The pic dont came out
Hi,This issue is related to a power problem in as much as the TV turns off on it's own.The problem is consistent with overheating on the power supply board of the TV. it might have worked fine in the past, but that's electronics for you. Power surge, irregular power supply, excess power supply, etc can affect the unit thereby making it to misbehave.The power supply board of the TV has few capacitors and IC. If any of these IC's gets short or become weak, it can cause the TV to turn off on it's own.When current passes from electric outlet to the power supply board of TV. The current also goes to the weak/faulty part, then the current stops or slow and the board overheats and TV shuts off on it's own.To solve this issue, check the power supply board and read it with a meter and continuity tester, in order to detect the faulty part and replace the faulty part on the board which is short due to which power supply boardYou can buy these capacitors at any Fry's or Radioshack store or you can order them online at vendors like "mcmelectronics.com"(look for electrolytic capacitors). After replacing these capacitor(capacitors) most likely the normal operation will be restored. Or you can by a refurbished complete power board from www/shopjimmy.com to save you some stress.Note: There may be also some other causes for this symptom ,like a defective T con board ,or main board,but the bulged top capacitors are the most common cause for this issue.If you don't have the ability to read the fault, then you might be needing the help of a repairman or you can call a friend that has the ability to help you out.I wish you the best of luck.Good luck.

We have a PD-800 dvd
unplug for 2 minutes, then plug back in. This works,If you haven't done this already, try a
different disc, preferably one it has played successfully before. If
another disc works, then take a look at the working side of the disc
that doesn't work and check for scratches or smudges. Or, if it's a
recordable disc, it may just be a brand that your player can't handle.
Every now and then, I even get a factory DVD that my player can't
handle.
If this is happening with any disc, even ones it has played
successfully, then we'll hope for dust on the laser lens. Get a lens
cleaning disc and try it. If that doesn't work, you may have to replace
the player.

I have a Protron 12"
This television has no digital tuner so you'll have to connect it to a cable box, satellite tv receiver, or converter box. If you can get an hd cable box or satellite tv receiver purchase a set of component cables and set your box or receiver to 720p in order for this television to display it properly. If you are using a converter box purchase composite cables. Familiarize yourself with the different inputs and how to switch them if you will be connecting multiple devices. There should be a source button, an input button, or the like on your remote. There may be one on your television as well. Each input choice corresponds to a plug in place on your television. There may not be a button at all; it may just be as simple as the ch button. With a little more information regarding the specific problem you are encountering I can provide more direct assistance.

I have a 40" Protron
Hello,
All Plasma and LCD TV have boards that control vertical and horizontal output to their respective areas. They are connected to the screen by ribbon cables. If one of these boards fails all together, has a failed chip, a bad connection, or a bad ground somewhere it will result in a black line in the area of that board. A bad ribbon cable connection on the bottom will result in a vertical black bar though the screen. Many times resetting the connection will fix it, if the ribbon cable has been nicked there could be a severed connection. They an sometimes be fixed, but it is a pain. An yes I have done it, but the bar is gone. The same will happen if the chip that outputs to that area opens. The connectors are the first place to look paying close attention to the cable, they are extremely delicate so great care must be taken if you decide to tinker with em, the usually have lift locks that release them, but it is very easy to wreck em. Good luck.
