The dvd player plays well but the screen is dark so the picture is barely seen. Enough though I increase the color/brightness its still not showing the picture clearly...still dark.

Dark picture means you have low brightness on the screen. Please increase the brightness. Also try increasing the back light intensity.

If you visit FarenheitUSA com Support you can download the manual for your unit (free).

increase the screen brightness... you can also go to the settings and check for color distribution....

The LED backlight went out. This happened to mine. It's the light that makes the screen bright. If you take it to an electronic repair shop, they should do it for around $30 dollars or so. Good luck!

there should be a menu button on the controler u can access the brighten button simply turn up the brightness

try to chenge the brightness.

That's the battery saver feature of that Philips portable. If you use an A/C power adapter, the light will stay bright.

Hope this helps!

Hi kseguin

Your TV has internal problem @ video stage on the circuit
But you may try to apply resoldering on the circuit board near flyback and CRT circuit board.

If it uses the same technology as a laptop screen, there is 2 backlights behind the screen, they are like very thin fluorescent tubes (cold cathode) and there is a power supply that these use. It may have gone out like many PC's bad displays. I think it is due for replacement or an operation if you are skilled enough. Might just be an unseated ribbon cable which can be fixed by yourself.

I have seen this problem before this is caused by a failure of the backlight which provides illumination for the LCD screen. You may also want to check the inverter also since it fails often and interacts with the backlight.
