Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U5 42-Inch 1080p 60Hz Full HD LCD TV (Screen doesn't work)

Screen doesn't work, it's black and the only thing I see are grey linings and black. Everything turns on fine, I can see the red light when I turn the TV on. The audio works but still nothing shows.. Please help! I may or may not have the warranty because my friend gave it to me as a gift but I know for a fact it is still under the year warranty. What can I do?

SOURCE: Panasonic Viera HD LCD Turn it on, have power and

First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board.
if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that. There are fuses on the backlight inverter boards also. So there are some troubleshoot you will have to do to find out the causes of the problem you are having.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on:

Hello,

The power supply board of the television is dead, u know basic electronics' and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your TV power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

I hope this will help in solving the problem....

Tv won't show all my hardrive files

TV's only support a few general files, like JPG for pictures, and AVI for video. Video can be broken down further. An old avi may not play, but a new one will, based on the codecs.

Verify what type of files are support by your TV.
