Question about Samsung TXN2745FP 27" TV

Black Screen, but menu shows up

I am having this problem on this tv I just got used, its like it is not getting any a/v input. the screen is just black, no snow, nothing, except the on screen menus seem to work fine. i have tried all a/v (but not component), and cable to no avail. sound gets louder and softer, but is snow only, not what is coming in. i've checked the input (a/v / cable, etc) and channels, they are correct, but nothing. no remote. I own a pawnshop and all my other tv's work from the same input, so thats not it. supposedly my employee that took it in tested it, but who knows. thankfully i've only got $60 into it, but is it worth fixing or calling a repairman? thanks!

...addtionally, there was no warning signs, this is all i've seen it do. it also makes a louder than normal noise at powerup (something i would expect to hear from an older tv). thanks!

If you are sure that it is connected right and tested the audio inputs because to do that you will need an original remote, then you have a bad tuner or input switcher IC and no I am afraid that the TV most likly is not worth fixing. Good Luck

How can I restore the tv picture to my tv combi

Make sure you haven't selected the wrong input using the input or source button on your remote control. You may have to cycle through several choice until you get to TV or Tuner or something similar. Cycle slowly, some TV's take a few seconds to render the picture one you choose a different input source.

Television comes on for a second and then screen turns black but tv still on

Does the OSD (on screen display) come up when you hit the menu button? If so try changing the input to the one you need.

HD50LPW42 screen is black with antenna inputs

It sounds to me like you have a tuner issue, I have seen this before. If you have a good picture from other sources and they have the same antenna input, the tuner is suspect.

I hope that this helps you solve your issue.
Thanks

Can't get rid of black box

You have your TV in the "Teletext" mode. Go into the TV menu and select the closed-captioning menu and turn off the text function. What you are seeing is the result of the TV's captioning circuit latching onto a false text pilot signal and then throwing up the black box on the screen.
