My son has turned on his x box which seems to show the normal green light but cannot see anything on any of the tv's in the house. This worked yesterday but I put it in the cuboard last night and now it does not seem to be working can anyone help please. He usually put the tv channel on AV3.

You need to report to your homeowners insurance. It is normally about as cheap to buy TV nowadays as to repair. Especially one hit by lightning.

may be your DM board is gone......

Panasonic DLP TV Bulbs

Make sure its an original Osram or Philips bulb inside the housing. If its a cheap lamp it will act this way. If it is an original lamp, then you may have a power supply issue. It shouldn't affect your TV but you may want to try resetting the lamp timer by following the instructions that came with the lamp.

TY-LA1001 Timer reset

While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the number 0 button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

Does it sound like it's coming on then powers down? Mine turned out to be the bulb. I bought a bulb on Ebay for less than $90.00 and installed it myself.

The bulb was inside a square metal housing, pull housing and bulb out of tv, replace the bulb reusing the existing housing, then replace..... Pretty easy fix, and I'm not all that mechanically inclined. Good luck!

If power was lost likely a glitch in the unit, try to unplug it for a while and if no help something was damaged when power went off and came back on.

i have pluged in all the plugs to be in and all in the right places but i have no sound but im getting a picture ??????

Hi...there,
It's turns blue to power safe mode (yellow) it's prevent futher damaged to your monitor. It's seems you got a busted backlight inverter. Need to replaced a new one...Since you only got it for a few months, send it back to Acer for a replacement of a new backlight inverter... Have a nice day!

Replaced the blown lamp

Could you show a picture of the distended cover you mentioned?

 

Were the light blue lines you were referring to, diagonal, or truly horizontal?
