This is an older unit with the seperate media receiver. If the unit is unplugged overnight it will display for about 30 seconds before it turns off. When this happens I get a slow blinking power light. I checked all the fuses and removed the power board to check for cold solder joints. One thing I find odd is i have 123 vac coming in at the main fuse, but when I power it up I only have 120 for a split second then it cuts down to 67vac.

I tried to isolate the problem by hooking up the dvi output of the reciever to a known good monitor when I powered it up today. That showed the same results. I had about a minute of the screen working on a known good monitor followed by a loss of video (signal). The audio worked the whole time.

I also hooked a dvi dvd player up through the display after that and I could not get any video. Every time I did that I got the blinking green light. Strangely if I hooked the 42" display to the receiver I would not get video, however I did not get any blinking light either. I may take the cover off the reciever unit tomorrow and see if any caps look swolen or if I can identify any other irregularitites.

The tv will power up fine as long as there is not a dvi cable plugged in. To make sure it was not the receiver I plugged a seperate dvd player through the dvi cable into the tv. The tv had audio, but as soon I plugged the dvi into the panel it shutdown and led8004 came on.
