    all the plugs are good. how about the connectors? someone fell asleep on the remote & pushed "a" button? critter chewed on wire? is it on the correct channel? did you pay your bill? call your local cable or dish co. & ask, if you are already a customer they should fix it at no charge.

    Try this before you call a tech.....unplug your power cord from the wall for about 20-30 minutes..then plug back in and try to turn it on. Sony told me to do that to mine...says it resets some internal computer.

    If that does not work it is time to call a tech. You probably have a bad power supply compnient.

    Sounds like the bulb. You need to call a repairman, nobody can diagnose TV problems on the computer.

    I agree with Ron...time for a service tech. sorry.
