Lamp burnout? ok well i have had the tv for almost an entire year now. The other day i switched my lamp setting from low power to high bright. the very next time i tried to turn on the tv all i can get is sound from each channel and the flashing yellow light in the center. there isnt a picture at all. the tv will continue to have the yellow light flashing until the tv turns off and resets with out me touching any thing and it will continue to reset (basically turn on and off) until i turn it off with either the remote or on the tv. Basically, i turn the tv on and i get sound without a single bit of picture and then it will turn off and then back on until i turn it off myself. whats the deal? do i have a burnt out lamp bulb?

head lamps bad?
no car told but just FORD
maker ,model, year and country. no told all.
high and low beams it is called.
the cars WITH DRL are much more complex.
got Daylight running lamps,
means key on, HL off, started driving ,hand brake off
low beams blow 1/2 bright, seen CANADA BIG TIME
and not ever required in USA> ever.

bad connection or bad earth check all connection or bulb

Without a brand AND model number or a better description of the problem, any suggestions would be nothing more than a guess.

Unless you are prepared to repair the TV yourself, professionally performed repair, even simplest ones, will probably exceed the cost of a new LCD replacement set.

Due to X-ray and other safety concerns (equipment and/or people), CRT TVs constantly check the voltages and signals required to make a CRT work. A few seconds grace is allowed during start up but after that, any excessive high voltage (real or imagined) or loss of beam deflection circuits will cause the TV to turn off.

Please do the following:
1. Move the TV to a quiet and preferable totally dark room.
Wait until night if necessary.

2. Stand within an inch or closer to the TV screen.

3. Turn on the TV and look and listen for the following:

a. Whoosh sound and/or head hair attracted toward TV screen
Yes. High voltage activated and charged CRT screen.
No. High voltage failed to activate.

b. Hissing or normal sounds from the speaker(s) while set is on.
Low voltage circuits probably okay. Defective low voltage regulator can cause high voltage to exceed limits.

c. Entire screen briefly lit up or single bright spot at center of TV screen

High voltage worked for a moment then the TV shut off due to over voltage or current problems.

d. Brief bright line from top to bottom or single bright dot on TV screen

horizontal deflection circuits bad
vertical deflection circuits ok
TV shut off due to bad deflection/sweep circuit

e. Brief bright line from left to right on TV screen

horizontal deflection circuits bad
vertical deflection circuits ok
TV shut off due to bad deflection/sweep circuit

It would be helpful for you to perform the above "up close and personal turn the TV on test" and report what happened.

Hello
If you set the lamp mode to LOW POWER, each time you turn ON the TV the lamp will start out at HIGH BRIGHT mode, but will switch to Low Power mode after a short period of time. You may notice a change in screen brightness when this happens. This is not a malfunction.
Just check whether you have selected this mode. Go to its user manual [P57]. All details are there about the lamp brightness settings. If it is not set to Low Power and still you get a dim picture, the lamp may be weak and has to be repaced. OK.

Hello

You are refering about energy saving function I thinks. To energise this function, surf through its menu and come towards energy saver.

This power saving feature reduces the backlight

brightness level. The options are:

• OFF-the feature is off and the power consumption

is normal.

• LOW-power saving level is low and the backlight

brightness level is lower than normal.

• HIGH-power saving level is high and the backlight

brightness is set to the lowest level.

1 Use the CURSOR Up or Down keys to highlight

Energy Saver. Press ENTER.

2 Use the CURSOR Up or Down keys to select Off, Low,
or High.

NOTE:The Energy Saver settings level varies with
the Picture / Sound mode.
OK.

hi,
check the brightness setting on ur tv. if u have already checked it, then check ur tvs lamp. its time to replase the lamp. may be its reflector get damaged. thats why the brightness is low.
ok

This might be a sign of a faulty LCD cable or screen inverter board.
The LCD cable transfers data signal from the motherboard & video card to the LCD screen. It also supplies high voltage DC power to the screen inverter board. The screen inverter board works as a power supply for the backlight lamp mounted inside the LCD screen. It converts low voltage DC power to high voltage AC power needed for the backlight lamp.

could be the switch. did you do anything to the switch when you changedheadlamps? maybe you put the lamp in incorrectly also did the brights work on the lamp that was "burned out"?

I just got mine back from the shop withe a similar issue. The picture would dim especially with dark scenes and you could actually hear the lamp popping and clicking. It was not consistent enough that I had to video tape the issue for the technicians. In short, they decided that the ballast was faulty, unfortunately, the only way to replace the ballast is to replace the entire light engine. The part is about $320 and they also replaced the lamp for $150. The extended warranty would have only covered parts I believe so you may have ended up OK.
