There could be a huge range of problems. I'll do my best to give you the key things you need to check.
Make sure that your house fuse is rated to take the power of the TV.
Make sure that it has it's own designated power outlet since it takes so much power.
Please do not plug the TV into a power strip unless it's rated for the TV and other items AND it has a surge protector.
Bigger issues:
A fuse within the TV could be blown; this needs a professional from your local TV store to replace and (sorry) could be a little costly depending on where you go.
Your power cord could have an internal disconnect and may need replaced.
It could just be as easy as getting a bulb replaced. A professional may have to do this for you if you don't know how. Personally I wouldn't try it because (get ready for a personal lesson learned) I took a tube TV apart to replace the power cord and I layed my arm over the metal portion of the tube and gave myself a pretty good shock. Left a burn mark for quite some time and I still have the scar to prove it.
Issue that has contradicted my previous solutions:
It could be getting too much power and is using an internal safety switch to prevent the TV from overheating and/or overpowering.
Good luck and please rate my solution accordingly.
