Sounds like not only is your backlight going but you have a bad case of dead pixels. You can do 1 of 3 things...
Turn your unit in under warranty for repair
If your unit is no longer in warranty you can brave taking it apart and replacing the glass unit and back lights yourself... Find the make/model of the screen after removing the plastic casing and type it in on either of the bottom sites,
www.sparepartswarehouse.com
www.laptopscreens.com
Or last option, sell it on ebay and lie lie lie about the quality of the unit and make sure that somewhere on the listing you put as is
TV losing its channel memory
I had the same problem. I replaced the EEPROM marked U33 (it's a 24C32 in a smd package) and the TV worked fine.
BEFORE replacing the EEPROM you have to go into the Service Menu (hold down VOL- and CH+ on the local command) and take a note of all the values, specially the R,G,B gain and R,G,B bias, in the "standard" picture mode as well as in the "Cold" picture as well as in the "Warm" picture mode.
(if you forgot to do this, here are my default values:
R gain: 434
G gain: 482
B gain: 484
R bias: 270
G bias: 270
B bias: 264
then you put the "Cold" image mode and set again those values, increasing the G bias to about 300 and the B bias to about 310.
then put the "Warm" image mode and set again those values, increasing the R bias to about 300 and the G bias to about 280)
The other values such as brightness, contrast etc, have to be left at 50.
I hope this solution will FixYa!
