Will be interesting to see if it can be fixed. I have a 65 inch that has done the same thing for two years.
My solution was to hit the "on" button repeatedly until the screen lit up.
I finally resorted to leaving it on. It's been on for about 6 months now.
My TV is in Missouri but I would love to get it fixed. I would even consider throwing it the pickup and hauling it down here.
There just isn't any such reliable repair services available in my area up there.
Please let us know if you find someone. 4951
