Not positive- but I think I got it in mid 2006. I had my computer hooked up to it when it happened. This is the tv's primary use- haven't tried any other input- don't have cable.

If you press the menu button on the tv itself, does the menu flash as well or does it look normal?

The menu doesn't flash- can barely see the image through the flickering (black screen), but it goes into deep sleep very quickly. Not sure if the menu screen is even appearing. 2 weeks ago there was a thin green line, vertically, through the screen. I turned the tv off for an extended period and it went away- if that is any help.

There are a couple of different things that could cause this problem, the first is the power supply, and the second the main board. Also either sustain or scan driver board can cause this problem. To know exactly what board is the cause, you need to have electronic repair experience, and test equipment. If you have this let me know and I will assist you in the troubleshooting of this tv. Otherwise you will need a repairman at this point. You can expect a bill of anywhere between $300-$500, this is a good average, however it could be more or less.

 

I am sorry I don't have a quick fix or easy answer for you on this one, please let me know if you have the skills and tools and I will be happy to assist you. Also please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

 

 

If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don't hesitate to ask!
