I've had this set for about 3 years. Once in a little, over the past year, I would hit the power button and it would take a little while, longer than usually for the screen to appear. Sometimes it would try for a while and shut off. I unplugged the tv and pushed power and it would start. The other morning I turned on the tv and it started as normal but the screen was darker, and stayed that way for a bit. I turned it off then back on again and it started and was fine. I walked away for a minute and came back to a blank screen but with sound. Then it immediately shut off. I tried for hours to start it up again, but it just keep in stand-by mode for a minute then shut down. There is only the one power supply light on, it's flashing when trying to start. The light indicator is off, but if I recall, had always been on. Also when it's trying to start up, there's a wierd screeching sound for a second and seems to occur twice while starting up.
Please help. I don't want to call a service man out and spend another $500 to repair it. I've read it could be the lamp.
Most likely you can have 1 or 2 problems.
1! the light is busted and you will have to replace that. You might also need to check your cooler fan bearing as you indicate it makes noise.

Thank you. I'll try the light first and see if the screen comes back.
