I hope this is still useful for others. It's so embarrassingly easy anyone can at least TRY it before calling a tech if they have any friends that are computer savvy.

Try self taping screws. Get a couple sizes and use the smallest one that holds securely.

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors - Flickering screen - Screen image disappears after several seconds - Dim screen - Slow start - Power LED on, but no picture - Unusual colors and/or lines The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad. If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced. New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years. Check the cables, connectors and connections. Take it to a repair shop.

This could mean that the tuner board is bad. By saying "no image", does that mean that there is snow on the screen (i.e. from no signal received), or simply a black background or distorted image from bad reception? If the menu is displayed than that means that the image driving circuitry is working correctly.

Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

effect, try moving the TV to a different power outlet that has been tested and is known to be good.
