Hi I would be happy to help you with this.Please answer the following questions so I can make an accurate diagnosis.How old is the set?Also what devices are hooked up to the set, game console, cable box or satelite dish, or DVD?Do you have any sound?Thank youTech Michael
5 yrs, cable box, dvd suround sound system,no sound
Thank you for the information.WHat I would like you to do is unhook all audio video cables from the back of the set.Als unplug both the cable box and and the TV.Wait 5 minutes then plug the the audio video, HDMI whatever you are using back into the set in the correct locations.then plug power back in.to both the TV and the cable box.(turn the cable box on after it has completly booted up)Then from your menu on the TV, (if that works) reporogram the set selecting the catv. The run the auto program function to see if you can receive any signal.If not, I will advise you on what part needs replacing.Please note, pressing the ACCEPT button does NOT close your question. It actually keeps me in the loop with you, and allows me to continue dialogue with you and allows me to set up a follow up appointment with you. At no additional cost!I will still be here for you until the job is complete and you are satisfied!Thank YouTech Michael
