No sound with dvd connection

Check connections for loose contacts, and whether the audio in has been selected to connect the RC cables, and whether the output selected at DVD end is correct. Check for jammed buttons of volume or mute on remotes of both.

Takes along time to come on.

Good day!!!!That problem is usually cause of faulty capacitors on the power supply board..Just follow this instruction to fix your TV..1. Open the back cover of your TV.2. Look at the power supply board..Its normally connected to the power cord..3. After that,,try to look at the actual image of capacitors if it is bulged on the top so that you can easily determine the bad capacitors..4. After that,,try to replaced the bad capacitors using soldering iron and soldering lead..replaced the capacitors only with the same type ratings and value..5. Some of the capacitors not bulged so its better if have a capacitance meter

Distorted Picture

Problem is likely main board (processes all signals) or even the power supply board is possible.Considering brand parts may be hard or impossible to find.

Dell w4201c no picture just bright colored spots

Was this set moved or transported? Is it possible someone struck the screen even if mildly?If you can take a few good pictures and post them somewhere on the internet and provide the location--seeing what it looks like might tell what is wrong.A classic description: set comes on but is a black swirling cloud where images can be dimly seen but are not clear--gets a little better after a few minutes but never gets normal.

My Dell 4201 Plasma picture

Actually you should select Full Screen for what you need - it's the best setting if you don't mind the normal images being stretched. Wide will also work but sometimes the normal images will appear normal, not stretched - the image format here is done by the internal trigger from the signal.
The reset is for the image quality only, the format will be left untouched since there is no default setting.

WHEN SET IS TURNED ON

hi,
As you mentioned the problem can be realted to the plasma display panel. If you can open the tv then try on thing. When you open the tv you can see there will be ribbon wires going to the panel in the top and bottom side of the tv . You have to remove these connections from its sockets. now you will see some commponnets in the ribbon cabe. You have to resolder the SMD resistor in the board. Dry soldering in these resistors will lead to this problem. Also you have to check is there is any cooling fan inside your tv. Normally all plasma tvs have cooling fans inside. If the cooling fan dosen't work it will lead to overheating of components and this problem can occur. If all thses didnt help then the pannel is faulty. Have added a video which will help you its a different plasma tv.

ok

Where and whats is involved in removing the bulb

Hi well it is pretty simple to do on most sets, however you do need a service manual, for the exact make model, unfortunately i have been unable to locate one.However i am sure you will be able to sort it out by looking at this video, and also check out this master Google link, this should help. http://www.google.co.nz/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=how+to+change+dlp+lampHowever make sure that it is actually the lamp that's faulty? many people make the mistake of thinking that simply replacing it will restore the TV to as new, and it may, but also it may not. If unsure PLEASE call in a professional, and don't spend good money after bad? get a "Quote" and go from there.http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1225793/how_to_replace_the_bulb_in_your_dlp_or_rear_projection_tv/

Where and whats is involved

If it is a flat panel plasma tv there is no lamp (bulb) in this type of set. Only rear projection LCD and DLPs have Lamps that need to be replaced.

My dell 42" plasma tv

HI
Try restarting,check that every connection that should be connected is connected.
Especially the scart connection, they have a tendency to cut out the sound or colours.
goodluck

Only get black lines, no

Known on this model. replace the main tuner board and check for two LARGE capacitors that have failed on the power supply. This will correct your issue!
