You sometime get a reset button on the back of the tv. I’ve had sound but no picture and pressing it reset it, it’s tiny, and usually need a pin to press it 

I'll have a proper look tomorrow. I did a factory reset but same issue. The little telly from the bedroom will do for now.

I had my 6 year old TV fry itself in some sort of audio visual suicide after my Mrs got back from holiday and spent 48 hours solid watching love Island in catch up.

Some guy up Breightmet fixed it by replacing a board within the TV. £130.

It's still going now 6 years on. Need a new one now really. 

Aye might be worth seeing if it's just the board that needs changing. Cheers

Gonna be like Granddad in only fools watching one tv without sound and picture and another with sound and no picture

A few months ago my telly screen started to turn black when watching. It would start in all corners moving to the center till it was completely black. Looks turned off but can still hear the sound.

It would work fine once turned off and on again for a week or so but tonight it's done it all fucking night.

I've tried resetting the tv and cleaning out all the cable ends but nowt seems to be working.

Time for a new one or is it fixable?

Advertise it on the facebook pages that attract blind folk.

Had me for a sec 😂

Just don't watch telly anymore.

My telly blew up once in the middle of that documentary film about The Stone Roses reforming, I didn't bother replacing it until the Euros or World Cup, can't remember which, I think it was Brazil 2014, but I didn't have a telly for about four months.

Fix it by hitting the screen with a hammer.

You're going to think I'm taking the piss, but I've done this with several "knackered" TV's that would have gone to to the tip otherwise. Remove the control board and put it in on a piece of cardboard, cover it with alumium foil, then stick it in the oven for 20 minutes on 200 degrees. It re-flows all the solder and makes it good as new. I promise.

this works, do it with laptop motherboards

I’m guessing your TV’s fucked, time to buy a new one, they’re cheap enough these days.

Move on, nothing to see here.

HTH.

For clarity, is this two separate sentences or just the one?

Mine is 58”. Bigger than me!

or is it actually you plus 58”?

I've done it to 4 TV's now, which would have otherwise ended up as landfill. All 4 still working perfectly years later.

4 years is nothing. I expected at least 8 out of the one I've got.

Got a Sony on order. Hisense can fuck off.

You've not enabled some kind of energy saving mode by accident have you?

Some makes have an eco mode that will darken the screen if they think they are in a highly lit room.

Surely that would happen all at once, and not by "direct debit" as he described it initially.

All you got to do is cook it. Might even throw a night's stay in Tenby towers.
