No picture I hope that you can give me a clue what I may be doing wrong...or is the machine faulty? The menus come up on the screen O.K., but it will not show anything on it that the lens is pointed at. It's just a blank light grey screen (apart from the menus). Can this be fixed? Thank you. John, Adelaide.

I just wrote a lengthy comment, but it seemed to suddenly disappear into cyberspace. Did you get it? Let me know. John.

My original answer to your problem disappeared somewhere into cyberspace (I think that I pressed the wrong button). Anyhow...here is what happened.to me: I got an answer from another web site, and he said to take out all the ribbon leads and clean the ends. Unfortunately, you would need an electron microscope and tweezers to do that. I gave up, and took it into an agent to get a quote. The first one quoted me nearly $800, the second less than $200. The second one did the job and it worked great! I am still having a few teething problems, but it's not the camera's fault...it's mine. I'll have to read up on the manual, which I had to download from The Net, as I had lost the original one. It's 60 pages long! Hope that this has been of some help to you. JOHN.

47led55sa half the screen is black

Hello Kathy, now since i dont have a picture of the screen i cannot tell exactly what is wrong, but if i had to take a well educated guess it would be that one of the wired that feed into the screen is damaged or faulty . Take it to your local tech shop and they can fix this problem easily, though rates differ from place to place i would give a rough assumtion of $25-$30 for a proper fix. Hope this helped ;)

I have a Sony DSLR A-300 and the lcd screen on the back of the camera goes white when I take pictures. How to fix this?

The camera has live-view, so is the LCD always white? Can you play back old pictures or view menus properly? Do your pictures turn out white or are they ok?

If it's always white and you can't see anything, you need the LCD replaced or the cable going from the main PCB to the LCD replaced. 99% likely the LCD, not the cable.

If you can playback old pictures and view menus... but NEW pictures turn out white then it's not a problem with the LCD screen at all, it's the CMOS or something else.

Without knowing more detail it's hard to say exactly what's wrong, but it definitely sounds like the camera needs repair.

Tv has no picture. I was connecting RCA cable from my computer to tv and put the wrong connections on to the tv, now the picture is gone but the sound still works and also does the on-screen settings

I would suspect the backlight inverter is faulty:

I would try to look on the power supply first for popped capacitors that supply the 24v rail for the backlight inverter.

Having sound is a positive when it comes to repair. This means that only your screen is not lighting.

If you repair the 24v line and check the 5v feed also going to the BN_on (on) the backlight inverter and you still have no picture...you will need a new inverter.

If you have menus then you may have also shorted your mainboard (AKA tuner board)

Hi
Hope is might help , if the others colours red and green are showing on the screen then resetting the grey scale as per service manual might clear the problem , but if one colour is missing then voltage cheek,s of the cathode voltage on the tube might give a clue to the fault a possibity might be a fault in the tube. regards Derrick.

Outdoor pictures give white display on screen

Go to the menus and reset to default or factory settings. Make sure that the white setting in the picture adjustments in the menus are set to zero or you may have to adjust + or - to get the normal effect again.
Test the camera by taking pictures and saving to a sd card. Then put the card in a card reader/writer which is connected to the computer. Copy the pictures or files to the computer and view them to see if they are in good shape or if there is some problem with exposure or the way it looks.
If the computer pictures show that they are good, and they are not showing good on the camera LCD, then the LCD has a problem, and is possibly either cracked or has some other display problem.
These LCD screens are not that hard to change if you are good at working with small items and screws. If you do this, make sure you have a way to remember where you got each screw, as they can vary in size and kind.

Partial black screen

A number of things could be wrong.
See if you can get the menus to work correctly.
If you can see the menus then the problem is not in the playback system, but in the taking part of the camera.
Could be a ccd problem if the menus are okay.
If you can get the menus, set all to default, and then test it.
If the menus also shows the bad picture details as you have described, then the camera needs repair.

My camera's screen wont turn on all the way...what is wrong??

Hi

Can you see menus and play back old pictures? If so, press the "Disp" button and your LCD will turn on.

If you can't take pictures because they turn out solid black, then your LCD is fine and you need a new lens.

Hope this helps.

Toshiba Regza sound but no picture

I had the same problem last night - sound but no picture form any of the inputs - DVD, VCR, FIOS or antenna. I could still see the TV menu. If you go to the TV menu - you can go to the settings (far right top), from there you can choose to restore factory settings, usually needs a code - 0000 (if you did not choose a different one), select yes when prompted if you want to restore factory defaults. This brought my picture back. I lost all of my picture preferences i had set - but at least I got a picture! I hope this helps!!
