First, I'm not an ELEMENT TV tech. But I do have a background in electronics.
* I checked youtube for "ELDFT406 tv" and there seems to be a lot of problems with this set. Looks like your LED back lite is not working. This can be repaired but as it come outside the USA and may not have a repair center in your area. I suggest returning it for refund or replacement. Though I would prefer a cash out and get another brand.
Aloha, ukeboy57

SOURCE: Screen is half dark and whistles when battery is unplugged

You could have a defective screen, either a faulty inverteror a CCFL lamp - follow this to determine the fault.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

  • Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
  • Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
  • Picture flickering with dim display.
  • Picture flickering on and off.
All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

Your light tunnel may have collapsed. This is made up of 4 tiny rectangular mirrors glued together to make a tunnel.

SOURCE: Screen Half darker

Try also resetting the your monitor back to factory settings from the forteManager software that comes with it. It's under Options, Restore. I had a similar problem and this fixed it for mine.

Have a element 40 inch model number ELDFT406 screen dark or dim on left side

Two things to check. The T- Con board and the back light strips. The T-con board can cause dimming on parts of the screen. A bad section of back light LEDS can do it also.

I tried to register my new Element Electonics 40" Model - ELDFT406. Says model # doesn't exist ? Also having trouble getting the tint setting.

so you shouldn\'t bother too much with it. I have the same model and it shuts itself off whenever it chooses to. I\'ve only had it since the 23rd of November, and it shut itself off after 2 days and maybe being on only 6 hours in those two days. It shut off the other day after 40 minutes. Read the reviews on Target\'s site, most people have issues.

On Facebook, the manufacturer said they would be adding this model to their site within a week, and that was around the 26th of November that they said that and it\'s still not on their site yet. I got mine at Target and I have 90 days to return it, so I\'m going to wait until TVs go on sale around the beginning of Feb and return it.

Mitsubishi dlp tv picture is getting darker

One of two possible issues:

1. Lamp is nearing end of life and may dim just before total failure.

2. A few of these models have 2 mirrors(check with Mitsubishi to see if yours is one) A large mirror in back (never gives a problem and do not try to clean it. Some idiot in these sets used a small mirror inside that the optical unit shines the picture into (wedge shaped mirror and small) and it is facing up----the fans intake air from the front of the set around this mirror--it gets coated with lots of dust---Picture can loose up to 70% of its brightness and clarity if that mirror is dirty--looks like 20 year old set .

If you do not wish to check with Mitsubishi GOOGLE THE MODEL NUMBER with "mirrors" to see.

If it has 2 mirrors I can tell you exactly how to get at it.

I have a JVC tv only 1 year old and the picture is getting dark.

Sorry to tell you but JVC is a well-known un-reliable brand and if it's cheap, probably even worse. U may have screen burn from leaving a games console on while plugged into the tv, even if its not showing the game, it will burn it onto the screen. :(
