THat is something you will have to take to a shop to have fixed unless there is someone near you that does in home service.

When you tried turn on with remote control,the light was blinking?
I think that you need to replace the main board.

Whenever a television starts doing this the motherboard/main board and or power supply is usually at fault. The power supply can usually be rebuilt for around $150 depending upon the knowledge and skill of your local television repair shop. To replace the parts is usally more expensive then it would be to purchase another television ($300 and up). Are you sure this is the model number of your television because this model number is not for a CRT television. For troubleshooting you can unplug it overnight to try and power cycle it but it sounds like your problem is beyond doing any type of power cycle to get the television back going again. It would need the repair shop or to be discarded for another.

Dave, please note that the part number of the replacement T-con should match word for word with the part number of the board in your set or there will be problems. If you are sure that you have purchased the exact replacement but it still does not fix it, I am so sorry to tell you that its the LCD panel itself thats faulty. The Panel costs nearly as much a new set and the best thing you can do is to sell the working parts of the set on ebay to save on a replacement. The last thing I want to advice people is to throw away their sets, but here we do not have a choice. Sorry!

Hi, Check that the buttons on the remote and tv that they are not sticking. also replace the batteries in the remote. If it still keeps doing that bring it to a repair shop. Good luck.
Check the obvious that it could be.

Problems with these TVs not turning on are usually capacitor related. Take the back off then look on the power supply where the power chord goes look at the fuse next to the plug. See if it's physically dark if so, the fuse is most likely blown and you should just look up the board number on E-bay for a new power-supply for a more costly, but easier fix than a repair shop. While the back is off, look for capacitors that are puffed and see if they need to be replaced. There are usually 2 caps by a heat sink that look bulged.

This is the inverter board if this is the case. Try swapping one at a time because usually only one is bad.

go into your menu and click on sound options/volumn and change the output to tv speakers[or receiver if you are using one]. More than likely a button was accidentily pressed that changed this.

Please take a moment to rate :]
Hope this helped

The problem is the television is not getting the correct amount of power, so a breaker inside the tv is flipping, thats the click you hear, the problem could be within the TV itself or the outlet it is plugged into, try plugging the TV into another outlet and if the problem persists you will have to call either the store you bought it from or the manufacturer.
