    White screen on LCD powering on and off!

    I just moved my Samsung 46" LCD TV from another house and when plugging in and turning it on, the screen is bright white, and powers on and off approximately every 20 seconds. You can barely see the display. Has worked perfectly for the last 2 years!

    Reseat your connections. If you moved it, there is a good chance one of the cables got loose?

      Thanks for the reply. The only thing connected is the power cord. I unplugged that from the back of the tv as well as the wall, but its still doing the same thing.

        Sounds like a connector inside has worked loose.

          Now when powering it on, the screen is completely black.

            How did you transport it? Packing it in the original box would have been best. Laying it flat on the bottom of the truck, then stacking boxes on top of it would be about the worst you could have done.

              I had it standing up in the back seat of my van. It was secured with nothing around it, so no damage in that sense.

                That sounds good. Vibrations could still have been a problem. I'd say the first step would be to carefully lay it face down on an even surface, remove the back and look for any cables that are not firmly seated. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, call a pro.

                  Like the other members are telling, look inside (which is what I meant in my original post). I haven't taken one apart, but from seeing some of the youtube videos, there is going to be a lot of screws to take out.

                    by harp
                    To ask here... I have few devices with white screen problem, actualy nokia 2220 and some fuji? camera, and try to understand what is common problem to cause that issue.
                    Yes, both devices work everything else probably ok, I mean, I hear intro melody and keypress click sound, DTMF tone, power on off... all ok.
                    On desk is nokia 2220 slide, and I check all screen connectors and components arround it, measure voltage drop, but all looks ok. I suspect on slide flex cable, but it look ok and white screen is not interupt while flexing board, pushing conectors, and sliding up down. In attachment...

                    Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                    by Ryan.man
                    Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                    My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                    This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                    LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
                    by valvashon
                    The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
                    Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...

                    Sharp LC-65Q620U White Screen
                    by EazyBone
                    Another TV topic!!
                    I got this sharp TV that when I first plugged it in it showed the sharp logo and then went to the input screen. This was about 30 seconds and then it showed white screen. Now I can't see anything but white screen. This has a separate TCON and Main.

                    The TCON is getting 12V and several parts are as well but the VGH line is only .5Volts which I thought is totally incorrect.

                    Am I on the correct assumption that the TCON is bad somehow if I'm only getting that voltage or is there something else I should check?...
