A red screen pops up - Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console

If this is a VO47LFHDTV20A TV set, the problem is most likely your LVDS(cable from the main board to the t-con)cable is faulty. When you turn the set on, do you have a red screen instead of the standard blue screen? Do you also have red tints on all images on all inputs? If this is the case, your LVDS cable is bad. If you are comfortable opening up your set, track down where the LVDS cable goes into the t-con board. Turn on the set, and wiggle the cable, if the red tinting goes away, you will need a LVDS cable, about $24 part.

Fully charge your iPod touch to prevent draining your battery during the factory reset.

Touch "Settings" on the device's Home screen.

Select "General" from the "Settings" menu.

Choose "Reset."

Select "Erase All Content and Settings." A confirmation window pops up on the bottom of the screen.

Touch the red confirmation button on the bottom of the screen.

hope this helps

This can be due to sparking from the EHT and so it is important that you open the set after removing the power to check. Clean the EHT, the HT wires and the CRT anode on the tube.
The pop might be the spark and guns seem to work with a bias when this happens, check on the CRT board on the base of the tube.

1. locate the Wireless communication switch/indicator at the front of 5050 just left of headphone jack.
2. slide switch momentarily to the right.
3. you should see "Wireless LAN Enabled" in green letters at the bottom of the screen
4. a little screen icon should appear in the Taskbar at the bottom right of the screen
5. if it has a little red x beside it, right click on it for more options.
6. if it has no red x, you were automatically connected to a wireless that is open (no security enabled)
7. with the red x and after the right click, in the pop-up, click on View Available Wireless Networks
8. in the Wireless Network Connections window, if no list then click on Refresh network list

13. the little screen icon should no longer have a red x beside it
14. hovering the mouse cursor over the icon will get a pop-up with wireless connection status

it means u have the red ring of death

This is called the "PS3 Red Screen Of Death" it's the same as the 360's RROD. The best solution would be to contact Sony about it and they should resolve the issue.It is generally a hardware issue.

Lamp inside TV is broken and requires replacement. Pop sound was its breaking sound.
Lamp replacement procedure is written in user manual, pretty easy.
Please buy Sony original lamp for TV safety and avoid aftermarket/ cheap lamp.
Let me know if you need to download user manual copy.
Thanks.

Good day sir, you are right I may say, the loss of red will cause the screen to go blue, the cable that connects to the lcd and mainboard usually has 3 wires, red green and blue, my guess is the red wire isnt connected properly. there are two terminals one on the LCD and one on the mainboard. better check both side of that cable. It may be caused by cold solder joints, due to the fact that it pops up occasionally, sad to say that any adjustments wont work. unless it is fixed. hope this may help. if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask again. thanks.

I had the same problem. In the water resevoir, there is a red flap that allows the dirty water to flow back into the water tank. Lift that flap up and there is a small red screen. Pop that screen out with a butter knife and rinse it out. I have dogs in my house and that screen was blocked by dog hair. I cleaned the screen, popped it back in and it works like a new machine. You would think Bissell would address this roblem on their web site but they don't.

It sounds like at least one of 3 "IHVT",s popped. in short, a "IHVT" is a high voltage transformer. It will have to be replaced along with any other parts that were damaged in the process.
They do produce a strong odor when they pop!!

It is repairable but at a price. there is a good chance that parts will have to be ordered.

you might consider buying a new LCD HDTV instead of fixing this one.
