There can be number of reasons for the mentioned problems such as ballast or board if the indicator light is blinking.

Are you getting any noises when you turn on the TV?? And what about the sound?? Can you hear the sound or its not turning on at all. How long have you used you TV with the current lamp or in other words how many lamp hours have been used. If its been a long time, then it might be a lamp issue. This is the most common problem is the Samsung LCD tv, if light is flashing. The expected average life of the lamp is around 2-3 years depending on the usage.

And make sure that your cords are properly connected too. This happened before in one of the cases too. ;)

Hello Ankit & ajjohnson.
Just to point out that you probably got confused with a Samsung DLP Tv, while a LCD tv has a ballast, its more commonly known as a Inverter board, so technically that is correct.
How ever when you refer to a lamp that last 2 -3 years is where I am lead to believe that you where referring to a DLP tv, since the LCD has about a dozen or more fluorescent lamps, that are connected horizontally to the inverter board, don’t worry about it, some time it happens to me too.
Now that we are all on the same channel, let’s go back to the main problem.
Ajjohnson, my question is when you press the power button; do you see any light being emitted from the tv? Dose it turn on for a second and the shuts off?
My suspicion is the inverter board, how ever we can not discard the power supply board.
Keep me posted on any new developments.
Good luck.
