The 2 long boards call the LCD inverter boards is dead.That why ur tv is not getting a backlight to ur LCD screen panel to get the picture.Take ur tv aparts change the 2 long LCD inverter boards,u will get a backlight back to the LCD screen an get the picture.Tries websites like shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy the 2 long inverter boards for the replacement.

It is not used everyday but he power supply is running 24/7.
There two possibilties:
1) There is no 24vdc from power supply module for feeding the backlight inverter board, look for bad caps with elaking./bulging top.
2) Inverter board is bad, blown fuses, transistors, etc.

This would be either bad TCon or bad display.
It is possible that a bad display may result in bad TCon.
You have very little - if any - chance to fix the display if it is bad.
But you can try and replace the TCon to see if that will cure it.

Prices on eBay seem insane, but for your luck SJ has it at a VERY LOW price right now:

Make sure you have the same thing in your TV before purchasing, though...sometimes even I am wrong :-)

Hope this helped!

connect from your picture out on projector to your vidio in on TV.

You have problems with your inverters. Inverters will light the screen. In your case I believe this will solve your problem!......But in the event you moved your cable connections to install a DVR or satellite box or high def box, See if you may have improperly misplugged the yellow cable. A common fault by do it your selfers! Please check this before you see a TV tech!

This all depends on what you want to do. watch TV, play games , watch dvd's... there is no region code associated with the TV, but you might want to check if your TV supports pal and ntsc.

you can try to move the lvsd cabel,the cable from the signalboard to the panel

Hi...

Check your internal menu settings . The internal speakers may be turrned off in software

On the remote control - you Press the dot (.) for digital channels.

The power supply aka high-voltage transformer may be bad. It is very common. You can try and test it with a voltmeter. It should have the same reading as the label on back of tv does. - DC Voltage Output

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Two things that will cause the NO SIGNAL message to come up are, No data available for closed captioning and a weak signal input. Your TV is in the Closed Captioning Mode. To turn of simply bring up the on screen menu and scroll down to the part that says closed captioning and turn this function off! With the closed captioning block displayed and the program being viewed is not sending out closed captioning signals the TV will display, No Signal!

If this doesn’t resolve your issue then the problem may be with the processor failing and it is causing a random read of the EPROM to display the not available message.

I’ll suggest you to run the HDMI from the PVR (personal video recorder) directly to the TV (mute the TV), and then run the optical audio from the PVR directly into the receiver's optical in. The closed captioning is something that is addressed in analog broadcasts, but not necessarily digital broadcasts

Try using Component cables if this doesn’t make a difference. After using components cables your issue will be resolved.


Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

Best Buy has some of the best LCD cleaner I have found. All I can suggest is try that. Spray your screen and then clean it good with a soft microfiber cloth that comes with the cleaner.

in most cases you must have a video card that supports tv.s will have a special plug in it and a cable

It sounds like your LVDS cable along with the ribbon cable to the lcd panel needs to be cleaned and re-seated. I recommend a service company to do the work. It's not expensive.

I don't think thats the problem, You need a cable TV Box with a paid subscription.

i need the code to programe the remote to a philips tv

Shine a light down the screen in a dark room with t.v. on. If you can see picture, it's the inverters. They can be purchased for less than $50 each. We had ours repaired for a total of $250 for dx and repair.

It is the inverters. Just found a shop off ShopJimmy.com that showed us how to check the screen. Turn off room lights with t.v. on. Shine a flashlight down the screen and if you see the picture, it's the inverters. Less than $250 for dx and repair. Very happy!
