This is the typical problem that I see with these tv's posted all over
the internet, hit the power button, light is green for a few seconds,
and then turns off. I haven't found any good suggestions as to the
cause or possible fix for it, outside of sending it to a tech. That is
fine, as my last option, but I come to these sites for suggestions as
to what "I" can do to fix the problem with as little money going out as
possible. The tv is a VS-50603 and is about 5 years old, so the other
thing I see is, "buy a new tv". I have no problems with this tv, when
working, and it is the one I have in my bedroom, so I don't care to
spend a lot to replace a tv in my bedroom, I have a much newer one in
the living room and it cost more than enough. Also, this may just be
me, but I would like to get more than 5 years out of something this
expensive. It still looks brand new and is just a couple years out of
warranty, so I don't want to scrap it. My parents had their tv for
about twenty-five years, so I'd hate to think that quality of products
is getting that much worse, even though I know that it is. It started
smoking a while back when I turned it off and I had a tech come pick it
up for $80 and they charged me $370 to replace a board that blew out.
So, a few months later, this happens. I don't believe the two are
related and don't believe that he did anything wrong, it worked fine
for 3 months. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
in advance.


It's one of those situations where either you know where to start diagnosing
and can provide some more details so people can make suggestions, or you
should have a tech look at it. There's really no magic button you can push
inside to make it work, any number of things could fail and cause the no
power symptom.
