man call and make an appointment to come to the house to check it out. Long story short the failed circuit board was not available from Samsung and Samsung replaced HDTV with a brand new 2008 model from the local store where I purchased it. This TV was still under warranty. Extremely well pleased.
I have the same problem. The tv clicks on and off for a few seconds and then it stays on. Do you know from what board did the repairman replace the caps?????
