Check the capacitors before dropping hundreds on a new TV. They're fairly easy to replace if you feel comfortable working with voltage that could hurt a bit.

Or just Google "(your tv model) sound but no picture"

I think it's the TV Ribbon cable... I remember my husband messing with it several months ago when the TV started acting up... Those are replaceable too I think...?? If not...

Even if you unplug it first? My dad is an electrical engineer and was a TV repairman in the 90's (mind you that' when TV's were as fat as cars) I'm sure he could replace it.

If he's an electrical engineer then he knows what he's doing.

But capacitors can carry a lethal amount of charge in them for years.

O.O good to know! I guess I'll just have to man up and tell my husband if he doesn't see this post first lol.


I looked and the new ribbons online aren't too expensive. Under $50 which is nice.

The small capacitors in a TV (assuming the smaller ones are the problem) won't be enough to kill you. It'll give you a pretty nasty shock at most.

It's still probably best you get someone to look at it though.

Whenever you work with something circuitry you should always discharge nearby capacitors. The caps in a TV are not typically big enough to be lethal (smaller than your thumb = okay). I didn't recommend 'fucking' with a capacitor, I recommended checking them and replacing if necessary. Responsible handiwork is rewarding and safe if you learn how to do it.

The alternative is that you can take it to a repair shop and get charged $200+ to do 20 minutes of work or buy a new TV. Assuming that's the problem, which is very well might not be.
