My cable went out during a thunderstorm. The

From what you explained, the power board is good. just replace the main TV board.

I'd start with a new main board, a tcon board could cause it to be blue as well but its not as likely

tried to hooked up with an air antenna. if you can not get any channel and just a white raster or snow, it could be the tuner get fried.

Unplug it and take the back off. Look too see if the fuse right next to the power cord is black. Replace it. If it pops again, you have damaged the board and need a repair guy. Look for any burnt parts before replacing the fuse.

I have seen a few cases when all that is necessary to repair would be to replace the power fuse. In worst cases transistors and resistors will be blown. You will have to find a TV tech to inspect the power supply. Give me a few hands and thanks for asking!

The television may be repairable most tv shops ask a $20 fee to look at and tell youyes or know as to how to get rid of it if you dont want to bother with it all take it to your local dump and pay $10 for correct disposal.

The board where the a/c power cord go into it.That ur power supply board,that board is dead,replaced this board.U will have ur power back.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a reburbish power supply board for the replcement.

Go to main menu, turn off sleep mode, then find the "autoprogram" feature and select it.
THis will program all available channels, just make sure you tv is set to AIR for regular tv and CATV if you have cable.

The thunderstorm may have reset the television. Hopefully there is no damage done to the tuner

Have you had any thunderstorms recently in your area? if so, this could be a pulse sent threw your system form an electrical storm. this happens often during dangerous thunderstorm activity. Also, your electrical wiring in your home can produce this as well due to a faulty circuit breaker box or lose ceiling fan hook ups. the best scenario could be a defective product. this way, you can get a full refund or a replacement set up.

If your DVD player is separate from your tv, you might have a loose cable plug or connection. Depending on the type of flicker you have, a vertical circuit loose connection would cause this. If you could connect it to a cable or antenna it might tell you where the problem is located. A faulty circuit in the DVD might cause this too. Stargazer
