How can i fix my 40" Element tv?

The screen on my tv keeps getting colored streaks on the screen. sometimes it just gets a solid color, green, red, white, etc. if i turn it off then back on it will play for just a little while. If i turn it off and leave it off it is very hard to get a picture back on it. can it be fixed?

It could be the t-con board going. or the screen connector ribbon is lose. or even just the connection cable to the t-con board. if you push gently around the edge of the screen if the pitcher gets better or worse then its the screen connections. sometimes can be fixed with cracking the cable or slightly heating the area and packing, but this is with the led screen panel out. but would think its more a t-con board filing.

Basically any damage occurs on the screen itself, the screen can only be replace as a fix. There is no way a damaged screen because it like glass. Replacement screen part would cost more than the TV is worth. It's cheaper to buy a new TV at this point.

First, very sorry to hear about your troubles. Life is tough, but there are good people to help you cope.

Second, the model number of your TV is probably ELCPO371, not ELP0731.

Third, it would help if you could somehow send a picture. The description does not sound promising, though. The problem is in either the TCON board and the ribbon cables that connect it to the LCD panel of the TV or, more likely, in the LCD panel itself. In case of the later there is very little chance that this can be fixed.

Sorry...but that's what I know.

Fourth, Element is brand of Proview. The support contact for the above TV model is [email protected], 1-888-238-8123.

My personal advice is that unless the TV is still under warranty you should not waste time on contacting their support. You need your energy for more important things in life.

Find a good local repairman instead.

Hope this helps and I wish you luck. If I was helpful please rate the answer, we need your support too!

I have a blue streak on the left side of my Hitachi ultravision digital TV. This streak is not solid but hazy and irregular in size.

projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both.

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

  • Screen looks 3D
  • Colors don't line up
  • One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
  • Screen is bowed or warped.
  • TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.
Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed.

My daughter's LCD TV has color vertical streaks

I believe she had damage the screen TFT (Thin Film Transistors that drive each LCD Red, Blue, Green pixels, there are about a million of them on the screen). The sreen is very delicate. You can ask local repair shop for second opinion.

Hitachi 52 projection tv

use the advanced options page and reset the factor blue and red convergence defaults then do re apply the auto color defaults color at first it seemed very red (which is good because red was the missing factor in the green picture) but after reseting all the color and tints to the normal ranges I then reset the color auto correct again and all seems fine.
