Reply to 37" Vizio LCD# VW37L- Turns on/No pic on June 27, 2008

You said a child struck the TV with a toy. That's not a good thing for an LCD. It's quite possible the tubes inside the panel are broken as well as the panel itself. If...

Reply to Toshiba 62HM195 with possible bad light engine. on June 7, 2008

Getting into the service menu to adjust the verticle centering or size will do you no good. You have an optical problem where no light is capable of reaching that portion of the screen. The...

Reply to Toshiba 62HM195 with possible bad light engine. on June 5, 2008

Your problem is very similar to the issues that Toshiba has experienced with their HM66 models. A focusing mirror that's glued to a metal frame has come unglued due to the heat and has slipped...

Reply to SONY KDF-42WE655 TV, BLUE TINT 25% OF SCREEN ?? on June 5, 2008

As I already stated. You have a bad optical engine. Unless Sony has extended the warranty on the engines for this model this is going to be an expensive repair ($700 - 1000) possibly more....

Reply to 2.5 year old Pioneer Elite 50" Won't Turn On on June 4, 2008

My advice. Call an authorized Pioneer repair station. Do NOT attempt to repair this yourself. Pioneer has installed a unique method of making sure the wrong people don't mess with their sets. You stand the...

Reply to SONY KDF-42WE655 TV, BLUE TINT 25% OF SCREEN ?? on June 4, 2008

Optical engine. You might want to call Sony customer service on the outside chance that the engine might be covered by an extended warranty. Otherwise, prepare for major $$ to repair.

Reply to Insignia IS-TVHD30 manufacturer? on May 23, 2008

If the unit is under warranty, labor or parts, they'll get a new set. If under a service contract, the same thing for the duration of the contract. If it's out of warranty, the customer...

Reply to Insignia IS-TVHD30 manufacturer? on May 23, 2008

Unfortunately, it's quite likely there are no parts available for that unit. Best Buy sells a lot of Insignia, it's their house brand, and they can't get parts for them.

Reply to Hitachi 50v715 light engine replacement on May 4, 2008

Here's a quick and easy on the V700 series. Pull off the front lower grill. Remove the screws to remove the plastic panel the Vol/channel buttons are attached to. This piece kinda slides up under...

Reply to WD 52525 New Bulb Green light then goes to red on May 3, 2008

This is probably the 2 3300uf @ 10v caps on the power supply board.

Reply to Hitachi 50v715 light engine replacement on May 3, 2008

The 700 series engines are not as bad as the 500 series were. They came out with a cleaning kit for techs to actually attempt to tear down the engines and clean off dust that's...

Reply to Sanyo 42 plasma DP42746 just died on April 13, 2008

Something is loading down the power supply. Sanyo has few if any service manuals available for any of their Plasma or LCD TV's on their website.

Reply to can somebody scan the SB for sony # e29102171 on April 13, 2008

Why is it so hard to get a Sony Service bulletin? It's not hard. Go to Sony's ESI website, log on, click on search documents, enter the model number of the set (no dashes) or...

Reply to zenith model e44w46lcd yellow blotches on screen on April 9, 2008

The light engine is located inside the set I think? As for a manual? I can tell you LG manuals are not the best place to obtain part numbers. There are too many versions of...

Reply to zenith model e44w46lcd yellow blotches on screen on April 7, 2008

You have a bad light engine.

Reply to View Sonic Flat sreen Tv on April 7, 2008

Viewsonics have never been a repairable item unfortunately. Your only outlet is to contact Viewsonic directly.

Reply to HELP....SAMSUNG HLP5063WX/XAA won't turn on after changing lamp on April 1, 2008

You've either got a bad ballast or a DMD board.

Reply to Akura 32" LCD on April 1, 2008

You bought a cheap LCD TV along with all the ramifications of that. It sounds like a bad panel or the ribbon connector from the panel to the controller board is defective or isn't making...

Reply to Mitsubitshi Mod. WD-52525 on February 26, 2008

How old is your lamp?

Reply to Philips Plasma 42PF5520d/10 no sound or picture? on February 26, 2008

I'm afraid I'm not understanding your problem here. Was the set working when you were having this 4 blink red light problem? If it wasn't, how were you able to perform a firmware upgrade? If...

Reply to Flyback lead romoval help. on February 26, 2008

The anode leads merely push into the flybacks on those sets but they have a plastic sleeve that fits over the anode wire and which also fits into the top of the flyback to hold...

Reply to Red dots in dark areas of picture on Samsung HP-R5072 plasma TV on February 26, 2008

those are most often referred to as sparkles. The fixes include the following. Tweaking of a few of the voltages on the Y sustain board. These adjustments are often only a temporary fix. Replacement of...

Reply to Unexpected zooming of image on JVC PD 42X776 on February 26, 2008

I think I'd start from scratch and try unplugging the set and leaving it off for around 15 minutes and then plugging it back in. The micro may be locked up in some weird loopy...

Reply to vizio p42hd on February 18, 2008

You'll have to take the back off and tear the unit down to get to the connectors. I'll stress again that it's only a possibility. Odds are you've got a bad PDP (Plasma) panel. That...

Reply to Zenith z50p3 picture on February 17, 2008

Definitely get the extended warranty service company into play on this one. Red sparkle issues in LG/Zenith Plasma's are normally repaired with the replacement of the X & Y sustain boards along with the logic...

Reply to Philips 27PT6441/27 keeps blowing fuses on February 17, 2008

This model was famous for the degauss thermistor drawing too much current at turn on. The old part, contained in a square white case, gets replaced with a newer thermistor. Sorry, I don't have the...

Reply to Disgrunted coustomer on February 8, 2008

In my state you must send a registered letter after 90 days. Once you get the signed letter back the set is yours to dispose of as you wish.

Reply to Vesa mounting nut fell inside cabinet on February 5, 2008

Make sure the unit is face down on top of some sort of soft surface that completely supports the entire screen from side to side and top to bottom. 2nd, it's quite possible that the...

Reply to Help with parts for 32" LCD Phillips! on February 5, 2008

Andrews electronics has taken over the bulk of Philips parts. http://www.andrewselectronics.com/

Reply to Mits WD-52327***UPDATED 2/9 7:15PM EST*** on February 5, 2008

If the lamp you put in was a good lamp then I'd look towards the ballast as a possible culprit.
