    I have a Dell W3000, No picture but have sound. Any Solutions?

  • stew1948 Sep 02, 2008

    I have a Dell W3000 LCD TV. I bought it 4 years ago. For the past 2 years I have had an intermittant problem when turning it on. Often times, I get the green power light on, I get sound through its speakers but no picture. I have to turn it on and off multiple times before the picture finally appears which can last up to 5 minutes. A repair person today told me its probably a faulty "back light" and parts don't exist. The entire "panel" would have to be changed.

    I wonder if Dell is aware of this and if they are doing anything about it.

    Sometimes I have to turn my TV on and off 5 or 6 times to get the picture to come on. The voice comes on, but not the picture.

    I have this tv and it has been doing that for about a year. Usually only a problem the first time I turn on the tv for the day. Takes a few power ups to get started.

Just fixed the second one of these for someone--was sound and at first loss of picture--then sound only---remove cover, remove metal shield over power and digital/signal board====take close look at both plugs from panel to digital board(top towards left) both units I have fixed the left plug and SOCKET were out of the board---detached---other plug looks ok---resolder left plug with very fine solder tip-----both sets had same trouble! good lead free solder?

Someone gave me a dell w3000 tv and i hooked up the speakers and cable line and plugged in. the tv button turns on and green light comes on but no picture or sound

I have this tv, and have had the EXACT problem. my solution was simple. just need patience if you take the back cover off of the monitor, there are 2 boards on the outside edges of the left and right of the monitor. these boards are covered by metal shields. remove the 3 screws on each board shield and slide them off.(careful this can be tricky) on the boards are 2 capacitors that need to be replaced. 4 total, 2 on each board. the capacitors are 150uf at 35 Volts. go to your local electronics repair shop to get the parts and tools needed to do this repair.
make sure to get the polarity of these caps right. stripe side on cap goes to the minus.

Hi there, i have a Dell tv model W3000 lately the tv does not turn on at all,i know power is there but the tv does not comes on. sometimes it comes on but it does not last....if i turn the tv off it does...

This is the way all of these fail. Don't buy Dell TV's.
Try this internet posted solution.
Turn on TV with remote control, if the TV does not light-up, find the Main Power Switch. Turn the switch off, then turn it on, the TV lights-up. Probably caused by poor contacts due to age and low quality parts.

Powers on intermently sometimes does sometimes doesn't

if power light indicator and no video, its the inverter/ backlight. If no power at all, its the power board.

Dell w3000 & PS3

This may not be DVI issue.
I connected DVD player HDMI ----> DVI ( Dell W3000) LCD TV.
Later I found that Dell TV version of DVI does not support HDCP protocol ( High Definition Content Protection protocol). So I could not play HDMI to DVI movies from my DVD player instead I use Y Pb Pr -- this works ok.

Hope this helps... I am not use PS3 enforces HDCP - I assume Sony linked with Sony Pictures would enforce HDCP on HDMI cable.

Dell tv w3000

Try turning the master power on and off a few times. Give it a few secs inbetween power offs and that should work. It's worked for me. Sometimes it takes longer that other times to show a picture.

Dell w3000 has green power on no video just audio only

Had same problem as described by others, green light, audio, but no picture. Decided to look inside. Layed the TV face down on three textbooks (1 at top & 1 at left & Right) so that back (9 large screws & 2 small screws) could be removed along with stand. From the power supply (board that 110v AC plugs into) there is a cable connected to a circuit board on the left (again looking from the back of the TV) covered by metal shielding. Unplug this cable clean the male contacts with a miniture wire brush (bought mine at Home Depot) & plug the cable back into the socket. With rubber gloves (just to be safe) plug the AC cord into the back of the TV & wall and turn on your TV. The bulbs should activate in 7 - 8 seconds. Reassemble the back of the TV & install the stand. Enjoy your TV Doug

DELL 26IN LCD model w2607c

some times it takes weeks or months. i've had twoo of theses tvs. leave it unplugged for a while. try a few days. when turnig it back on do not use the remote. hold the power button down for an extra two or three seconds. sometimes this will turn the tv on and off again, but sometimes this is the best way to get it to turn on if you have been having that problem. the best thing you can do is try extending your warranty from dell or having them ship you out a new one. once these things break there is really no fixing them and they only last a maximum of a couple years.

W3000

It's repairable, sounds like the main board, but try some other cables and sources to see if the same thing happens
