Lightening hit tree next door.
Well, anything grounded (like the tree) has taken a 1 million amp spike.
humans die at 1amp. Electric chairs use 1 amp but 9-15 thousand volts. in this case the voltage is immeasurable but at an impressive million Amps your poor TV might have seen better viewing days. If your're posting you must have house electricity...check that one breaker controlling juice to the TV outlet. unplugg TV and let it sit for different periods of time each one getting longer... if no luck call the TV mortician hope this kinda helps let us know ~~~s
Your TV might very easily be destroyed now, from lightening damage. Lightening can come in on the cable, on the power line, all sorts of unexpected ways. I've personally been struck by lightening, plenty hard enough to destroy almost any electronic device... and I was working in a basement at the time.

You could have poped a cap "capcitor inside" or a fuse that controles the DVD side. I would check both. Here is a tip also and maybe this will help out others too "never buy combo units" Why? Well the reason why is you have to open the whole unit to fix one side and there aweful to diagnose, in your case here if you cannot eject it seems there is no power getting to that side of the unit and checking these things mentioned above could help you in further fixing of this unit. Remember if its still under warrentee please seek manufacture advice before opening this unt yourself. Also I personally recommend you get a surge supressor for all your eletronics to advoid this kinda loss. Thanks and don't shoot the messanger here and please rate!

SOURCE: No power on Samsung TV after storm
Hello Zkarim,
I'm very sorry to hear about your unfortunate new's. I had the same problem in my own home maybe a week ago.
Basically if your power flickered on and off at anytime during this storm then there was a power surge that probably fried your TV.
* First check the power where the tv was plugged in. Is it a power strip or a surge protector ? Surge protectors typically have an on/off switch and a separate reset push button.
If it is a power strip then the tv fried because there was nothing to stop it from happening (not even the fuse). If it was plugged into a surge protector then it could be quiet a few years old and not as reliable or the surge was to powerful for the limit on the surge protector.
The only thing you can do personally is send it in for repair if it's under warranty, if it is not then you can have it looked at by an authorized repair technician in your area. Troubleshooting should be fairly low, and you will at least be able to find out your options once they find the defected part.
Thank you for choosing Fixya!

Well, at the very least, your TV needs a new power supply board. Since lightning damage is so severe and unpredictable, it typically is not worth the time/effort/cost to repair.

Check the main AC fuse, it may have blown because in the TV it has MOVs for surge protection that are installed after the main AC fuse, when the MOVs conduct, it will cause the main fuse to blow to stop any surge from coming through the second time.

I would start with your power supply. If you took a surge it is possible that you only blew a fuse. If it is a blown fuse, make sure you only use the same type fuse.
