Same problem as everyone else. After 5 months of working great, the power relay switch is faulty and burns out. No more tv just a big old paperweight.
My story starts out like this...After 5 months of great usage, it began to show signs of breaking down. After the TV has been turned off, when I go to turn it back on it doesn't turn on. After couple hours or so I tried and turned on. This has been happening for a week. So to speed up the cooling time, I would place a house fan near the back to rapidly cool it. It worked, after 10 minutes I was able to turn it back on. Was annoying but lived with it for couple weeks.
Month later I the first procedure above wouldn't work anymore. But unplugging the TV than plugging it back it made it work. I guess it reseted the power relay switch cause I am thinking the tv went into sleep mode and never woke up unless I reseted it by unplugging and plugging it in. So that even got little more annoying. than another week went by and now the whole damn thing doesn't even want to turn on. Now I have a big paper weight and with a beautiful black screen
To my understanding Version v05 is the updated version that addresses this issue. I heard people are trying to file a class action suit on Dell's poor decision to sell this product with a faulty power supply.
