Busted TV?

Froggy88 · 08-06-2011, 21:06

Hello,

So my TV has been working fine for 2 years since I got it, its just a 19" Samsung was working fine this morning and this afternoon and the picture went but there was still sound.

Checked all the cables and changed the scart and tried a DVD on both players and still no picture just sound. However the picture will flash up quickly when I turn the TV on and Sky is turned on but its just a couple of seconds if that before it goes black again.

Any ideas?

sounds like its an LCD, if so could be a prob with the backlight or invertor
Unlikley to be cost effective to do anything other than bin it, Id have thought

Chris is right, you might as well bite the bullet and buy a new one.
