Constant on/off cycle

[DonnaRonna]

I have a 3 year old Samsung LCD TV, and all of a sudden it has started to cycle on-off repeatly, when I turn it on with the remote. After 3 days, it is up to at least a dozen on-off cycles (click, click) before it finally stays on (I only turn it on ONCE!). Any ideas of what to try, to resolve this?

Thanks

Sounds like my dead Sony.... I would press the ON button and it would appear to start and then shut back down... After doing this dozens of times it would finally come on.

I did a little research - as I recall mine "probably" had a faulty power supply... or a switch. I ended up just replacing it since any repair over $200 would be too much....
