='( anyone is good with TV's?
 

so i've got this Sony TV, it's the KDL-40S4100
(http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665381955)

this just starting to happen..
i have this TV used as a monitor..
and now the TV gets power but nothing on the screen...
normally when i turn the TV on it's at HDMI 2 is hooked in to the computer..
and if i flip the up and down it'll go to 1 or 2

and now when i turn the TV on nothing happens
no sound no picture no nothing...

anything i should try?

No idea coco, is it still within the warranty period?

Is the TV working on regular TV stations or just the HDMI 2 for PC is not working?

i have no idea, sony is sending people out to my house next monday...
which means i can't bench for a WHOLE week!
it's killing me!



no sir, nothing is showing up..
i really think it may be the logical board that's broken...
because the thing turns on but nothing is working
but at the sametime it picks up the remote (on and off) :Dizzy:
it's not the back light i can tell that for sure .. so that's good :thumbsup:

Do you have the stand by LED blinking right after you power it up? Most TV sets will blink display some code.

no sir, when i turn it on it just comes on like normal but normally it'll take a few sec to boot it up, but now it's really not doing anything at all the power light comes on but screen will not =(
and when i flip the channels nothing happens

get a 50$ 19inch 1280x1024 lcd :D...thats what i use for bsods LOL

Than I have no clue. I had a simular situation on my Panasonic. It would come on but the stand by LED would blink a few times. After hitting google I found out that it was a defective power board which was covered by the warranty. Call the service line since sometimes even when your warranty is expired they know they have a failing part and will replace it free of cost. :thumbsup:

if i can't get this fixed i monna just use my projector as a damn monitor :D

but at the same time i really wanna fix it so i can watch TV on it!
i just got all the futurama, family guy, graygray's anatomy, and some other shows too...
also my room is way too big for a 19 lol even the 40 is too small ...
i monna talk to my dad see if he can let me have the 60 and i buy him a new 65 plasma :D

indeed you good sir!
i called them and they are sending peoplle out to my house monday morning :thumbsup:
