Adjustments unlike to do anything but make matters worse--power board or main board.

Loud buzzing sound from tv with no picture

It sounds as though your SMPS is seriously faulty and normally one can buy a kit to correct the problem if you are a TV engineer, however there could also be many other reason for the condition that you describe its almost impossible to guess correctly, it really needs a qualified engineer to assess the problem along with he or she having the set with them.

Tv come on but cant clear the picture from turning red and black how can I get a clear picture?

Without knowing anything about your Tv make or model this is hard; but there should be a reset button in your menues to restore all settings to factory default. Find and use that. However I am suspicious and think the set needs reapir.

Good older rca tv favors blue green, red is weak. tint function doesent help this problem is there an adjustment inside?, where, turn down green blue or turn up red? jm

Hello; The red probably got low over a long period of time due to only one thing. The CRT/ Picture tube is getting weak and cost much more than the set sold for. The adjustments may only help a little and the set will get worse. These adjustments are done on your remote control with service menu accessed. You will need a Service Manual for instructions to do this, but I think it's time for another set. John

I cant get the color right. its to red??? any help? i did notice with the back cover off, there are 6 adjustment screws

yes! those are the screen and focus adjustments. 3 for screen, 3 for focus. try this. go in menu....turn down color, brightness, contrast all they way down. you should then have no picture, but in your case a little red. then go to back of tv and turn those 3 screen adjustments all the way down. slowly turn the screens back up until you get barely a picture. because remember, your brightness and contrast is all the way down. the picture should be dim but seeable and with red, green, blue adjustments, make it a black and white picture. when balanced..... turn up color , brightness, contrast in menu. enjoy!

No picture controls

Check your owners manual look for the section that tells you how to adjust the televisions features using the on screen menu.You probably Have it set on auto adjust. You must turn this feature off, to use the manual controls. If this does not help go to the Sharp website and search the frequently asked questions and troubleshooting sections. Search for your problem and similar one that may have answers. If all this fails you, call technical service and ask them for help with your problem.Hope this helps you with your problem.

Blue section (corner) and blue dots

This set has no internal manual adjustments for color. The Tracking or B&W balance is accessed via the service menu. I don't suggest you attempt to adjust without instrumentation. the trouble with your set is not an adjustment. Most likely the Optics are at fault. This model has had issues with filters in the optics being destroyed over time by the lamp. The blue haze will get worse and continue to grow over the whole picture. The only option is to remove the Optics (light engine) and sent it out to be rebuilt.

Plasma tv has little red dots in the black

This problem (known as sparkles) can be cured by adjusting the ramp control on the Y-Sustain board. If this does not cure the dots then there is a software remedy for the control board which an LG repair centre could fix. Failing that a replacement board is required. The orbitor & whitewash are like screen savers to help to prevent a screen burn from a permanently displayed image.
