My television was recently repaired and the guy said that I needed to reset the tv. The power comes on but the screen is still black. How do I reset the TV

Due to the cost of repairing this I would just replace the TV

We had a TV repair guy come out as our television was doing the same thing black screen with sound. Well he told us unless we want to replace the screen the television was done. Best of luck we just bought a new one.

Hi Randy,
You have not mentioned the brand and model no. of your tv. Recently I repaired a Samsung smart LED tv for the same fault. One of the Light Emitting Diodes ie. led in the back lights was not functioning. The fault is repairable if you find someone who can open the led panel and repair it.
Good Luck

Nothing at all? Does the screen seem to go from dark black to a lighter shade of black?

If the screen appears to stay on the darker shade of black then it is broken, and needs to be sent for repair. ( ie the screen isnt powering on when the tv is and there is nothing you can do without opening it.

You might try unplugging all cables and leaving it off with no power for a day This is in effect performing a factory reset.

and this may sound stupid and patronizing but is the TV being taken out of standby mode and actually switched on?

Hi, you need to get your TV kit replaced... Please reply with the model number of your TV if you repairing it by your own.

Black Screen come from three areas. 1- Power Supply Board 2- Inverter Board 3- Processing Board on the LCD. Since the Power Supply Board was replace, it easy to troubleshoot where the problem. lies If you cannot get the backlight, then its the inverter board. If you can use a flash light on the TV screen and can barely see the images, then the problem is indeed the inverter board. If you cannot see any images when using a flash light, then the problem comes from the LCD processing board. Let me know if you have any success. Mike

If it was the lamp it would do it with DVDS too! I would ask for a new reciver because the only way the tv guy could moniter your tv picture is through the same box and tv! you need to compare....if you have another box in your house switch them and see what happens...sounds like a signal problem!

Call or email the BBB and report GE

I have the same problem... powers on, but black screen, flickers a bit. Any ideas

You have a cap on the powersupply going bad. it can be replaced but you will have to take the back of the unit apart to find out witch one it is. look for one that is swelling at the top.
