If your TV comes up blue and then does not respond to any button, especially if it doesn't respond to the power off then it definitely has a bad main board.

if it responds to the power off main button, but none of the other buttons has any effect on it then it may have a bad power supply, but it is about just as likely, if not a bit more, to still have a bad main board.

You can try flipping through the inputs with the INPUT button on either the unit or the remote to see if you can get it to produce sound (when on a channel / input with signal). It's a blind operation that takes some effort, but if you get it to produce sound that's a sure indication the problem is NOT in the power supply.

Short of that you need to to open the TV and measure the outputs of the PSU to rule it out, leaving out the main board and, eventually, the T-CON if the TV has one ( I did not check if your model does as it won't help me much even if I know it).

Sorry I can't be more specific, but I doubt anyone can.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,
If your TV is more than 4 years old cost of repairs will probably be more than a new or refurbished replacement.
Here's something to try:
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.
Take it to a repair shop.

I've connected my new Sony Blue-Ray Disk Player to my RCA F25645 TV via the three (Red, White, Yellow) composite cables but the screen only says "unusable signal" and will not display the Blue...

The output from the blu-ray is probably component video, where the brightness, blue and red difference signals are the three outputs. Sounds like the TV only has composite video input so won't work. Check the manuals, if you can get a composite signal from the blu-ray then your TV will display it but not high definition. A HD LCD or plasma TV is needed to show the blu-ray films in high definition.

If you have the DVR connected to the TV with the Coaxial and the HDMI that is probably causing the problem I work for a Cable company and have dealt with this problem on numerous occasions. Try just disconnecting the Coaxial cable from the cable box that should fix this issue.

If your player has the red blue green video inputs on the back plug your video cable into one of them the picture will be a bit distorted but you will be able to see enough to change it back. I did this one time with mine.

Mine did the same thing once. I think all I did was hit the setup on the remote, and let it run back through all the channels and then it worked just fine.

I hope this works for you.

This is an encrypted channel

Hello hbennett,
When looking at cable TV some of the channels are encoded (arranged digitally) to disallow access to the content on that channel.  This is true in the case of encrypted channels, the cable company has taken that channel and through an encrypting algorithm made that channels content inaccessible to you. The only legal way to see that channel is to pay the cable company or content provider for that service (channel). I hope this helps.
Thank you, Shuttle83
