Yes...the video card could have gone out but most likely you have a connection that is loose or bad. I would check those first. If you have done so then I would try another video port and verify that it is the screen that is out and not just the port you are in.

SOURCE: there is no picture but have audio

Your mainboard is damaged and need to be replaced. in order to get a new one you will need a product code and model number, both located in the back of th TV next to serial number.

SOURCE: 37 INCH LCD HD NO PICTURE GREEN LIGHT ON, BUT NO SOUND

Unplug and replug it...it should work eventually.
I have the same problem with my 32".
But it eventually goes on when i try it a couple of times (the number of times is completely random...sometimes none, and sometimes like, 3).

Replace lower scan converter PCB, which plugged into Y-Sustainer Board, located to the left of the display if you poke back cover open. There are 2 of them, but in some models might be the one, long PCB.don't wait to fix it! otherwise, you will knock out Y-
Sustainer and upper scan converter. That will cause you to spend few hundreds to fix it.
Good luck,

THE MAGNAVOX PLASMA 42 INCH TV IT HAS SOUND BUT NO PICTURE ITS JUST BLACK

Did you check your cabling on the video input to the TV? I would try replacing the cables first. If that doesnt work I would try using a different source for the video than what you are using now. Do you have a seperate dvd or bluray player or even another cable box that has the same outputs as the source you currently cannot see? If so try using another one and if it still doesn't work then the culprit most likely lies within the TV.

42 inch ilo tv black picture sound only

If the fuse burned out the the tv would not turn on at all. When the tv is on is the back light still on? If its not its probably the back light that needs changing. If its on then its one of the circuit boards.

42 inch LG Plasma TV - Lost picture

Most likely what happened is one of the capacitors went bad. When a capacitors goes bad it produces a popping sound. This could be an easy and cheap fix if you find the bad capacitor or capacitors. The bad capacitor will have a bulging top most likely on the power board but could be anywhere.
