Sounds like the fl tube inverter board power is failing. All flat panel screens us thin fluorescent tubes to light the edges of the screen, and when the tubes fail either from age or due to a power issue the screen will go black.

If you can still hear the channel and change channels when it goes black, then it will be the T-Con board that is playing up.

SOURCE: Black Line down center of screen

Had the same problem.  Was quoted $800 to fix.  Searched the internet for 6 months and found this thread on avforums.com

Read through all the posts.  Very simple fix, but you have to have some mechanical inclinations or you can cause more problems than you started with.  I was up to 5 of the black lines, but decided to attempt the soldering these guys did and fixed it all for the cost of a soldering iron!

SOURCE: Vizio GV42L LCD TV screen black when turn TV on first time

If you are using a set top box this might be caused by turnig the box on at the same tie as you turn the tv on or slightly after you turn the tv on.  If you are using compnent or HDMI inputs the set needs to see the signal as it is turned on to know what formt the signal is in.

SOURCE: AUDIOVOX VE1020 has audio, but no video

Ok, here is a bizarro solution that just worked for me. It is a solution to the problem, not a technical fix.
1 Turn unit on
2 Using remote control unit press "DVD" button, upper left.
(When I did this the Audiovox screen appeared)
3 Then using remote control unit press "TV" button, upper left next to DVD button.
(For my unit, this gave me a TV picture)

Strange, huh?

If the power light stays on green, I would look tward a backlight issue. If you can see any image at all then the backlight controler or the backlights are bad. If there is nothing then if could be a power supply overheating or an inverter failure. More than likely as the unit heats up a failed solder connection is loosing contact causing the screen to go black.

that would be your Ysus board and could also be your Zsus board, if you puchased it from costco over 1 1/2 years ago you can take it back for full refund

I am trying to connect my Nintendo Entertainment System to my Seiki TV, but it's not working.

It's possible that the connection between your Nintendo Entertainment System and Seiki TV isn't properly set up. Here are some steps you can try:
  1. Ensure that your Nintendo Entertainment System is properly connected to your Seiki TV. You can use the red and white AV jack to connect the audio cables, and the yellow jack to connect the video cable.
  2. Once you've made sure that everything is connected properly, turn on both your Nintendo Entertainment System and Seiki TV.
  3. On your Seiki TV, go to the "Input" or "Source" button on your remote control and select "AV" or "Composite" as the input source.
  4. If your screen still flashes black and blue, try unplugging and plugging in the cables again, making sure that they are securely connected to both your Nintendo Entertainment System and Seiki TV.
  5. If you're still having trouble, try using a different set of AV cables, as the cables may be damaged.
If none of these steps work, it's possible that either your Nintendo Entertainment System or Seiki TV is not working properly. You may need to seek further technical assistance to diagnose and fix the problem.

Seiki SE42FYT turns off after logo appears across screen

Hi,

Please disconnect all accessories. Then turn on your tv again. Please make sure that neither the power button on the tv or that on your remote is stuck because this could lead to the issues that you've mentioned. Otherwise, you'd need to factory reset your tv.

Thank you.

I have TV Seiki model SE50FY28 when we turn on the TV, it works for a minute then the screen goes black, we still have audio and the flashlight test shows a faint image, what may the problem be?

Probably the back light inverter is faulty . Before going to buy a new inverter board tey to check the power supply. Which the bellow added video to know how to check a power supply board. You have to check the 24V power sto the inverter board from the power supply. if its not there then the problem is with power board. If its ok then you have to go for a new inverter board. Also try to replace the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply board. some times bad electrolytic capacitors can lead to back light failure.

How to replace backlight on seiki led tv

Back light bulbs don't usually go out. The ballasts that control the lights do often. Check the operation of the ballast board first.

SEIKI SE322FS LED TV won't turn on, but power light is on

From your description there are blown electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board,a visual inspection will show bulged burst or leaky caps.I am assuming there is no sound or pic and no visible light from the screen.I must assume you have no prior electrical service knowledge and warn of possible high voltages being present on the primary side of the power supply at the 400volt filter cap
also be sure to unplug the set before removing the back pannel

keep safe
