Picture looks like photo negative when power is reapplied

When I turn the TV off and then go to turn back on now matter how long of a period of time the TV has been shut off when it is first powered back on, the picture looks like a photo negative. It takes as long 4 to 5 hours to warm up before normal picture returns.

Shammi174 - thanks so much for your feedback. Yes, my set is probably 1st generation has this has been a nuisance for several years now. I pretty much never turn it off because of this issue. How do I refresh rate?

Green power light comes on, the turns right back off. No picture. Please help

I'm not sure what TV model you have. But, thing I can tell you is the most common problem.
Most of the time with flat panel TVs, the power supply for the screen fails. And the TV normally turns itself off to protect other parts in the TV from being damaged. Basically " Protection Mode".

You can try leaving the TV unplugged for 30 minutes so the TV can reset itself; then try again turning it on. If it doesn't work after that, it's time for the TV repair shop.

Picture turns into looking like a reverse negative

Often you will get a bluish or reddish looking picture if your wires from your cable box/satellite or DVD player are inexpensive RCA type video cables. Try using a nice set of component cables or HDMI cable from your sources to your TV. If this is your setup, try this first...its the most inexpensive first option.
