Audio but no pictureb>This is a common issue in many LCD or Plasma sets andit does not have a common solution.Inmost cases you need to first check for missing voltages on the power supplyboard and for damaged caps there. Ifgood voltages exist then look elsewhere.LCD(not projection) sets often use a back light to provide the light source forthe screen unit (display panel) so confirming the voltage for those is first-ifback lights are used but not on it is either no voltage, not being turned on bythe set, or bad light unit/s.Inthese sets there are also boards that "Drive" the panel itself. Usually the set will use two boards (somecombine both into one large board---names vary but are Inverters, Y-boards (Ymeans video) T-con boards etc. Usuallyin this case only one half of the screen will be black but it is possible forit to cause a total loss of brightness also.Plasmasets are similar to some degree but with no back light in most cases. Troubleshooting can be tedious and expensive-Taking one of these sets apart requiressome skill as one wrong move and the Display panel can be instantly damagedwhich is fatal from a repair cost point of view.Otherpossible solutions include but are not limited to physical problems---looseplugs or connections (look for any plugs held down with tape where they pluginto a board). Alot of people with problems play the guessing game-buy and try a board afterresearch which can get expensive and may not fix the set---gamble or not?Ihave seen sets where every single board was replaced and set still did not havea picture-means display panel is theproblem.Theproblem can even be the "main" board in some cases-it controls thecommunication with the panel and if faulty can cause issues.Asidefrom checking voltages, connections etc. there are a few otherconsiderations---The problem can be the display panel itself---Part cost forthat is more than the set cost when new.Thepanel connects to the boards that drive it with either a multi-pin conventionalplug or a RIBBON CABLE.Theworst case is the problem is a ribbon cable etc. bad or damaged INSIDE thepanel where it cannot be got at.Thatmeans if the case set would cost too much to repair.Theconnectors where the cable attaches outside of the panel can also develop dirtyor loose connections.Fansin units that use them can be an issue if dirty or not moving.Asyou can see (or not if no brightness) the problem sounds simple but has manypossible different causes.Letme know if you have questions as I am here to try to help.SDTECH

Depending on the bios, it will mean different things. I would check to see if the memory chip RAM is seated properly first.

Here's a list.

Have a computer store look at it they may be able to help you put the wwires in the corect spot.

Most tech stores have adapters for this kind of issue. Try BestBuy, CompUSA, or Radio Shack. I would call first and describe what two ends you need the adapter for, i.e. 15-pin male --> 15-pin male. If you are trying to connect an Apple device with a PC device, they have adapters for that too.

The blue device is dying allowing green to shine thru instead of white. Very common problem called color decay. Happens on average about evey3-4000 hours. I suggest next purchase a dlp product, they are immune to this problem. Good luck

Did you try to reset the LCD?

Hit + - at the same time.
If that dont work contact manufacturer for replacement.

Faulty capacitor(s) has ben mentioned by a computer repair man elsewhere in these solutions. I returned mine to the factory and was told they replaced an 'inverter' ?
