Just out of interest are you suffering from any other issues with this brand of television. I find both foxtel as well as my digital top set box aren't working. Any ideas at all?

not really a solution but yes it is firmly soldered to the board inside

the power supply / board is shot and needs to be replaced. You can find them cheaper online, have it shipped to you and then find a local tech to replace it cheaply.

bought a new power supply / board and had it installed. Has worked for 9 months, but now the screen goes black after it warms up, still gets the sound, just no picture. The tech that replaced the board told me that type of TV get extremely hot and it fry's the components.

HI here you go it is the best

Try to reset the unit and do a power cycle first.

That may be that one of the closed captioning modes has been enabled. One of the closed caption modes or text modes does the box in the centre of the screen. Make sure that the CC on the TV and cable box is not on.

Cheers

I bought the power board, HD4208TIII-PD from www.shopsva.com this past March. It arrived and works fine.

You have to use your SVA remote controll to access the CLOSED CAPTION function to turn it off ....as I just found out myself by the Wiz..... ;)

There is a PC/DTV RGB input area with two audio jack inputs.  The input is a standard 15 pin PC jack. Hook it up to your PC video card input.  You can get the audio cable from Best Buy or a electronics store...split RCA on one end and the headphone jacks on the other to your PC. Then select the TV/Video source button on your remote until you see PC/DTV YPbPr screen appear.  It will search for the signal, find your PC and display the screen. You may have to go to MENUE on your remote to adjust the HDTV (1080i) frequency.... an option that only appears if there is something hooked up to the PC/DTV RGB signal input.

Go into the customer menu and find the "closed captions" heading. Within the closed caption you will find "TEXT". If you turn off closed captions or the text, whichever you menu lets you do, your rectangle will go away. Hope this helps

good

are you using the original remote

Which universal remote do you have? Is the remote working or do you need the code? If you need the code, please give me the make and model of the remote. Please reply with more information and I will get back to you with what to do

S-video input is stuck in monochrome- when the small center box appears allowing you to change the input, the S-video box reads monochrome at the bottom. I cannot find a way to change this and have misplaced my user's manual. Help!
Thanks-
