I have a 1 week old 42 inch lcd hd tv. it was unplugged and taken off wall bracket for decorating. when put back and plugged in, the stand by light does not come on and so tv wont work?

Put tv on bed face down and look at the stand and locate and remove any and all screws holding stand to the flat screen set. Then after mounting the wall plate per instructions mount the tv to wall mounting.

is it a 47 inch LCD Television if so it weighs about 54 pounds with stand.

There are 4 screws found in the center bottom of rear plastic back. 2 at top and 2 at bottom - approx 1/2 inch from bottom the 1st 2 will be about 3 inches apart - then directly above there are 2 more. These screws hold the bracket that holds the stand. Once you remove the bracket there should be no parts sticking out further than the actual television and can now be mounted to the wall with a mounting system.

Unplug the power cord of the receiver box for 10 seconds and then plug it back.

Try unplugging the power then hit the power button on the tv then plug it back in the wall and try to turn it on

Tries websites like Amazon.com,Ebay.com to buy a new wall mount bracket set for holding tvs 42-50 inches.Should work fine LCD tvs or Plasma tvs used the same wall mount bracket set.

To Display your LCD TV using a Wall Bracket:

If you decide to wall mount your LCD TV, always use a ULlisted wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of the LCD TV: 32HL37/32HL37U/32HL17/32HL17U: 38.6 lbs (17.5 kg)

37HL17: 46.3 lbs (21.0 kg)

42HL17: 59.5 lbs (27.0 kg)
1) CAUTION: Two people are required for installation.

2) Unplug and remove any cables and/or other component connectors from the rear of the TV.

3) Follow the instructions provided with your wall bracket. Before proceeding, make sure the appropriate bracket(s) are attached to the wall and the back of the TV as described in the instructions provided with the wall bracket.

4) After attaching the appropriate bracket(s) to the wall and the back of the TV, remove the pedestal stand from the TV as described below.


Removing the Pedestal Stand

1) Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat, cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the stand protruding over the edge of the surface. Note: Extreme care should always be used when removing the pedestal stand to avoid damage to the LCD panel.

2) Remove the jack pack cover on the back of the TV to expose the pedestal stand screws. The jack pack cover can be removed without tools.

3) Remove the five screws. This will allow removal of the pedestal stand.

4) Once you have removed all five screws holding the pedestal stand in place, remove the pedestal stand from the TV by sliding the pedestal stand away from the TV.

The cheapest I have found is Videosecu Dual Arm TV Wall Mount Bracket for Sony Bravia 32 37 40 42 46 50... on amazon. I hope this was helpful. regards

I had this problem on my 42" Philips. Just got it yesterday and worked fine on the tv stand. As soon as I mounted the TV to the wall via wall mount system, I had the exact same issue you did. Figured it out today.

The wall mount was putting pressure against the center of the back of the tv (tv set had a slightly rounded back plate, and the mount was a flat plate). As soon as I put spacers (part of the wall mount hardware set) between the wall mount braket and the tv so there was no contact except at the mounting holes, the tv worked fine.

My theory is the pressure pushed the tv back plate against some board components which caused them to overheat (no air flow); or put pressure on internal connectors. I dont know.

Hope this helps, may not apply to your situation.

Check the kitchen drawer next to the fridge for the screws !!

When you get new screws, use lengths 1/2".. any longer and you might hit something inside.

Don't know why this is posted under IS-LCDTV26.. I would pull a screw from my 26" and measure it, but it's most likely different than your 42"
