With the TV powered on complete the following steps:
1. Press and hold "Menu" button on the front of the TV (not using a remote.)
2. Press and release the "Power" button on the front of the TV.
3. Press and release the "Volume Down" button on the front of the TV.

This will bring up the service menu.

Using the buttons on the front of the TV, scroll down and select "Reset to Factory Defaults," which should be the fourth option. Wait a few seconds and all of your inputs should work again.

Check and do a visual inspection to the lamp.
It could be the ballast or the color wheel.

I have a RCA HD50LPW42, the tv stopped showing the picture awhile back but the sound continued when the tv was turned on. Now the sound has gone out too. When I turn the tv on the green power light blinks...
Hi,
You may have two problems with your TV. This TV has a history of a color wheel issue, was making grinding noise? Have you ever changed the lamp?
It may be a bad color wheel and the lamp, you may want to do a visual inspection.
It is easy to replace the lamp but more likely the color wheel is the problem.
The part# for the color wheel is 212184, the part# for the lamp is 260962

Best of luck

RCA HD50LPW42. Sound so loud it sounds like a jet engine coming from TV (very loud whining sound). I assume this is my color-wheel, but I'm not sure.Turns off when TV turns off.
You need a replacement color wheel or have yours rebuilt since the RCA color wheels are on nationwide back order. You can get your wheel rebuilt at the following link

Need info on fan for RCA HD50LPW42 TV
Thats a DLP and those fans are noisy. Most of those fans are special and I don't think I can recommend a dealer but you can Google Electronic Parts and pick one. They will need the Model Numbers as well as the Chassis number. There is no guarentee it will be any quiter for very long. You might check with some local TV shops and see if any of them have a good used one. DLP's go bad all the time and many times it's the light engine and the fans are realitively new.
