Turns on and Off multiple times before screen shows clear picture

I have a 46 in Samsung LN46550P3FXZA and it takes up to an hour to turn on. Once I press the power button it turns on but the screen will go anywhere from lines to glitchy looking and the tv will sometimes make a weird noise. It will do this repeatedly as it cycles on and off. Eventually it will show a clear picture and work. If I take out the HDMI FireStick it will work fine when turned on far as exploring the menu and or changing various options. I don't have cable or anything else hooked up so do not know if the problem is confined to HDMI connections. When the problem started it would only turn on and off a few times before it would work but it has worsened. Is this an easy affordable fix or should I just buy a new TV?

Jacob Jimenez this "If I take out the HDMI FireStick it will work fine" suggest that your issue is either with the HDMI port or the FireStick. Try to use a different input (DVD player, Game console etc) on the same port and see what that shows you. If you get the same issues, I would be checking the main board for faulty components (HDMI ports).

Check the other inputs as well (component, coax etc.)You can post some images of your boards with your question so that we can see what you see. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that.
