HELP !!!! I HAVE A HLR4667W- WORKED GREAT UP UNTIL 2 MONTHS AGO. SET BEGAN TO RANDOMLY POWER OFF .BOTH PICTURE AND SOUND WERE FINE , JUST NEEDED TO BE POWERED BACK ON . TWO WEEKS AGO THE SET SHUT OFF AND NOW WHEN ITS POWERED ON, THERE ISNT A START UP "CHIME" , NO PICTURE , NO SOUND , LAMP IS LIT ( I CAN SEE IT THROUGH THE BACK OF THE SET ) ORDERED BULB , REPLACED IT .. STILL NO PICTURE NO SOUND . THE LAMP LIGHT COMES ON, THEN GOES OUT AND THE TIMER LIGHT COMES ON , FINALLY THE TV GOES TO STANDBY MODE . I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER. THEY ARE NO HELP.. BEFORE I INVEST MORE MONEY IN THIS TV , CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT MIGHT BE ??? THE TV IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD , I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 4 YEARS. I ALSO DONT WANT TO POUR A TON MORE MONEY INTO IT ON A SERVICE CALL. ANY IDEAS ???
