Question about GE 46GW 948 46" Rear Projection Television

Have sound and no picture GE 46GW 948

I have a GE 46GW 948 46 in. Rear Projection Television. It has tstarted to go black on me, but I can still get to the menu and see the no useable signal mseeages that it puts up when the DVD is disconnected. Further, I cam see closed captions when it goes black too. Unplugging it and letting it sit will make it work for a couple of hours. Thanks for the help

I've started to have the same issue. I had turned the TV off accidentally, and when I turned it on, I had sound but no picture. I tried the antenna and VID1/VID2, with no luck. Menu and all OSD info shows up fine... and I also see CC when the TV is muted.

Sounds like a loose solder connection on the Convergence board or the convergence power board. If you are savvy and electrically safe, tap on the boards with an insulated screwdriver to see which has the loose connection, and you can resolder to fix. Repair from a service center = $150-300

COLORS!!

When you replace a color wheel on the DLPs you have to index the color wheel properly or the tint will be messed up.

Shuts down after power up sound for a second then nothing

Just a guess but the capacitors are not susutainging enough power or a bad power supply

GE Rear Projection TV Color Alignment We have a major problem with our TV! Some days it shoes more blue than the rest, some days more red then the rest. But everyday its blurry as all get up! We have tried the converence thing in the front settings of the TV. But that doesnt help no matter how we align the lines. We have opened the back to find a 6 screw panel on the right which works great at some time but eventually goes back to what it was, sometimes the very next time we turn the TV on again. We also recently found a 10 oxegon shaped screw panel which we just started to mess with even though there is no labels to it. All I can tell is one of them will adjust the vertical alignment of the screen. Now what is wrong with our TV & how can we fix this on our own! We arent in any shape to buy a new TV & we are willing to do it ourselves if we can! Before we lose our eyesight trying to watch TV!

I have a GE GW948 which is about 15 years old, and recently the screen starts to brighten then darken. When it really get bright there are diagonal lines in the screen. Is it worth repairing? Je Seems to flicker more if it is left on...and warms up..

TV will not change channels I have had this 46" GE for about 12 years; great picture and sound. Recently it started having this unusual problem. It will not change channels. I first noticed it while turning on the DVD and you could hear the DVD playing while the tv remained on whatever channel it had been on (from the DISH tuner). While running some tests I noticed that no matter what channel I selected for the TV, ( 7 required for my Zenith VCR/DVD combo) the DISH feed remains on screen. If I entered channel 99, the tv doesn't recognize it and the picture remains on whatever channel the Dish receiver is set for. I have no idea where my manual is, but I think it's a problem with the tv's tuner. It will not allow the DVD/VCR to capture the tv screen. Electronically, it gives indications that the DVD/VCR isn't connected, but physically it is. Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this or anything similar to it.
