Color image is coming out black and white

This is meant to be under televisions, not PC notebooks.

its a cheap tv...you get what you pay for duh

You may have blown power supply for the backlight inverter or blown backlight inverter board, either one are cheap!,
This is cheaply made TV to begin with. Repiar shop will charge you $200 and up plus parts.

Ur backlight video board it,dying.Micro processor have shorted,must change the backlight board.

my 46'' inch tv polaroid lcd has been working fine for 3 years. today my wife and I noticed the tv is shutting off the screen will go black and the power light does switch to red. you can here something inside the t.v clicking but you can turn it on and it will start back fine for 20 minutes then shut off again? Does anybody know whats going out on the tv? let me know

it's the power board (transformer). Buy on ebay for 99.00 and replace.

I had a similar problem with my LG plasma. I used the Image Sticking Minimization
(Pixel Orbitor, White Wash, and Inversion) feature which is designed to prevent image burn in and ghosting. This ISM feature may be available on the Samsung or any other brand under a different name. I activated the "white wash" option for about 30 mins, the screen turns white and somehow the pixels get reset. The green noise disappeared after that.
I hope this helps. Phezbuster
