it may be the display panel that's going bad on it or it could be a loose ribbon cable going to the screen

You need to pull the power supply out and replace the damaged caps on the board. Look for swollen, pushed up tops and leakage around the base of the caps.

You need soldering and basic electronics skills. You also need to pull apart that big tv and pull the power supply board!

You can look on Ebay for pullout boards from people who have broken their screens. It can get you a working board for cheap sometimes!

Good luck and be careful!

The only simple thing you can do is to check the manual buttons on the set for any sticking. When pressing a button down you can feel the detent.(click) When releasing the button it should raise up freely. Sometimes while cleaning the cabinet moisture gets on the switch assembly under the buttons causing random activity. I have experienced three common causes for your problem. 1 sticking buttons 2 defective switch assembly. The assembly can be unplugged from the circuit to see if the problem goes away. 3 a problem with the microprocessor that controls the functions.( requires a qualified tech to repair
) hope this helps

That problem is usually have 2 causes..Its either power supply board or main board..Please take this steps on how to determine the problem:1. Open the back cover.2. Check the power supply output...It should have 5vdc for the main board..12vdc or 16vdc for the audio and 24vdc for the back-light inverter..3. If those 3 voltage supplies have encountered voltage drop...The problem could be on power supply board..4. If the power supply output is normal..The problem could be on the main board...5. If the problem is power supply you should check if the capacitors are bulged on the top and try to replaced it..If you can't do that you can purchased new power supply board..6. If the problem is on main board there is no D.I.Y repair on that so you need to buy a new main board that fits to your TV..Hope this solution will be helpful..Thanks for using fixya...
