Cracked lcd greetings. i just put my lcd hdtv on a flat table for a second to connect a component cable. when i mounted it on the wall and started it it now is cracked. the tv is only 3 months old and also has an extended warranty. any advice, thoughts most appreciated.

Good luck with that. As soon as these sets go out of production, so do most of the parts associated with them. You would be better served to get a TV table stand that uses a wall-mount-style backer. That way you get the tabletop mount and the extra security of knowing it won't get knocked over easily. Something like this....

Some stands come with a mount that looks like a wall mount, ready to mount to the TV. If not then use the table top stand that came with the TV

Depending on the production serie and the country in which it was sold the bolts that secure the foot stand are at the rear of it (4 of it) or at the bottom - 2 of them - you will have to put the tv flat down on a table to access them.

Quite possibly as it can cope with NTSC and PAL

I had this problem on my 42" Philips LCD. Just got it yesterday and worked fine on the tv stand. As soon as I mounted the TV to the wall via wall mount system, I had the exact same issue you did. Figured it out today.

The wall mount was putting pressure against the center of the back of the tv (tv set had a slightly rounded back plate, and the mount was a flat plate). As soon as I put spacers (part of the wall mount hardware set) between the wall mount braket and the tv so there was no contact except at the mounting holes, the tv worked fine.

My theory is the pressure pushed the tv back plate against some board components which caused them to overheat (no air flow); or put pressure on internal connectors. I dont know.

Hope this helps, may not apply to your situation.

Attach finished 1x4s to the two studs. Attach telelvision bracket to the 1x4.

No probably not The Brd he is talking about is the BU Brd does your component video work

If this is a new set, return it for an exchange. This one sounds like an LCD set which uses a "back light". This back light is not working. This is a warranty repair or exchange.
