Sounds like you have a backlight related problem. Apparently the backlight is turning itself off in a few seconds.Can you confirm if you have a dull glow on the screen?
That means the tv is not recognizing the input source. Did you try another input source such as DVD player to see if the problem persists? That will help us determine whether its a problem with the cable box or the tv itself.
Thank you very much. It was the cable box. I switched it with another box and after a few minutes the TV picture came right on.

You asked if there is a dull glow on the screen. The screen is the normal deep blue that you see when the TV is on, but the cable box is turned off. I hope this makes sense.
Yes. It was a bad cable box :) Thank you very much for your help.
