Was watching TV and the picture just went black (still had sound)

We were watching a tv show and right in the middle of it, the picture on our 5 year old Samsung SPN4235 just went black. We still have sound, we can still adjust the volume, change the channel etc. There's just no picture, tv menu doesn't show up, there's zip in regards to anything visual. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

Problem with tv

Could be a horizontal output fault, faulty power supply, a simple dry solder joint or HVT. If you can hear arcing or smell an ozone odour, it will be the HVT which may cost a bit.

Without knowing the actual cause, it's impossible to say how much it would cost to fix it.... could be anywhere from $50 to $250 etc

Best to have it checked by a technician and get a quote to repair... then decide if you think it's worth it.

Toshiba is generally a reliable brand, so if you were happy with the picture quality before the fault occurred, it's probably worth repairing.

Cheers
