42PM3MV turns on, but displays nothing on screen

When I power the TV on, it clicks, light goes from red to green. But nothing shows on the screen. You don't even see the panel fire on.

This is a monitor with no tuner. It was on 24/7.

sorry you said tv so i assumed the tv, the monitor is likley had it or it could be the graphics card you mention it was on all the time so it may have burned out the indicators will still come on but no image will appear if you can try a different monitor if that works then the obvious else its gotta be the card.

Hi,

Please unplug your tv for 20 second and plug back in before checking your screen. If the problem still exists, please use your remote to check that you're displaying the correct hdmi input that you've plugged into the back of your tv (ie hdmi 1, 2, 3 etc). If you're not displaying the correct input, then your tv won't show what you want to watch.

Thank you.

Trying to replace lamp in HDTV and having trouble. Does not function correctly after putting in new bulb. Boots up and then visuals go black and the green power light keeps flashing. Help?

Panasonic DLP TV Bulbs

Make sure its an original Osram or Philips bulb inside the housing. If its a cheap lamp it will act this way. If it is an original lamp, then you may have a power supply issue. It shouldn't affect your TV but you may want to try resetting the lamp timer by following the instructions that came with the lamp.

TY-LA1001 Timer reset

While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the number 0 button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

Sony bravia kdl55hx729 3d led tv turns on 3 seconds shows picture than four red flashes

Hello,
the error light sequence that you are seeing is indicating a "backlight error". Most likely you have a bad inverter board -the board that powers up the back-lights behind the display panel. They might be available via ebay if you are a DIYer, or you need to call for sony service.
Good Luck!

My panasonic th-42pwd8uk tv wont power on. When I press power it clicks to turn on then clicks again and the screen never shows up. No red lights no blinking lights just a solid green light.

Check the capacitors and replace the power components. It is an easy fix if handy with soldering electronics. Tv Repairman may charge less than $100.00 bucks to fix it !
Good luck
