I have had this TV for seven years and it's worked fine until this weekend. It started dropping out video segments of as TV show last night. This morning it won't show anything (just blue screen). I wired the satellite feed directly from the sat receiver box to the TV -- but nothing just blue screen. When I tried to access the TV's onscreen Menu (pressing the Menu button on the TV remote), the screen went all black -- when I hit that button again, it returned to a blue screen. I toggle through all the input channels on the TV -- nothing changed but the channel ID in the upper left corner. I can hear sound through my surround sound system -- so I know the sat receiver is working OK.
I think the TV chipset is dead -- Is this worth fixing, or should I just buy a new TV?
The repairs may cost starting at $ 75.00 to $100.00 for the estimate and basic trouble shooting the final cost of the repair may be about $200 to $400.00 dllars depending on the price of the part and the labor that is charged.

Hi
firstly check that the 3.5mm plug has the same number of contacts as the original there should be 4 segments
The three rca plugs are coloured red white and yellow
white is left audio,red is right audio and yellow is video
usually composite video.
some tv,s have an rca input some have two
and some have rca outputs
the sockets on the tv are also coloured to match the plugs
please check that the plugs are inserted into the correct
coloured input sockets
I would plug in the 3.5mm plug then the yellow untill i get video,once i have video i would connect the red plug untill i have sound,same with the white
yea that's weird, hate when stuff like that happens, double check all your connections etc. including cable. It may require calling mfr. tech support, which you will need model # name of unit etc. if a major brand, should have some tech support to go to
Right now there seems to be many people with the same TV problems with sony and HDMI cables. Most of the solutions are resetting the TV and sony product. Try leaving your TV unplugged for a hour to let it reset itself.
We had the same problem just this weekend. However, we investigated it ourselves and discovered that you can take the microphone apart by unscrewing the two small screws inside the mic, under the music chips. Once the screws are out pry the two halves apart very carefully. Once we were inside, we discovered that the soundcard was loose and all we had to do is plug the sound card back in. Close 'er up and start up the show. Good Luck!

I started back in the day of tubes. A family would have one set and it would be a 19" black and white.
There are different resolutions now.
The components probably do work, but, they don't pass the 480i signal. The satelite converter's analog signal needs to be set to 480p and the DVD needs to be set to progressive if it does have that setting. If the DVD is not a progressive scan DVD, then, the only inputs that it will show on is the analog signal.
Some of the dish converters have a switch on the face for changing the resolution.
If yours doesn't then put it in an analog source and go to the menu and change it there. Then move it to the component input.
Hope this helps.
It definitely does not seem to be a problem with the Picture Tube. More like a cold solder. It is definitley not a job for a layman. Also, get a good technician to have a look, as locating cold solders is a labourous and time consuming process. It could also be possible that the main DC filter capacitor is getting dry, and may require replacement.
