What is connected to the TV for devices (DVD, cable box, etc.), and do you have the
same issue regardless of which INPUT you select?



If you press Volume, Input, or any of the other buttons on the TV does anything at
all come up on the screen?

Customer replied 338 days and 19 hours ago.

When I press tVolume or input I hane no response at all, nothing on the screen.

Nothing else is connected to the TV.

Please disconnect the set from AC power, then press and hold the power button on the TV itself (not the remote), for 10 seconds. After another minute, plug the set
back in and press power once. Do you still have the same problem?

If so, please let me know how long you've had the set for.

Customer replied 338 days and 18 hours ago.

Yes I still have the same problem....

I have the set since 2006.

Does the TV have sound at all?

Also, please try this. Shine a flashlight directly against the screen of the TV and look very very closely. Do you see a shadowy, dark image behind the screen?

Customer replied 338 days and 18 hours ago.

No sound at all.

No I do not see a shadowy, dark image behind the screen....

It is most probable that there is a failure on the power supply board inside the
TV. Commonly the capacitors on this board will receive a surge and then fail.
They can sometimes be visually verified by removing the rear of the set and
inspecting them for bulges or leaking fluid at the top or the base of the caps.
This is the most common mode of failure for these sets.

The capacitors are located on the power board inside the set, where the AC cord
plugs into and can be replaced by a Tech for no more than $200 parts and labor.
