Hearing audio but seeing a blank screen? Don’t worry—it’s a common issue that can often be resolved without professional help. Here’s how to approach it:
1. Check the Backlight
Shine a flashlight directly on the screen while it’s on. If you can faintly see images, your TV’s backlight may be malfunctioning.
2. Power Cycle the TV
Unplug the TV from the wall, wait 60 seconds, and plug it back in. This resets the internal circuits and often resolves display problems.
3. Try a Different Input Source
Use a different HDMI port or device to test if the current video source is the issue. It might be a problem with your console or streaming device, not the TV.
4. Adjust Picture Settings
Using the remote, access your TV’s picture settings (if possible). The brightness or contrast settings might be turned all the way down accidentally.
5. Check the Cable Connections
Loose or damaged HDMI cables can result in audio-only playback. Securely reconnect or replace the video cables.
If none of these steps work, the issue could be with the display panel or T-Con board, which usually requires expert repair.
