My tv is starting to have half the screen go black. I had this happen for a few months intermittantly and usually turning the tv off and back on would give a short term remedy. Now the other side is having the problem where the whole screen is going black. Any suggestions on problems, solutions?

Yes your inverter is bad, I have the same problem my set is about 1 and 1/4 years old. Because Olevia makes a terrible product there inverters are attached directly on to the panel, which means they will only sell the inverter along with the panel i.e $700+ to replace + $100 dollars labor if u don't know how to fix it ur self. I am currently searching to find the manufacture that makes the inverters because olevia will not disclose that information. I believe it is darfon, if so the inverter should cost about $150-200 depending. If you dont believe you can fix it ur self ur best bet is try and sell the set for scrap take ur $100 or so dollar and buy a quality product! Oh and dont call there support they will tell 10 different things before u find out this long for seen truth!

@givemhall: I had this happen to my 42" after I moved. It turns out that when we were carrying the TV, the power button got pressed down too hard (it's right near where you would put your hand to lift the set) and it was stuck in the ON position. We took the TV apart and fixed the switch, then the TV worked like a charm. It's about an 45 minutes worth of tear-down, but we were ecstatic when it came back to life. Hope this helps you!
