samsung dlp

About 2 weeks ago my tv developed a problem. Comes on no problem. Then after 10 mins or maybe up to a hour later the screen goes dark. No pic. If I shut the tv off for a minute or two and turn back on the pic is back. And then it will go off again. No certain amount of time that it stays on. Can anyone help a lady that knows nothing about repairing tv's? Service calls are out of my price range right now. Thanks

I think it could be an overheating issue, try cleaning the fans and air vents first.

If it doesn't work check if the TV is making any noise when the picture goes dark. Are you still having sound?

HTH.
