Question about Panasonic PT-47WX42 47" Rear Projection Television

Color Fading Three days ago the picture suddenly became black and white. I turned the TV off and back on and all was fine. This happened with increasing frequency over recent days and now there is only a dull color and only when the color bar is on its highest setting. This is a Panasonic 47 inch wide screen projection TV that is about 4 years old.

Tv started to shut off here and there, then the

Hi,samsung has 3 major failures.The 1st one is the lamp, which averages 6000-8000 hrs 2-4 yrs.When it's about to go bad it shuts off and on or image won't come at all.You can find your part here:http://www.discount-merchant.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=BP9601472A Another problem that causes tv to shut off is the ballast,which is the board that powers the lamp.It makes clicking sounds and will cause pic to flicker.The other problem is the color wheel .The color wheel is a rotating disc that has a gamma of colors it spins at high rpms.The light of the lamp goes through it to create the colors on your tv.When it starts to go bad you will get color distortion ,black and white picture and sometimes you will hear humming noises.Have a bless one!

Only black and white

The same thing happened to my HLP5063W. Researching the internet forums I concluded the problem was with the color wheel, which I replaced. As it turns out the old one was completely smashed. Go to www.jangro.com for replacement instructions.

Lg 32lc2r, only showing picture in black and white

Make sure that the color control level is set to the default or 50% to start with. This should be in the Video menu.

The colour for the tuner and for the encoded base-band video uses a circuit area called the colour demodulator. It is possible that this cirucuit area has failed and needs servicing.

Toshiba 65hx81 65" Rear Projection tv. black & white color/green

Yep, your problem is a relatively easy one to repair if you know how to solder. You better repair it before it blows the fuse though. There are two capacitors in the main power supply that are coming loose and need to be re soldered. There is a Toshiba service bulletin about it. They are marked C809 and C810 on the main power supply board. Good Luck

FADING TO BLUE SCREEN

Sounds like you have a problem with the blue gun in your picture tube or its drive circuit. You might remove the back cover and gently tap on the neck of the picture tube using a plastic screwdriver handle while watching the screen in a mirrow. If the picture flashes back on or on and off then the picture tube is the problem. If this is a projection tv you have three separate tubes : red, green & blue. you'd need to tap the blut one.Gently!!!! Stargazer
