Hi Steven,
A Good place to start is the secondary power supply. It is normally integrated with the main power supply. Pull the back off the TV , take a look at the board where the power cord hooks to. Look for bulged or leaking capacitors.
They are always flat on top and normally laying flat where the bottom meets the board. I have seen them where they look perfectly fine and flat on top but the rubber 'cork' on the bottom is bulging out indicating that capacitor is bad.
Bad capacitors is the first part of diagnostics which can cause your loss of picture.
They are very affordable and available on eBay.
With a few YouTube searches you will have full knowledge of the concept and actually a pretty easy fix.
Here's a sample, it not your board but an example:

----------------
Here's a picture of the power board for your TV
Part # 75006713
screen is out, sound still good - d6197ee7-02b5-4a09-ac55-a1bee66a4c3e.jpg
Here is a link to part of the service manual for diagnostics.
It also has a list at the end of all the capacitors.
Toshiba 42HL67 Service Manual Page 3
Next step would be your inverter board which is the main component that operates your back lights for the screen.
Part #'s VIT70023.81, I420H1-20B-L301F


Hope this helps , post up any questions or if you got it fixed!

    that manual is for 42hl67, my tv is 42hl67us is there a difference? Because that power supply doesnt look like mine.

  • Mack Mar 10, 2014

    Hi Steven, I searched by the model number you originally posted.

    Looked up both numbers and the power supplies seem to be the same for the model numbers. The service manual I looked up seems to cover both ( 42hl67us Service Manual Toshiba 42HL67 42 LCD TV ).

    Is this what your power supply looks like? ( Below)

    If so it was also used in the 32" Toshiba TVs.

    Fount this as a cross part search on eBay

    Link on ebay >TOSHIBA 32HL67U POWER SUPPLY UNIT PE0246A V28A00030801 P2356





    But by model number you originally gave the first power supply matches.

    The real point Steven is to start at visually inspecting the power boards for swollen or leaking capacitors. There seems to be a 5 volt 'B' board in that set too, but I'm strongly suspecting the main first.

    Then move down the line for other possibilities as mentioned before.

    Hope this helps and let me know if you get it fixed!

Westinghouse WD55UW4620 no picture

Before you replace the power board, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue with your Westinghouse WD55UW4620 TV:
  1. Adjust the picture settings: It's possible that the picture settings on your TV have been accidentally adjusted, resulting in a dark picture. Try going into the TV's menu and adjusting the brightness, contrast, and other picture settings to see if that helps.
  2. Check the backlight: The backlight is responsible for illuminating the pixels on your TV screen, and if it's not working properly, it can result in a dark or dim picture. You can check the backlight by shining a flashlight on the screen and seeing if you can make out any images. If you can see images, then the backlight is likely the issue.
  3. Check the cables: Make sure that all the cables connecting your TV to external devices are securely plugged in and not damaged.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, then it's possible that the power board is the issue. In that case, replacing the power board may fix the problem.

Good day. My LG TV suddenly went black. It had sound but no picture. When I tried to switch it on again, it briefly flashed the logo but went black again. Please any suggestions?

Your backlight inverter board is likely bad. If you're handy it is relatively easy to replace. Google for replacement part.
if you can see a picture while shining a flashlight on the screen then it is most likely the inverter board. Backlights provide the light through the lcd screen for brightness.

Will the LED backlights glow even when one LED is not working?when i switch ON tv,the toshiba logo displayed for a second and then it goes off.Flash light test on black screen shows images though.

I don't know your TV but are you sure that it is an "LED" TV? If not, it may be an "LCD" TV which is a bit different. An "LED" TV uses Light Emitting Diodes to illuminate the individual pixels or PIcture ELementS. If it is an "LCD" TV, the picture works more like an electronic digital watch. The picture is produced within the screen and uses a florescent tube on the bottom and side to back light the screen. If you can see the picture with a flashlight, I suspect that it is an "LCD" type. If it was an "LED" TV, and it didn't light up, the LED's that make up the pixels wouldn't be firing and you wouldn't be seeing a picture even with a flashlight. Just like any florescent light tube, these "LCD" back light tubes will dim with age until they eventually fail. If the Toshiba logo lights and goes out, this sounds like the bulbs or their high voltage drivers are failing. Good luck.

No picture, sound works good

Sounds like a backlight fault. Dim the lights in the room and turn on the set. Shine a bright flashlight on the screen, you should see a faint picture. If you do, you have a backlight problem

The laptop screen turned a funny orange color on start up and then the screen went dark. Pressing the brightness buttons has no affect. Any quick fix?

Check it on an external monitor to see if the video card is good. If the external works, then the LCD or backlight is bad. Look with a flashlight. If there is a very dim image, then it is probably the backlight. If no image, then the LCD.

Screen is on but picture dose not show... cables connected

Solution, replace monitor with a new one.
I have found, at my shop, that getting parts for these things can be pricey and by the time I charge labor as well, could just buy a new one.
Probably a bad internal power supply or the inverter that powers the bulb(s) went out, which is sometimes built in with the power supply itself. If, and I stress IF, the parts are available, be prepared to pay more than its worth.
Pick up a new one, shop around on different brands. Some manufacturers offer 3 year warranties. ;)
