Re: LCD TV has sound and menus but no picture (another philips 37)

Well, there was no power cut when it happened.

It did actually happen when I was setting up a Philips branded universal remote. So, I guess it is possible that it was my tinkering that corrupted the settings file. And, this is an embarrassing thing to admit at this point.

This whole event makes we want to take primary course in electronics, just to understand some of the basics. Knowing how to solder well would have come in handy a few times in the past.

thanks.

I want to thank you for responding to my little post.

I've managed to "fix" my television with the help you tom66's response.
While trying to work around the service menus of my TV, I discovered that the picture did return once I had entered the "Service Default Mode/SDM" and the "Service Alignment Mode/SAM". While thumbing though the menus trying to find some indication of tom's "EEPROM reset", I noticed that the TV's "picture mute" had been...

Hello everyone,

I have an LCD television that has no picture from cable signal or dvd player.
It DOES have sound and I CAN access the screen's menus.

Originally, I thought that this was likely due to faulty inverter boards (one or both) but since I can use the on-screen menus and see the channel numbers I'm beginning to have doubts. I have opened up the back of the unit. I can see nothing that looks visibly damaged. (no burnt or broken areas and no bulging capacitors)

Can a faulty inverter rob me of my picture but still leave me with menus?...
