We turned on our Samsung DLP and heard a "POP" and after that there WAS sound but no picture. There also seemed to be a grinding sounds after turning the TV off then turning back on.
The TV is approx 4 1/2 years old and has never had any issues. Any suggestions as to the problem...I am assuming that it was a lamp, but thoughts?
