Samsung lcd tv

[monkeyelectric]

Evening all, would any of you kind people know what the cause would be for my samsung 40 " tv to have sound but no picture? There's nothing there, the screen is just black. It was working quite happily yesterday but i've just got in and switched it on and this has happened.

press tv/dtv to put it onto analogue, then press the power button to power it off, then press tv/dtv again to power it back on, then that should come up with a fuzzy screen on analogue, leave for a few seconds then press tv/dtv again to put back to digital and the picture will come back, been there got the Tshirt with the samsung M8.

Ah, i'd better put it back together and try that first then
I don't seem to have a dtv/tv button on the remote, its probably about 5 year old now, how old is yours Mike?
Right! Found the dtv/tv button i was being blind as usual! Unfortunately it still doesn't work

Beautiful Tvs but riddled with issues. My lodgers TV randomly turns it self on for some wierd reason, i googled it and it appears to be a common problem.

I was reading today that Samsung have had problems with dodgy capacitors in their TVs.
( Just thought I'd let you know! )

3 to 4 years M8, what have you got on the remote, Samsungs are difficult to control and have had major complaints by thousands of owners, I have nearly kicked mine up and down the road before working out how to reset the picture.

you may have to practice with the dtv/tv button a few times to get it working M8, sometime it takes me 2 -3 attempts to get the picture back.

I don't even know where to begin in the back of that thing, bloody capacitors everywhere! Its only electronics though so how hard can it be?
