My LG 42LK530 hdtv is 2.5 years old. The other day, I turned on the tv and was watching a movie when the video quality started changing and became dim and colors started getting darker. I could see that the picture started losing its contrast and colors and then the tv lost the picture altogether. This all happened in about 2 minutes. I think the tv felt hotter than normal but cant say for sure. The TV can be turned off and ON and the sound comes but no picture anymore. If I turn the TV ON in the dark, I can see the backlight turning on but no picture now. I can change channels etc with the remote although screen is not showing anything. I opened the back cover of the tv and a visual inspection doesnt show any discoloration or burnt component or capacitor issue.

Is it a T-Conn issue or any other issue?

Please help.

Yep, this time around, I will buy a Sony. But its a pity that I paid good amount of money for a TV which went kaput in two years and I would like to see if I can fix it and use it in my bedroom.

From the looks of it, I feel that the LCD is not the culprit but I would like to hear from you peeps out there to find out if anyone has been through this and if you were able to troubleshoot it and fix it?

Cheers
