TV won't switch on

I was watching a TV on my 40'' Samsung LE40A556P when suddenly it switched off and wouldn't switch on again. The standby light keeps going on and off at a regular intervals of 2 to 3 seconds and there is a small flash of light on the screen coming from the bottom right hand as if the TV is trying to start up but it keeps cutting out before the picture comes on both the standby and flash of light are in sequence are in sequence. Please Help.
Regards
Chris Raby

1. Your Tv is in need of service.
It sounds like the tube that give light to the screen for visual is defective and needs replacement.
2. The power supply circuit needs repair. Possibly a capacitor or diode has failed in the start up circuit

Testimonial: "Thank you much appreciated, by any chance do you know how much this repair should cost? Chris Raby"

The Samsung TV LED 3d 40 inch, is just two days old, just got blank while watching, we tried to switch on with remote, nothing happens, its just Samsung logo or screensaver on, please help

It saves power by switching the Samsung TV to StandBy mode when there is no signal. You can activate/ change the timer in Eco Solution Option of System Menu. It can be 15/30/60 minutes.

Samsung 55" flat panel lcd tv is not coming on the standby button light stayes on but no picture coming on it doesn't come on with the switch only by plugin it to the outlet.

Does the backlight come on? or even flash on and off when the TV is switched on? I presume the standby light is showing 'blue' then. Do you have any sound? Also, when the TV remote is pressed, does the standby light flicker?
