Check and replace its main system memory IC. Contact any experienced service technician.

I found the solution!

With the remote, press the Guide button. This should bring up the Guide Plus+ screen. Press the right arrow to move the cursor all the way to set up and it will ask, "What would you like to do?" Arrow down to "Review Options" and press OK.
The first question is, "Guide Plus+ System Auto Display? On / Off"
Arrow down to Off and press OK.

funny I'm seeming to have the same problem lol

I would check the power supply for bulged or blown caps. I am unsure of the model you have as the title says 32" and you say it's a 55".

The Television is looking for SVIDEO, which is a separate standard. Since SVIDEO does not provide Audio, it uses RCA audio cables. Try switching to a Video in or AV IN setting.

Contact the cable provider to know about the signal type they are transiting by it. If it is digital type, you must ahve a set top box to convert it to analogue signals, which your TV can process. It sounds so.

The chassis used in this series had many problems that were caused by bad solder connections to the metal shield around the tuner. Picture shrinking or moving vertically was a common effect. If no component failures have occurred, resoldering the bad spots will probably fix your TV. Unfortunately, this repair should be done by a professional because it's very easy to do real damage to the circuit board trying to make the repair. This page has information about the problem and its repair, but it's meant for service technicians and is rather technical. Some other sites have pictures of the areas that need to be repaired and more basic information, but it's still not something you should try without substantial experience. If you want to keep this TV you should probably call a TV shop in your area and see what a repair might cost. When I worked in a shop we charged around $70, but it's been almost ten years now and I have no clue what today's rates are.
