Possibly the fan is clogged up, but I think amber (orange) LED means it can't detect an input.

i got caught out, you say you had it given, could it have had fans, especially in view of the fact the service manual says so.

your probably right tony, but i've just notice there's no aerial connection, so i think this uses avc box to obtain a picture thanks for the interest

Ah yes, i had a Bush brought in a few years ago, it was the same as yours, its called a media box. and on this one i had to wait until they brought the box in. Same symptoms!

The 42PMA400E is a monitor for use with a PC or other video imaging devices. When the sync signal is no longer detected, the indicator lamp of the power source changes to orange and the mode switches to power save mode. From the user manual.
