Hello all. We've had this TV for a few years now, and one day I went to turn it on, and it came on with this gray hatch pattern. No strange noises, no storms or power issues, it didn't fall or get hit. The image does not seem to change at all. No OSM shows up, nor input menu, or channel indicator when changing channels. It just stays the same. I was going to order a t-con board for it, but I found this awesome forum and decided to ask you guys before using the parts-cannon method on it.

Thanks for any help that you can give!...

Hello all, I'm Richard. I spent my early adulthood working in car audio/video/security and then later as a mechanic. These days I just fix things for myself. Component level repairs have always been a step beyond me, but I think it's time to change that!
