Try taping on the top and sides to see if the set reacts and the color blue returns,if it does it is likely a loose conection and the repair should not be expensive and you already know whats wrong,if you are familiar with tv service this information will give a place to start but if you are not too familiar be safe and call fos assistance from a servicer.

How do you replace the ignition switch on a 2002 buick century?

What do you mean no sound when turning key ? Does the car start an run ? Or the car doesn't crank ? Ignition switch's do not work the same way they did in the old days , especially on GM vehicles . The ignition switch is an input to the BCM - body control module , the BCM processes these inputs an then energizes relays to turn things on . Also sends messages to other modules for them to turn on or energize relays .
The power mode signal may be as simple as a B+ input wired to a particular ignition switch contact. If this is also the B+ supply to the module/device, the module/device will only operate with the ignition contact closed to B+. An example of this is the starter relay when it is wired directly to the CRANK/START contact of the ignition switch. When the CRANK/START contacts are closed, the starter relay is energized and provides a current source to the starter and starter solenoid. When the ignition switch leaves the CRANK/START position, the switch contacts open and the starter relay is de-energized. This removes the current source from the starter and solenoid and the starter operation stops.
Serial Data Power Mode
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM receives 4 signals/circuits from the ignition switch. These are the Ignition 0, Ignition 1, Crank and Accessory 1 ignition switch signals/circuits.
To determine the correct power mode the BCM uses:
?€¢
The state of these signals/circuits, either switch closed (B+ = 1) or switch open (open = 0)

?€¢
The sequence of switch closures received by the BCM

?€¢
The status of the engine run flag.

Important: Any ignition switch states not covered in this table indicates a DTC setting situation.
The chart indicates the modes detected and transmitted by the BCM:

Fail-safe Operation
Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the BCM fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers modules with discrete ignition signal inputs as well as those modules using exclusively serial data control of power mode.
Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes stay in the state dictated by the last valid BCM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the BCM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to "RUN". In this state the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to "OFF-AWAKE". In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.
Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs also remain in the state dictated by the last valid BCM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, B+, the modules will fail-safe to the "RUN" power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 voltage, the modules will fail-safe to "OFF-AWAKE". In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.
You probably won't understand any of this info. your best but would be to take it to a qualified repair shop that has proper diagnostic test equipment !

Ignition switch for 2003 malibu ls

Ignition switch ? Key an lock cylinder or the electrical part ? The vehicle keeps running or you can't turn key to off ! Different thing's come into play depending on which is your problem ! If vehicle doesn't shut off (keeps running ) You need to know how it works !
An ignition switch isn't the same as back in the old days , it's a low voltage input to the BCM .
Serial Data Power Mode
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the Power Mode Master, PMM. On this vehicle the PMM is the BCM. The PMM receives 3 discreet ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Class 2 Serial Data circuit.
To determine the correct power mode the PMM uses the following circuits:
?€¢
Ignition 0

?€¢
Ignition 1 voltage

?€¢
Ignition 3 voltage

An you need a professional scan tool to deal with these problems !
Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits.

They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 voltage, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE.

I have a 2009 g envoy and when I turn my key it wont do anything.replaced the ignition switch and it has worked fine for about 5 months and now it is doing the same thing sometimes it will start right

On GM vehicles starting back in mid 2000's , maybe even before that. They started using inputs to the body control module from the ignition switch, from there the BCM controls all vehicle systems .
Power Mode Description and Operation
Serial Data Power Mode
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The BCM uses 3 signals from the ignition switch. These are the Ignition 0, Ignition 1, and Accessory.

You would need a scan tool that can read data from the BCM . What may be the problem is a lose connector , these pin's at connectors are tiny and doesn't take much for one to become lose.

This could be an ignition switch problem , a BCM - body control module , The ignition switch is a Discrete Ignition Signal to the vehicle BCM body control module . The Body Control Module (BCM) performs multiple body control functions. The BCM can control devices directly connected to its outputs based on input information. The BCM evaluates this information and controls certain body control systems by commanding outputs on or off. The BCM control inputs can be:

My Samsung SyncMaster 740N occasionally turns itself off. Timing varies and the condition varies. Usually the screen just goes black - from seconds to hours after it is turned on - the blue LED remains...

This could be because of the 'eco' friendliness of the monitor. Basically a lot of monitors are designed to turn off into a low power state when not in use so to preserve power and life of the monitor. I would return the monitor as the sensors that control this seem to be broken in your monitor.

The tv picture goes out

Sounds like the ballast has gone out. Samsung recommends replacing the smps board(power supply board) when you replace the ballast because it is the smps that takes out the ballast. replacing just the ballast ,machine may work ok for a short time but will destroy the new ballast fairly quickly.

try this test: put your PC into hibernate mode after the event of ..."After about an hour in this state, the screen will, after a further power on and off, resume normal operation. Functions perfectly...". Then force a hibernate state (START-SHUT DOWN-hold shift while hover STANDBY). Now, while in hibernate state, force a "resume Windows" state (space-bar on my PC). Any change on display to note? Hoping you answer yes, it is better now. If so, then continue with hibernate mode.
