I have a RCA 52" HDTV bought new 3/2005.Today it acts up for the first time.When you turn it on it takes about 5-10 seconds for the screen to come up ,as it always has.the screen is solid green no pitcure or sound.After about 3-5 seconds the screen will flicker a couple times you here a pop sound deep inside and the tv powers down (off).You can turn it back on and the same thing.The power button light is green the whole time it 's on. Please help,thank you.
The common culprit for this problem is a defective Focus/Screen control block. It is located behind a removable panel in the front under the speaker grill. It is a little black box mounted up along the top of the opening with two rows of three openings for adjustment of the Red, Green and Blue "focus" and "Screen" (brightness) settings. They often get contaminated with dust which is attracted by the high voltage flowing through this block. It is held on by a single screw and has 9 push on/off wires into the back of it. The replacement is fairly straightforeward, just keep track of which wires go where. Leave the set unplugged and powered down for a day or so and the voltages should all have bled away to ground by then.
