Picture is turning blue .If you shut TV off and turn it back on,it will be good for about 30 seconds. When you turn TV on ,it will take an hour before you can see anything. Purchased Dec. 02. First time with any problems.

Have same problem. Not the proper fix though I found that taking the back off and heating it up with a heat gun for 30 seconds to 1 minute and tv works fine till you shut it off over night.Maybe someone can offer a solution with that in mind. Pretty strange

You have two problems: blue lines is convergence problem and the blue screen and shutdown is Blue Screen control is up too high.

Similar problem with my Sony. unplug for 36 hours and try again

try to resolder all bad cold solder and open ones
see if this helps good luck

bad voltage regulator - BA09FP requires a bit of tech experience to replace, but its relatively easy. It took me about 1 hour to replace mine. If you need clarification on this, email me at Doin12volt at yahoo

Good Day;
It sounds like the TV may have a shorted CRT, picture tube, but let's trouble shoot:
1. Unplug TV from wall.
2. Remove speaker grill, two on bottom, the screws are covered with plastic caps, right and left side on bottom next to floor.
3. Remove inner panel.
4. The blue tube is the one the right side, remove socket, with phillips driver, make sure it's not touching anything.
5. Plug and turn TV back on, if picture appears with no blue it's the tube.
6. If still shuts down, bad blue CRT driver IC.
CAUTION: Call a factory authorized service dealer to give you an estimate, if this sounds too hard.
Good Luck, Day, Big Irish.

thank you

pyrosp4,

it maybe you blue crt (picture tube). mine turn blue and then shuts off. i got it repaired for 460. 300 for the part 160 to install. you can try to adjust the voltage settings behind the speaker screen and see if that clears the problem. if not its you blue crt.
