If you are connected directly to cable TV without a cable box or an external TV antenna, go into the menu system and let the TV autoprogram the channels. It might take quite some time especially if your TV has a digital tuner in it. I hope that helps : )

Possible that the main power has failed which is a SMPS unit. So remove power cord and open set to probe within the power supply unit.

Hi,

Problem is in either power supply or the Y-Sustain board.

The Y-Sustain is a relatively large board out of which go connections to the side of the display; it's therefore closer to either the left or the right side of the display, has at least one rather large heat sink on it and fat power cables connecting it to the main power supply.

Often there are fuses on that board - one or more. Check those.

if they are blown you can try to replace them, but expect them to blow again - usually the whole board needs to be replaced.

I hope this will help in solving the problem....

The CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluroscent Lamp) at the darker end is not lit. Either the CCFL is fused or the ballast is needing repairs.

If the TV is completely DEAD. Check the main fuse in the power supply. Replace the fuse with exact amperage. Make sure you unplug the TV before taking the cover off. If the power supply keeps blowing the fuse, replace the power supply. Be very careful high voltage can kill!

Best of luck

If your TV is still under warranty I would recommend sending it in. It sounds like the receiver on the TV is malfunctioning which isn't something that can generally be fixed or replaced by your local electronics store. Your best course of action would be to send the TV back to the manufacturer with a detailed list of what is happening. Most major retail outlets can assist you in getting your TV fixed or replaced through the manufacturer if you purchased the TV through them.

It might be on a zoom mode. There should be a option on your remote to change the aspect radio.

If the backlight is not working, there are many causes for it. It can be as simple as a bad capacitor that prevents the power supply from starting up completely to defective regulator transistors to defective driver transistors, etc.

If you have no experience working with electronics, you are best served by seeing a service shop.

If you are experienced and would like further guidance, please indicate this and we'll try to assist further.

Hello
The fault is due to its horizontal sync-seperator and horizontal phase detector section, and it is not user servicable. If you want to do it by yoursef, you must have thorugh knoledge in both digital and analogue electroncis, and a high quality digital multimeter to access these sections. A multimeter of the above said type will cost a lot, that it will be a great loos for you to muy such one, more that its service cost. Moreover, you must have a good concept of solering, a sodering iron with ceramic tip, a very steady and stable hand, more patience and concentration, A magnifying glass may also needed.
In my opinion, it will be best for you to get it repaired by a well experienced service technican, who have most modern testing equipments. Otherwise, things will go worse than present as it is. OK.

immediately open your back cover and check the capacitors. The capacitors may be damadge or some connectors may be lose.
