Baird tv has no picture but sound ok. picture lights up when turning on and off but then goes out.y

Hi Anon, If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors - Flickering screen - Screen image disappears after several seconds - Dim screen - Slow start - Power LED on, but no picture - Unusual colors and/or lines The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad. If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced. New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years. Check the cables, connectors and connections. If your TV, flatscreen, or monitor is more than 5 years old it is more like to have suffered a component failure. Take it to a repair shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR2iWN6b-LY LCD TV Repair No Power Power Supply Common Symptoms Solutions How to...
