Anyone know how to fix Projection T.V.s?

[DJ Hookid]

I got a Panasonic either 52 or 55 inch Projection 1080i HDTV and the other day it just stopped turning on. The power button blinks on and off but I get no picture or Sound. I think it may be a fuse but I dont know how to check that shit out! I am willing to pay anyone that can fix my tv. Thanks for your time. :thumbup:

Tube? Can you elaborate? I dont know a lot about tvs

[kylevtec]

when the light blinks like that its a power supply problem. look on ebay, a tv repair place will charge upwards of 1k and 2 weeks turn around

sounds like the tube.

since when does a projection tv have a tube?

[DJ Hookid]

What would I look for?

[kylevtec]

your model, and power supply. if the tv is more then a few years old they get pricey

[DJ Hookid]

I see.... So Im probably better off buying a new tv. Yeah the tv is a few years old now. I guess I could upgrade to a new Flat Screen...

[DJ Hookid]

Anyone wanna buy her? I guess Im buying a new one. $150 and she's yours.

no warranty?

where do you have this plugged in?
is it to the wall or to a power strip?

my t.v. would do the exact same thing. I had it plugged into a power strip, i then unscrewed the back pannel, and just by touching the circut board with a metal object the t.v. started working again. it then happened again and i called a t.v. repair man that charged me 60$ just for looking at the t.v.

turns out it was just the power supply. it was a five year old t.v. and the power supply was getting kinda wierd. just by changing what wall socket it was plugged into, or by cycling on and off the power strip the t.v. would work.

No I bought the TV off my aunt, Don't know when she got it but its around 5 years old and warranty was only for 3.

Is connected directly to the wall, Im gonna try using a different wall socket but Im pretty sure Im getting a new t.v. now so Im not too worried about it. :)

Hmm. good luck man, if it was a DLP, I would say to replace the bulb, but other than that, don't know what to say! Have you looked online for a manual?

I just picked me up a 46" Sony Bravia Flatscreen the other day... GTA never looked so good!

[DJ Hookid]

Im gonna have it looked at tomorrow but I actually got hooked up with a 55" widescreen Mitsubishi so that should work for now. If its affordable to fix Ill prolly throw it in my room.
