Hello heck75,

I wrote this for another post but it applies here also:
This sounds like your inverter or back-light has gone out. What you can do to test this is to turn the TV on and then turn off all of the lights until the room is dark. Then shine a flashlight at an angle on the screen and see if you can see a picture. If you can the back-light and or inverter has malfunctioned. If this is the case, then I would suggest that you have a qualified TV technician fix this problem, but first ask for a estimate because the inverters and back-lights are sometimes part of the screen and is it is you might as well buy a new TV.

If the inverter is a separate board, If you have a background in electronics you might be able to repair the board, however if you do not have a background in electronics, again I would suggest getting a qualified TV technician to work on your set.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,
