I've started having issues with my Samsung HLN5065W. I was just watching as normal when the screen went black. I shut it off then turned it back on and the picture showed up, then quickly disappeared. After turning off the TV for 30 minutes or so, I turned it back on and it lasted about 15 minutes before turning off. Now I am having a hard time getting it to turn on at all.
I pulled the bulb out, thinking it was the bulb, but am having a hard time determining if it is or not. Can you tell just by looking at it? Does this sound like a bulb problem? I'd appreciate some insight. TX
