My issue is similar to the thread [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21752[/url] but not the same, and I didn't want to hijack it so I made my own thread.

I am looking at a friends DP42848. When turning on the unit it will display picture for a second or two and then go black.

I first tried doing a factory reset, aka holding Vol- while powering on the tv. When I did this, instead of being static when it showed the screen it was all blue and still powered off. I pushed the power button again after it powered off to turn it back on and the unit stayed...
