MY HP TV CHANGES INPUT SIGNAL BY ITSELF

Main system control memory IC fault. This is a very small IC; have 8 solder terminals, and can be located very near to the main system control-chroma IC. Check and replace it. Be sure to replace it with the same number printed on it; in all respect. Otherwise, it won't go. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Before replacing it, try a reset to this set, and then check. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here.

I have a Hewlett Packard 42 " plasma it has no picture or sound what could it be please help

Fault to the main power supply regulator board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

I have a hp plasma TV 55 about 9 years old there are red dots all over screen in the dark areas. Is the TV shot or can it be repaired?

It might be repairable, but the repair will likely cost you triple what a new TV will cost.

Have same tv HP 42 plasma, red light is on but no image or sound. all I can hear is a click sound when I first plugged it and another one followed few seconds after. what could be the problem?

Many LED TVs and other electronics have bad capacitors on their power supply boards. You can visually inspect them by opening the TV and looking for capacitors with bulging tops. If tou see any, replace them all in the power board section. Check to see if your TV is still under warranty first though.

I have a Grainy Screen with Horizontal lines, There is picture behind this. Is this th Ysus Board? I have a HP PL4260N 42 In

Is it only when connected to the computer? If so there are several settings that could be causing the issue. The biggest is the refresh rate, make sure it's set to a max of 60HZ. Also make sure the resolution is not set to high. If your TV is 720p it's 1280x720, for 1080p it's 1920x1080 MAX! Also make sure the cable is tight on both ends. If all this is okay, it may be a hardware issue, but it's doubtful. Try hooking the computer to another TV. If it's not a computer the issue is most likely either the source resolution or the cable. Good luck

I have a HP PL4260N that works fine except for a whiteish hazy patch that will show up on the screen in various spots at times. Also when I have a picture up that is mostly white, like this web page,

The buzzing is normal thing, because white screen requires most power and your chopper works at its max. The sound comes from inductance coils and transformer because of old isolation and glue which shouldnt make any problems.

No sound when connecting dvd player with HDMI cable

HDMI is prone to audio issues---it does not for example like being connected at either end with the units powered up and or on.Try disconnection of power to both units for a short time--do it with the HDMI disconnected. Then connect HDMI back at both ends and power the units on----it cannot hurt and it may help.The other alternatives are the HDMI in the set is acting up or even bad---If the player has Component outputs try going that way to the set---I have never been able to see a difference in picture or sound quality from component to HDMI.The only advantage it has is less cables in my view.
