Why won't my TV turn on? The "Power/Timer" light just flashes.

Several months ago, my '90s Samsung TV (which is connected to a cable box) started becoming cantankerous, sometimes powering on and sometimes not. When it wouldn't come on, a small light on the front of the TV labeled "Power/Timer" would just flash and make a clicking sound. Now, it never turns on - it's always flashing "Power/Timer" when I try to power it on. If I press the power button a second time, the Power/Timer light turns off. There are no other apparent controls on the unit other than channel and volume. Does anyone know what's going on?

I have a 27” Samsung in the basement. According to the manual, “When the TV is turned on; Power & Timer Indicator blinks ten times. The indicator illuminates when the Timer Mode is set to the “ON” position after setting the clock and either the ON time or Off time, with the remote control. Even if the power is turned off, this indicator is stayed lit. (Clock must be set before using this function.) “The manual’s Korean to English translation leaves something to be desired.

Hopefully, you have the original remote control. By pressing the yellow menu button, you should be able to navigate to the Time/Timer menu and set the timer to “off”. My manual shows a dedicated Menu button on the left side of the front panel. You should be able to navigate the menu screens using the volume and channel buttons

Good luck!
