My 4 year old HDTV picture no longer coming on- there is just white snow. originally thought it was connection to unit but checked that and still no picture .Could my video card have gone out??? Any help appreciated. Michelle(mother of little 4 y/o who is missing Diego/Dora-please help.

Based on the brand parts may not be available and six years is better than average life for this type of set.

What are you using for signal to the set? (Box?) and how are you connected? (HDMI?)

If HDMI try going Component

It may be the box/HDMI hook up causing the problem.

Age... Pure and simple. The backlighting and the display panel start to fail and the white is the first you start to notice, its probably not going to last a lot longer. Plasma tv's are nearly impossible to repair now days due to parts availability and service information, plasma tv's just went the way of the dodo bird, its all LCD now days. Ever time i get a plasma tv in for repair its generally headed for the recycling dumpster.

What happened when you selected HDTV is that you activated the output to the HDMI output. This turned off the regular connection. Press the power and reset button simultaneously when turning on the unit to return it to the factory default settings. Otherwise, you'll have to connect it to a HDTV with the optional cable to connect it (you'll have to purchase that as well) to go in and change the settings back.

I contacted Praktica Support and it seems that the camera is faulty and needs to be replaced. It was the white balance faulty.

I would replace the Lamp first. It is giving you a classic failure symptom.
I hope this helps,

Could it be vertical IC loose connection. It is sometimes connected with correct tuning. Check it for crack or wiggling connection best is to resolder.

lg plasma tv is not for a novice to play with. the three main circuit boards are control. y and z sustain and they are not repairable
find a shop that can replace the defective one for you.

Your tuner assembly has a bad connection inside of itself, or there is a bad connection around the tuner assy. if this is an ATC113 chassis Good Luck

Make sure the TV setting is set to or . A power surge may have reset your ?cable-ready? TV. Check the cable setting on your TV and make sure it is set to or . If a VCR is connected: * The VCR needs to be on channel 4. * VCR may not be ?fine-tuned? to channel 4. Locate and adjust the fine-tuning mechanism until the picture comes in clearly. * The <3/4> switch may be in the wrong position. Locate the switch on the back of the VCR and set it to <4>. If a converter is connected: * Make sure the TV is on channel 4. * TV may not be ?fine-tuned? to channel Locate and adjust the fine-tuning mechanism until the picture comes in clearly. * Determine if the converter is bad. Locate the cable wire coming in to the room and connect it directly to the back of the TV. If the picture is clear, your converter needs to be exchanged. Give us a call or stop by your local office and we?ll switch out your equipment. Check the fine-tuning of your TV
