Hi,
In the past i have owned CRT televisions but i went to an LCD with fluorescent backlight several years ago.
Up to now it has worked ok but a little strange sometimes, but it was never as bad as it seems now because now sometimes it will not turn on. That is, the display will not light up. I still get sound, but the display does not light up until after i disconnect power from the power plug rather than turn it off with the remote, and then plug it back in and turn it back on. It seems to need a few minutes 'rest' between running on standby to running on full screen power.
It runs on standby because when i turn it off it stays plugged in, and the power light lights up as orange, but when it is turned on fully it lights up blue.
After i disconnect it entirely and let it rest for a minute it will turn back on.
This is my first LCD TV even though i had monitors much longer. Is this a standard failure mode for this kind of television set? Maybe something is going inside that can be repaired?
Thanks for any ideas.
