Nowadays, a rare person does without a TV. Every year the models are getting thinner, bigger and offer more and more new and new functionality. Modern plasma TVs with Smart TV technology have little to do with devices that were sold some ten years ago. However, the general between the old and the new generation still remains - breakdowns and malfunctions still occur. The reasons for this can be very different: shock, fall, ingress of moisture and direct sunlight, or elementary marriage. In this article we will take a closer look at what to do if the TV has an image gone and there is sound. Let's figure it out. Go!

What to do if there is no image on the TV

First, it should be noted that such a malfunction occurs quite often in various brands of televisions. TVs of all brands are equally affected by this: Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony, Panasonic and many others. Therefore, it makes no sense to blame the manufacturer.

The reasons for the lack of image on the screen are many, and it is unlikely that you will be able to determine it yourself by eye. Most likely, you will still have to contact the service center or another repair service. It all depends on the nature of the problem. More on this below.

It happens that when you turn on the TV, a splash screen appears with a manufacturer's logo (LG, Samsung, Philips, and so on), after which the screen just goes blank. At the same time you can switch channels and hear the sound. Some users noticed that after a while the image appears, but when you turn it on again, everything repeats and the picture is missing. In this case, try the following tips:

• Check the connection of the receiver cord, as it could be disconnected. Make sure the cord is connected securely.
  

• Also, the problem may be in the cable itself. The wire may be damaged or simply turn out to be of poor quality. This concerns HDMI cables. In some cases, replacing the wire allows you to correct the situation.
• Check the power cable. It must also be securely connected.
• Some users have found a fairly original way to solve the problem - turn up the volume to the maximum (or close to it). After a few seconds, the image will appear and then you can set an acceptable volume level.

Please note that all the above tips will help only if the screen is working. This is indicated by the splash screen when you turn on the TV. If the screen saver is missing and the screen is constantly dark, this already indicates that some component of the TV that is responsible for the image has failed.

There are several components, the failure of which can cause the lack of pictures on the screen. Quite often there is a breakdown of the inverter, which supplies voltage to the backlight lamps. Also, the lamps themselves can fail, and this, in turn, provokes a breakdown of the power supply. In addition to the above malfunctions, there is often a failure of the matrix or the motherboard. Also the problem may lie in the cables, the converter and the decoder. In this case, the non-working parts and elements will have to be replaced with new ones.

It is not recommended to perform repairs on your own, since modern TVs are quite complex devices, and you risk aggravating the situation even more. The most correct decision will be to turn to professionals. This may be a service center of a manufacturing company or a private office where repairs will be carried out efficiently and promptly.

One way or another, it is impossible to determine what causes the breakdown of your particular TV. In any case, the device must be disassembled and diagnosed for non-working parts and components. It’s best to do it in a workshop with the appropriate conditions, however, if you don’t like this option, many TV masters provide all these services at home.

Of course, the replacement of some parts can fly into a pretty penny, but it should be noted that by themselves the matrix or motherboard fail very rarely. Typically, a breakdown occurs as a result of physical damage to the part, for example, when the TV is dropped or moisture gets in. In general, you will not do without a telemaster.

Now you know what to do if the TV image is lost, but there is sound. Also, you will understand what could be the cause of such a malfunction.
