Hello... hope someone can help me. I have a RCA Rear proj TV Model # D52W15B. It's about 4 years old and I haven't had any problems with it till today. I tried turning it on and saw the green light in the front come on, but the picture never came up. I tried plugging it into another outlet and it looked like a car trying to turnover. The light came on and I heard it heating up and then it shuts off.. it does this 3 times and then gives up. Any ideas? Thanks!

OMG... I have the same problem. I actually thought it was caused because my male cat had "marked" it (so to speak) but if someone else has this issue, I'd REALLY like to know how to fix it.

THis is a fairly common problem with this particular model. More than likeley it is due to poor solder connections on the main circuit board. This particular mgr has had these problems for years. You will need to cal a service co that does this kind of work... GOOD LUCK,, there aren't a lot of TV repairmen anymore.
