It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main digital board.//

It called pixel retention, in most the case, it is a temporary problem, sometimes it will go away itself, but if you physically put pressure to the LCD panel, it may damage the crystal container cone, the damage will be permanent.

Hello Gary, you can find the fuses on the power supply board which is located inside the TV, they look like medicine capsules made from glass and for contact capped with a sheet of metal. Here is a picture of a SAMPLE LCD power supply board.

Look at the top of the main board. There are two capacitors together. Look at the area just to the top of the board and behind the capacitors. There is a very small resistor(flat) soldered to the board. I had the same problem, so I removed bad resistor and replaced it with a 10 ohm resistor from Radio Shack. Sound is back. Cost a couple of bucks and took about an hour in all. Hope this helps.

Do a hard reset to this set, and check. To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight; will be better. If it do not help you; check the speaker/s. If found OK; check and replace the damaged component/s at its audio output section circuit board. If needy, replace this board as card basis.

Your TV probably overheated. There is a fan in the TV to keep it cool. If you block the airflow, it will over heat, and burn out components.

Repalce the main board

Hi,check if your av cable from dvd to tv is connected and not broken

Check to see if sound when a DVD via the rear inputs is played--rules a lot in or out.Also look in menu to see speakers did not get switched to OFF.

Check the caps on the power supply board, this is the most common problem with this model. Here is a link to a repair guide for a TV that uses the same power supply boardhttp://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/visco-vsc-37v1-no-picture-lets-repair-it/I hope this helps, if so please rate my solutionBuddyMc

The power board might have input power, but there might be no output power. Check and replace the main power regulator board.

Send your email address to me and get a copy of it by return mail.

Check and replace damaged component/s in the audio output section circuit.

The audio output section circuit has the fault. A skilled work indeed. Contact any experienced service technician.
