Samsung 5044 power light blinks on by itself randomly while watching TV.

I am watching TV on Comcast cable or over the air. The blue ring round the power button will flash on every so often. There seems to be no pattern or reason to light up. Anyone know what is wrong?

You can adjust it in setup... look for the backlight option. There's something like turn on only in standby, always on or only when watching TV.

jeffyjaixx,
I did adjust this in the menu. I have set this option to turn off the blue light when the tv is on. However while watching sometimes my power button will light up randomly at the weirdest times. It is almost as if someone is pressing the remote to activate the light but not doing anything on the TV. My remotes are on the coffee table and are not doing this.

I don't know why it is doing this. Kinda irritating when watching in the dark and all of a suddent the power light flashes.

That's not normal. The settings are, as I recall (switched to a Panny because of all the problems with my Sammy): on when off, on when on, always off, and always on. Intermittently on when watching TV is not a normal option.

Could it be IR emmisons relecting back at it or a neighbors remote or do you have an alarm with IR? I have a IR reciver for my remote and it has a light on it and it picks up IR emmisions sometimes from the plasma itself reflecting back from a picture on the wall.
