When the power goes out during a storm or any other reason my tv will not turn on. When you hit power on the remote the "timer" light displays on the power button on the tv. I can get the tv to come back on but it is very frusterating to do so. I have to plug and unplug the TV multiple times and finally randomly the tv comes back on in working condition. This never happened until we moved out of town and had cable and there is some indication it may have something to do with my dish reciever I use now.
As I said I can get the tv to come back on by pluggin and un-plugging the tv multiple times. The manual claims that 30 seconds is enough time to wait but I have had various results waiting for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Here are my varied results:
1. Plaid picture with sound, picture locks sound locks tv shuts down eventually.
2. Plaid picture with no sound tv shuts down eventually.
3. If no tone is heard you know you are wasting your time. If tone sounds you might be in luck but does not mean it will be working properly.
4. Sometimes reseting the Dish reciever can cause it to start working correctly.
5. I get different results with the cable disconnected from the back of the tv. So far I have never gotten the tv to come on and show a blue screen with "no input" showing so the tv is definately recognizing the input and it has some kind of effect on whether or not the tv will work.
I called Samsungs tech support and that was a laughable experience at best. In broken English they told me that I would need a new power supply!
TV is working now, but the next time the power goes out I will have to go through this again. Not bad for a TV that sold for around $3,000.00....

Re: HLR6167W Problems when power is lost
most likely the digital board. we have seen this issue before. we found a guy to reflow the solder and he charges 40 dollars and that normaly fixes the issue. http://jdelectronicsinc.com/

:oops: wow I gave up on anyone answering me and ordered a pcb board. $200 later that didnt fix it either. I thought I was ordering a digital board. Does anyone have a part number for the digital board?
