Screen goes black after unit is turned on.

After turning on unit , the screen goes to black, sound is fine and around edges is the picture which appears to be blocked. When changing channels the screen shows the new show until the black out once again is in place in a second or two. The remote has dissapered and a "universal" has been trained to at least turn on and change channels, and adjust volume. Is there any thing we can do to restore picture to our unit?

Contacted Mitsubishi directly and found out that QV9 on the remote control resets to factory defaults, clearing the Parental lock out someone had put in place. The TV is in a Retirement Home and some of the folks are sneaky about wanting to control the TV in their own fashion. We will be watching the remote a bit closer now!

Problem With KENMARK flat Screen TV - BLACKS OUT

you do not give the model number for a better diagnosis
the most common cause of this problem is the invertor or at worse the screen its self.
If it is a lvd 163 you can purchase a new invertor from sales@tvs-services or call 01245392539

32" flat screen Westinghouse TV

Hello, it sounds like you need to replace the inverter board on this unit. I would recommend opening the unit from the back cover, get the part # for the inverter board (long green board normally running accross the edge of the TV) and go to www.shopjimmy.com, they should have it in stock and if not you can try www.invertercentral.com, they should also have it.

Sony kv35s66: No picture, just sound and red blinking

This should be a quick fix. Try resoldering the vertical IC. This is a small flat IC attached to a heat sink with about 11 pins. It should be marked LA7837 or something similar. That should resolve the problem.

Keep us posted.

TV Picture Goes Black

I had the same exact problem.
I removed the bulb and cleaned it. There is a small screen at the top of the bulb and it was covered with dust. Once it was cleaned I replaced the bulb and it solved the problem.
Thanks to those who posted the solutions

How to get rid of a black screen on my tv. sound is ok

If you mean that you get a black box, with a little of the picture visible around the edges, then your closed captions are on and set to TEXT. This puts a black box on the screen about 10 seconds after changing the channel. Go into the menu and turn off the closed captions and the picture will be back to normal.
