My RCA 46 LCD has no picture or sound but the blue lights on?

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.

SAMSUNG TMS22WS Flickering Picture

1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor.
2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor.
3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on.
4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works).
5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord.
6. If the power light is on and yellow or flashing, but nothing displays, or the display is incorrect, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor probably needs replaced.

Monitor wont work

Try a different power cable. If it uses a 'brick' type power supply, try a different one. If that doe not fix it, the monitor is bad (which is why it was given to you). Monitors are cheap, get a new one. Good Luck.

The moniter blacked out, blue light is saying the moniter is still on, but screen looks like there is no power. When you turn on the moniter, the screen shows up for a few seconds, then blacks out again!...

Unplug power. Unplug VGA cable. Remove back of monitor. (four small Philips headed screws along the bottom rear. Remove screws attaching Monitor to it's base. Carefully, lean the screen away from back of case. Gently unplug 25 pin cable from the screen.
Connect AC power.
Screen should power on Gray to White. Ble light comes on Blue.Flickers then changes to Amber.
Reconnect VGA cable. Monitor should work.
Close up the monitor in reverse order to opening it.
If these steps don't solve your monitor, consider replacing as cost of repairs may shock you.

BLUE screen problem(monitor)

Hello,

It is the picture picture board on your monitor that is malfunctioning, since the power led or button is on, but blue shaded screen, it means the picture board of your monitor has developed fault.

The best thing for you to do now is to take the monitor to a local repairer within your vicinity or any service center to help with the replacement of the picture board because the fault is not something you can fix yourself, in order not to complicate issues.

Take care.

Black screen. Power light is on. Everything is plugged in properly. Rebooted several times. BLACK screen. Not even a flicker of light. HELP!

Have you tried reseating the cables? if not try it first, then if it doesn't work you'll notice that after you unplug the cable that's connecting the lcd from where it's plugged in , (make sure the lcd is on) if you see the colors that means the lcd is working properly if not then there is something wrong with the monitor, but if the colors came up the lcd is working fine,. Try to check where you plug it in.
