Lately my t.v has taken a little longer then usual turn on. Then yesterday it just wouldn't turn on at all, but it will play sounds. Here is a video of my t.v going through the process of attempting to turn on. Does the ballast look like it is properly working? And does that charging sound indicate ...

yes sir. I even put in the one screw that holds it on.


I read some where about a engine?

Well hi everyone. I seem to be having a problem with my 65733. I press the reset button, and wait for it to reset. Then when I press the power button for the tv I can hear one click and a slight whine for about 5 seconds then later the lamp, status, and timer light will flash really quick and the st...
