The left side of my screen stay black for a few minutes when i turn it on then after a few minutes it fades in

The LCD and the build in light could be not working anymore and the screen is starting to die. There might be power supply issues or devices that are connected issues or the batteries are low in your remote control or there could be hardware problems with the TV.

T-Con board. If it was the power supply, there wouldn't be any picture at all.

There is a possible poor connection of component in your TV or poor solder or that would be the result of Power IC which is already defective...call a technician to fix the poor solder and or replace the IC that cause the problem

Sounds like you lost the power supply to guns, now this doen't mean you have to go looking for it, you will need a repair person to fix it. Word of advise, if you haven't had one of these fixed before it can range in upwards of 600.00 or more to fix now days.

Here is what you need to do.

1.) You need to remove the entire plastic piece below the front of the screen. You most likely will find 3 screws on either side in back that you have to remove.

2.) The grill will not come out easy, pull from one side and then when it starts to come loose from the other side(there are several plastic pegs that hold it in.) Then from the bottom pull out( most of these sets have square plastic tabs at the top that tuck in.)

3.) With the grill removed locate the inspection plate behind it (it usually has 6 screws.) You will have to tilt the grill to the left and on its side as several cables are connected to it--they are held in place with trash bag like ties that you can release to get some room.

4.) With the inspection plate removed you will see a fairly small (about 3 inch square) BLACK PLASTIC BLOCK WITH SIX CONTROLS-usually they are marked with whiteout so someone can tell if they have been adjusted.

5.) You need to look very close at the block with a flashlight----usually the top three controls are FOCUS--don't touch those.
The lower three are usually marked Screen and if you look very close you will see b, g, r(blue green red)

6.)Usually the blue will be on the bottom left--it does vary

7.) Once you locate the BLUE screen control have the set on and turn it down--if the set is shutting down you may have only a few seconds to try to turn it down---usually to the left with the Blue Screen control.

8.) Best way to do this if the set is on is on a video input with nothing connected--you turn the blue down until the set stays on and then very slowly turn it up until you see a slightly blue screen with or without diagonal trace lines----if you get it to turn on this way turn the blue screen back down slowly until the blue screen and trace lines just disappear.

Let me know if you get it to work--Like I said if it is shutting down you may have to slowly turn the blue screen down a few times to get it to stay on.

I do this here for free and if this helps you at all give me a vote here--it costs you nothing.

HELLO I CAN HELP WITH YOUR ACER THE PROPLEM YOU GOT IS THAT CONDENTSATION HAS GOTTEN IN TO YOUR PC OR LAPTOP AND HAS GOT ONE OF THE CERCITS WET TRY THIS PUT YOUR PC OR LAPTOP IN TO YOUR AIRING COBORD FOR 24 HOURS AND THAT SHOULD RESOLVE YOUR SCREEN PROPLEM

So, where are the answers?

i had the same problem with my last tv...turns out the solder joints on the board for the scart connector had become loose

It seems your set has a loose conection in the high voltage circuits,in fact by now it should have many loose conections in different areas like the power supply and the horizontal deflection circuits,if you are familiar with tv service you can use the information as the first step to take,some of the loose conections are hard to see even for the trained technician but the one giving you this problem should not be hard to see,if you are not too familiar with tv service be safe and call for assistance from a servicer a least for an estimate.
