40 inch philips lcd tv model # 40pfl3705d/f7 no picture

[christo]

No picture, uncertain of sound because I do not have a remote with the tv to switch inputs ( or try to anyway)


backlight does come on, its brightens at first then dims but is on.

I toggled the ribbon cable on the t-con board to try and get a difference but no such luck, just blank screen.

also makes a buzzing/hissing noise hard to describe, only happens when its on.

Do a continuity test on the t-con fuse.

Edit: I had the same issue a couple years ago with this particular TV. I soldered a new fuse on top of the old one instead of trying to remove it - totally acceptable: http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...5TR-ND/1206513
