hi is there anyone that could shed some light toward my problem with my soundwave tp3230dvb lcd tv Picture loss, Sound Remains after 10 minutes from cold ,the on button has a blue led ring which eluminates when off in standby and then goes off when you turn on the tv & remains as supposed to while on .As before 10minutes i counted then it becomes black screen of death appears with sound still active .The next thing is i turn it off then turn it back on the picture is fine & will be for half to an hour or when i decide to change channel on the cable receiver ,i have been in menu to see if there is a setting but it was fine for about 13months & was in the boys room used regular with xbox360.please can anyone shed light toward this problem iam able to strip & repair & solder .with regards

hi killivot thanks for the reply buddy but the tv has been in our possesion & used for 13 to 14months daily till it started.now heres the wierd thing its been on now for the last 2hours since it went off.been through the whole manual & user menu & every which way but loose, iam trying every avenue that can be suggested before i start checking for dry joints & possible thermo breaks etc.it would be great if anyone else had the same problem to the letter so icould act ,at the moment its like shooting in the dark .but you are right about demo modes & default settings alike.thankyou for your input buddy appreciated.regards

Thankyou for your reply killivolt.Crazy haunted tv this killivolt its still on & i have dvd through the xbox & had it on all night .The tv is still on as iam typing with the cable box attached so i used the 7to10seconf trick& it seems to have reset it 'i hope with fingers crossed ,but ithink it wouldve stopped by now in reality .Iwill post back later after ihave triedcall of duty4 &gears of wars 1&2 to try & shake up this apple to get an affect,hopefully not .many thanks & regards.
