Got another stumper for the community. This one is right up there with some of the strangest problems I've ever seen on anything:
Basically, this Samsung LCD television works fine, but when tuned to the VGA input, it will blank the screen and turn off the backlight and slowly blink the power light until the video source is turned off or the cable is disconnected, at which point the screen will turn back on and display the usual "check connection" message. This has been an issue for years, but we just stopped using the VGA port when it originally cropped up because the issue is not present on any other input. When it originally started, it happened suddenly and abruptly and without explanation or provocation.
Originally, I thought it was perhaps some kind of settings issue, so I reset the television and even upgraded the firmware (successfully), but the problem on the VGA port still persists. Is there any known fix for this, or are we just going to have to stick with HDMi and component if we don't want to replace the mainboard?
