Black Screen Last night while watching tv, our screen went slowly to black with a last bit of blue color in the center. The power cord was plugged into the back of our Comcast DVR, and the DVR was plugged directly into the wall. Now our television will turn on, but we get no picture or sound. The DVR is doing the same. Is all hopeless? -or do you think we might be able to repair the problem? Thank you for any suggestions, MonicaP.

Hello Andy007...I tried the solution you suggested to try and isolate the problem. When I plugged the television directly into the wall, the tv made the "pinging" sound it used to make when the power was turned on. However, the on/off red indicator light was not on, and when I pressed the power button to see if I could get any response again, nothing happened..no sound or light. I unplugged and tried once more, and it made the initial ping noise again when I plugged in, but nothing afterward. -And of course COMCAST is already taking the stance that their product did NOT cause damage to my television.

Yes to all of the above.-As a matter of fact, I have taken the back off already, as I am ready to start the process of elimination. HOPEfully with your help, we can get to the bottom of the problem.
