My screen is black, I can hear talking but cannot get a picture. Has the picture tube gone out?

These TVs do not have a tube, You get tubes in CRT TVs only!

It could be the backlight screen inverter PCB has gone, to test if you shine a torch light at the screen with the TV on and can see a faint picture then it is probably the inverter.

could be what they call the inverter thats gone..or your screen has gone..to find out if its your screen thats faulty just put another monitor to your laptop using a vga cable ,if your windows show on the monitor then its your laptop screen or the inverter thats gone.

Turn up the brightness. Or; Your picture tube is fried.

ts will go into shutdown when a vertical issue is present but the audio will still continue to operate normally.

Yes it ur tv.Ur tv LCD inverter backlight board is dead.Change this board to get picture back.It a long board usally.Tries Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com for the board part.

Hello. With the computer and monitor OFF, disconnect the signal cable from the video card on your system. Next, turn on the monitor. There should be a bright green box with a pink outline of a video connector inside showing. If there isn't, and the monitor is definitely powered up, then there is an internal problem. If there IS a little green box, etc., the video card in your system is suspect.

• 1) When turning on the monitor, do you hear the sound of the high voltage initiating?(i.e. you should hear some type of electronic noise like a vibration or crackling of static on the picture tube)
• 2) If you do hear that high voltage kicking in, it may very well mean that the picture tube is dead and getting a replacement monitor is in your future.
• 3) If you don't hear the high voltage, quite possibly the transformer that produces it(called a flyback transformer) is defective.

Due to the vast array of inexpensive monitors available, you probably should consider getting a new unit--the cost of a new display will rival the cost of the repair--and you get a fresh warranty to boot. If the picture tube is gone, there's no choice.---Rick

The degasuss circuit is staying on. There is a coil of wire wrapped around the picture tube. Uplug it. The picture may or may not remain in proper color. Take it in for repair to be safe.

when problems occures with monitor is always with picture tube but some time less brightness is also reason for black screen
check brightness of your system i think it should be on maximum level and brightness is perfact so i said problem with picture tube. may be picture tube is gone...

sitnlisten - yes it does appear your pix tube is getting weak,but we may be able to turn up the flyback alittle to brighten up the picture.If you take the back off you will see the flyback-large black unit with a wire going to the round rubber cap on the back of the pix tube.Look at the flyback there are usually 2 adjusters one marked focus the other screen,just turn up the screen a little bit at a time.If you turn this up too much you will wind up with retrace lines on the screen.You may also want to check the pcboard ass'y for a sub bright adjust,and same thing small adjustments.If this don't help your pix tube may be too far gone.I hope this helps. cooltek Feb.1/08

Eliminate all other gear connected to the set and try it. If the problem goes away, you have a bad source piece of equipment. Like a VCR,DVD,etc....accordianman
