rca tv wont turn on but it starts up.

i have a 52 inch hdtv rca tv. not sure what model. when i hit the button it glows green u can hear it start up but then it shuts off. it does this 3 times then stops. only had the tv for about 2 weeks. but it was an open box item at best buy.

Based on the size, it sounds

Based on the size, it sounds like it's a microdisplay TV. If so, it sounds like the bulb needs to be replaced.

Not sure what matt means by the bulb needing replacement..I don't think I have as much knowledge as he does. However I work in a tv repair shop and my guess there's a short somewhere. The power supply has protection and will try to start a few times but then shuts down to protect itself.
