It more likely to either be the 24vdc power supply is not wrking or failed backlight inverter board, need to find out if it has 24vdc feeding the inverter board first.

I have brought this TV [Dell W1700 17 in. HDTV-Ready LCD Television] in the US and have brought it to India. Now when I plug in the video cable I get BW video only without any audio. Please suggest.

Hi ti, My name is John. Welcome to FixYa. Usually when this happens, you have to go into the menu and do another channel search (auto search) or scan, but make sure you have all your cable, wires hooked up properly. While in the menu, make sure you have selected the country that you are in. Thanks for choosing FixYa......John

Screen blackout

I had the same problem and fixed it with a new backlight inverter board. It was a pretty easy install. The part is available on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Inverter-for-Dell-W1700-17-inch-LCD-TV_W0QQitemZ400017456720QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
