The storm can cause sudden spikes in voltage and overheating damaging the electrical components, the power supply (most likely) and the ballast (If power supply is ok) may turn out to be damaged. You can also check these sites for more info on the matter: http://www.fixya.com/support/t2374181-tv_will_not_work http://www.fixyourdlp.com/blog/2007/04/07/how-to-extend-the-life-of-your-dlp-lco s-sxrd-hd-ila-or-lcd-tv-lamp-intuitive-guide/ There is a ballast replacement guide available but for a Samsung TV, this might help you out: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp47-00033a.php Good luck Alan. |
