The screen goes black but the sound is fine. If I unplug the cabe to the 6870C-0193A board, the TV will work for a few days and then it goes black again.

Intermittent problems are the hardest to solve.
You did not give a make and model but based on the part you gave I think it is a
Toshiba 37AV500U or a Toshiba 37AV502U or a Visio VW37L HDTV40A or similar model.

The part number you gave is a T-CON board which drives the LCD screen.
This board sell on the internet for between $30 to $75.

Normally if the screen goes black it is an inverter/backlight problem. Disconnect/Connect it in case the connection is tarnished.
Since you are working inside the set I assume you know something about electronics repair and the warranty has expired.
The next time it goes black, place a bright flashlight against the screen and see if you can see and image around the edge of the flashlight. If so the inverter is not working.
Try gently pushing on the cable to the board and see if it affects the screen. Bad T-CON/connection usually causes lines on the screen or parts of the screen display to be missing.

You can replace the most likely board and see what happens. Even if you replace both boards it will still be less expensive than taking it to a shop.

I have a Vizio VF550XVT1A. First problem was a flickering screen that ended with the TV turning off. I replaced both invertor boards and the TV seemed to work fine for a few weeks. Now the TV works fine...

Good day sir Alfred!!!!

If your screen turns to back after a minutes but the sounds is normal..That problem is very common to all flat panel specially to LCD TV..

OK,I need to know first if your TV having a back-light when the picture went out after a minutes.If that so the possible problem is T-CON board (this board is the responsible to produce a video on all LCD TV)..

If you don't have back-light the problem is inverter board again..But before you order or install new inverter board try to find why the inverter board gone only on few weeks after you install it..the possible problem why the inverter board faulty for the short period of time is higher/lower input voltages (24vdc) comes from power supply..try to check it using volt meter or multimeter tester..it should be read 24vdc on meter..let me know if the voltage drop or higher to 24..

If the 24vdc is fine the only problem is the condition of inverter board maybe its used or partially faulty when you buy it..

if you have more queries and clarification regarding my solution please feel free to reply on this tread...

Hope it helps..

Thanks for using fixya..

Screen goes black and whte and freezes

Does it do it on all connections IE: DVD, Cabe, VCR? if it does than most likely a bad digital board in the TV. If only on one connection you see this then suspect intermittent connections to that device or a bad cable.

TV screen goes black, sometimes for hours

This model series had a odd problem that caused this. It was the Hoizonal wire connctors for the yoke. If my memory serves me right, the Yoke wire harness went from Yoke to Yoke and plugged in at the casing of each yoke. What I found is the solder connection on the small board of each Yoke was intermitent. Please be careful if you choose to tackle this. It is in a HV Area.
Hope this helps,

TV Picture Goes Black

I had the same exact problem.
I removed the bulb and cleaned it. There is a small screen at the top of the bulb and it was covered with dust. Once it was cleaned I replaced the bulb and it solved the problem.
