When I turn on the TV, the lamp led flashes for 30-45 seconds, I get audio for 30 to 60 seconds and then video for perhaps 5 to 10 seconds before the entire unit shuts down. After the TV shuts off, the standby/temp and lamp lights flash on for 6 seconds and off for 6 seconds repeatedly until I unplug the unit and start the process again. Any suggestions?

You have the same problem I have. The problem is fixed by changing the new light bulb. The problem appears again after 1500 hours of use. You can keep buying new light bulbs or avoid it by not buying another Samsung TV.

I have the same issue. i can't recall how i got it fixed last time, i just remember unplugging and hitting all the buttons and then it came back on. this makes me want to go buy japanese and not korean. reading a lot of blogs, don't call samsung, they either don't understand or will deny it's their fault.
We had the same problem starting around the same time as you. Would turn on about 50% of the time. Unplugging when it would not solved the problem about 50% of the time. Thus, 25% of teh time it just would not work. Replaced the bulb, still no luck. Had a repairman come out -- he swapped out a couple components without success and concluded it was the light engine which would cost $925 to replace. That money went instead to a new Sony rathe rthan to fix this obsolete piece of junk. If anyone has a cheap solution I'd still like to hear it so I can use it as a guest room set, but I'm not optimistic.
