No picture only got sound been told it could be

take it back if uve done all it said in manual

You burnt out the backlit lamp. unfortunately there is no easy fix for this. If still underwarranty great, if not... it will cost more to fix it then buy a new tv probably.

Something has definitely gone wrong. When picture fails, generally the audio will still play; but since the set is shutting down completely after a short time - it is going to more involved.

Firstly, anything can be fixed. The questions to ask are: 1) At what point do you stop spending money to repair a device that is XX years old? 2) How much would a replacement / upgrade cost?

Given that your set is an older SD (standard definition) with an old analog NTSC legacy tuner, it may be worth while to make the move to a digital HDTV. The picture quality will "blow away" any SD version of the same image / program that your old TV displayed. Unlike several years ago, the HDTV has come way down in price, too. A 32 inch, wide screen HDTV price starts at just $235 as results shown by a search in Google. In order to view HD signals, you'll need either 1) a plain UHF/VHF antenna (and local broadcasters in range), 2) HD cable TV service or, 3) HD satellite service. Cable and satellite providers offer SD service and for slightly more, HD service. Most people are not happy watching SD signals on an HD display - so you'll probably want to change the level of service if you're not using an antenna. Old DVD players only send SD signals, you might consider upgrading to a Blu-Ray player. Blu-Ray players provide SD and HD signals - depending on whether you insert an SD DVD or an HD Blu-Ray disk. The Blu-Ray players, like the HDTVs, have also dropped in price significantly.

See if you can find a place that provides free estimates. If not able to locate, find someone that will apply the cost of diagnostics (ask what the diagnostic fee is) to the total repair charge, and decide to either fix or replace.

I hope this helps and good luck! Please take a moment to rate my reply - thank you.

That happened to my new plasma TV 30 days after i bought it and the TV repair guy came an fixed it and i saw what he did and he told me that there are 3 circuit boards in back of TV and each one controls their areas, center circuit board was controlling the center screen of my TV which was where the lines were so he replaced it and the lines were gone. this board are usually on the bottom part of the TV and they look alike but they are not due to the connection location., i hoe this help

I assume you mean that your screen is showing signs of stress 7 the picture quality is suffering. This would mean a replacement screen is needed & as this is very costly then it is more economical to buy a new TV instead.

This sound like the problem. The DLP engine handles your picture

Nobody could guess that! it depends on where you are in the world. For Instance I am in australia network.
Call outs generally run to $AUD90 and $90 and hour Min 1 hour.
You do not say whethyer the power light lights up so its again guesswork.
If the power light IS lit then there is power from the wall to the primary coil of the power transformer. I would then suspect either the secondary transformer has failed, or that a fuse after the secondary and pre picture/sound module has blown. The power supply ( cant by bits) costs around $200. The fuse 0.60
add to the callout fees and you get some idea of the cost can cost half the value if a $1000 TV The plasma screen hasnt gone so that's always a plus and its rare for the video board and sound module to fail simultaneously. So my bet is the poer supply side and fuse

go into control pannel and acer hd set it there and also in sound, a wee bit of trial and error but its there. mine was the same, it cost me ouch on the phone! good luck mine works ok

video pcb cost 57.99 gbp

Good Day;
If you have digital cable box upgrade to HD box or Sat. box.
Good Luck, big IRISH.
