SOURCE: VIZIO 42" Plasma HDTV

i have a vizio p42 and i have sound but no picture i have tryed to reset it but nothing works

SOURCE: Picture Mode reverts always to Dynamic after several minutes

The set was a store demo, and the options were set so they could not be adjusted. On instruction from Samsung I pressed MENU and VOLUME buttons on the side of the set and hold for 7 seconds The display reverts to Standard from Dynamic. The Remote Options button showed Store Demo, but now shows Standard. All memory functions seem to function now. Thanks for your help.

Your TV is on display mode!! The problems that you are having I had with my new TV.. Call Samsung or go online to their website and it will tell you exactly how to fix that small problem. As for the blue light, just go to setup and under light effect you will be able to choose when you want the light to come on.. I hope this is helpful...

Usually if the LVDS cable between the main board and the T-CON board is bad, you will loose one of the three color signals, you may have thermal problem with the T-CON board. I would run the TV with the back open to see if it will take longer for the problem to appear, or get a can of freeze spray for electronic troubleshooting and cool down the T-CON board (board is under the metal shield that you will have to remove to get to all the cables, I would remove the shield and put the screws back in to keep the T-CON board in place).
The TV as shown in my album has bad T-CON board, the pictures get pixelated and scrambled after about 1/2 hour, I was using a small fan to keep it cool until I finally found a replacement T-CON board. Bad LVDS driver IC on the main board can also be the problem. Right now we need to find out if it is heat related problem or not.
