When you plug it in you hear a noise but no picture
It use to turn on but the buttons on the tv itself would quit working after 5 or10 minutes, and the only way to shut it off was to unplug it. Now it won't even turn on, it just makes that startup noise when plugged in. It is a samsung 65" rear prjection HD tv, model HCN653W
Televison & Video - RCA - P61960 61" Rear Projection Television

Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems to be either a bad lamp or a bad power supply however, it is very easy for you to determine what the exact issue is. When you turn on the TV Listen: You should instantly hear a subtle fan noise.... You should then hear a second noise like a motor spinning up...Once you hear that noise then look in the back at the lamp door and see if the lamp lights...or if it lights then goes out. If the lamp lights, then goes out, you have an intermittent lamp and it should be replaced. If you don' hear the 2nd motor spin up, then that's your color wheel not working. If you don't get the first soft whirr of the fan, then you have a bad fan or a bad power supply. If you cannot get it to even start....then that's also your power supply. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.
Thanks

Power supply board is the board where all the cables plug in, usually the noise is from a bad ballast however, you can also check the power supply board for any burned components.
