Apex gb4308 flashing blue screen and cycling channels

My newly acquired gb4308 is flashing a blue screen and appears to be cycling thru the channels one at a time with every flash. Only the blue projector is lighting up, but when I unplug the wire going into the verticaly oriented, metal enclosed board on the A/V (I think) board all 3 projectors light up and the cycling stops. No video or audio. Any ideas would be appreciated!! Thanks Ridler

Sounds like a power supply problem to me. Could be caused by the actual supply, or could be a component failure elswhere...accordianman

TV has no vision , only one channel has sound

your tv is locked!
If you have a blank screen with a red key on the bottom left, simply press the (function or F) button and the mute button at the same time. This will unlock the screen and allow you to view the channel as desired. • If your TV asks for a 4-digit code or password please enter 3308 or 6688 to unlock the screen or reset any preset rating levels. • If you have a GT2011J or GT2011S Television, hold the (Display) button for 10 seconds, it will unlock the screen. If password or code is requested, try 3308 or 6688.

Apex gb4308 multi colored horizontal bow in middle or screen.

This is not an "STK" problem. Your problem is VERTICAL. You need to check your vertical chip for damage CN301 and check around it for any bad parts or loose connections. I've seen loose connections on the chip itself cause it to self-destruct.
