I'm lost as to what's going on. I'll describe it as best as I can. I've tried to capture video of it happening but have been unsuccessful so far as it happens inconsistently and I've either not had my phone out or had it on photo instead of video.
The issue begins with the screen flickering. There is no distortion to the picture itself, no lines across the screen. The screen goes dim then back to regular brightness repeatedly and quickly. This will usually lead to the screen going all black, no image at all, no backlight. The audio is not affected, I can still hear whatever was being watched. Sometimes that happens quickly, sometimes the flickering lasts for a minute or two before the picture is lost. When the picture goes completely out it is accompanied by a single, audible "pop." The power is still on as evidenced by the tiny power indicator light still being lit. I can push the power button on the remote or the TV and the indicator LED goes out.
If I turn the TV back on there is a good chance that the flickering will resume shortly after. Sometimes there is no flicker at all and the picture goes out when the "V" logo is being displayed during power up.
And sometimes it won't flicker at all and I can open Netflix and watch an entire show or lose picture abruptly. There have been one or two times where I have been in the TV menu when the flickering begins. I have exited the menu and launched the Netflix app and the flickering stops and I can continue using the app.
As I type this, my daughter is playing minecraft on XBox one, connected through HDMI input 4. In the past it has been connected to HDMI inputs 1 and 2 and experienced flickering and picture loss.
After reading some threads a few months ago I replaced the TCON board but the issue persisted. I put the TV away in a closet and just pulled it out again to see if there was any new info out or anyone had similar problems. I've had no luck finding anything online that matches the things I'm seeing.
Any help would be appreciated as I am at a loss and can't even seem to find a consistent pattern to the issue.
