I cannot reach anyone by phone now. Have an AKAI tv and getting a blank screen after trying to turn on. Have cable thru Verizon but told this is a TV problem. Can you please help?

did you hear the sounds? or maybe you have defective power source in hot side..

SOURCE: We have sound, but no picture

If you replace the lamp and still have no video, the problem could be the ballast. Replacement cost is similar to that of replacing the lamp.

My 42 inch Akai is about 6 months old,, and is showing green where black should be..
BUt there is help for you all.. Call Verizon, sign up for their "Expert Care" program. it's $10.00 a month, and active after the third month.
with a $75.00 deductable. THey will fix or Replace (give you choice of three alternate models/brands).
Free services under this plan are adjustments, and One FREE remote per year!.
i recomend you sign up for this program, and after 90 days. call for service. They more than likely will replace your TV's.
This is what they did with mine..
ALSO.
it doesn't matter how old your TV is, the plan is applicable to all TV's in your household. So one plan, one monthly payment of $10.00, covers all the TV's you own!!
