TV doesn't turn on.

The wavy when cold is a issue with a board in the set--Hyper board--the warmup until it begins to work will gradually get longer and longer.

The blue: look at set on a unused video input--if see faint curved blue lines with some blue visable on the screen the blue screen control needs to be adjusted just slightly down until the blue and curved lines are not seen.

Not much information for DIY repair. It is a portable machine suggest taking it to a repair center and request an estimate for repair.

Dead shorts such as this indicates from the successive breaker tripping are usually easy to troubleshoot by a qualified technician and could be an inexpensive repair.

It is a very dangerous condition, dead shorts are rare and can present a hazaderous condition for the user!!! Do not attempt any additional use.


Hope this helps?

Hello,
It's a convergence issue. Go into the main TV menu under video settings and look for convergence. If it has an auto convergnce select that and wait a minute the TV will adjust itself and give you a clear picture. If the TV does not have an auto convergence and just regular convergence than select this. It will give you a grid pattern on your TV and you have to move the curser (using TV remote) and adjust each "point" so that each line is perfectly white. If you notice red or blue anywhere on that "line" then you have to adjust using the up, down, left and right arrow keys to "line up the red and blue lines with the nearest white line. It taked time and patience to do, but when completed, all lines on the grid pattern should be pure white and you will have a great looking picture. You have to do this will all TV inputs (Video1, Video2 and so on) the reason Zoom looks good, is because you never used that screen as much and so the lenses didn't have a chance to get out of synch.
Take care in solving the problem...

Your convergence has failed and needs to be repaired. Once quick test is to goto your convergence menu and see if you can adjust red and blue. If not its has failed and needs to be fixed. You can call in a repair shop or you can get the parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com and do the repair yourself. Its a fairly easy DIY fix.

It may be a problem with your connection to your TV. The connection has to your tv also controls power on the PS3

HERE'S THE FIX: I just went through this with my Vizio VX37L. TV is stuck in RGB input. This is the fix.... TV is stuck in RGB input.
(option 1) Power on TV, and press the INPUT button repeatedly and rapidly until you can change to a different input, such as AV.
If that doesn't work, try:
(option 2) With the TV off, press and hold the INPUT button on the side of the TV for about 5 seconds. The TV should power on and the input list will appear. The TV will no longer be locked, and the INPUT button should function properly after that.

Option 2 worked for me!

Cheack your cables
All of them on all devices down the line.
If all cables are good then you probably have a bad solderjoint on the input itself witch is a cheap and easy fix in itself.

Try the following fix posted by stiv0. It worked for me. It gives detailed instructions how to replace two capacitors that commonly go bad on this TV. It's fairly easy to do and very inexpensive.

The safety circuit in the tv is sensing something is wrong and that is why it turn the tv off,it might be a regulator giving you more voltage that what he is supposed to give you.It should be a simple and inexpensive repair,get a qualified person to give you an estimate.
