Title: Toshiba 26C3030D no menu
Post by: slimjimmy on September 22, 2010,06:14:48

I have a toshiba 26C3030D, when it is first switched on the backlight is on but there is no menu or picture.
There is no response from remote or buttons on TV.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, forgot to say if TV is left switched on eventually it will start working.

Hi,
Don't have this one listed - wonder what boards are fitted - Vestel/Beko/whatever.

Piccy would be nice - Chris.

Hi,

Have you tried switching the set to analogue when it is in fault??

If the analogue works ok , then you probably need to reload the firmware

Hi, Bri,
Just a thought. If it works Ok after a while - why is firmware required ?

Ever ancient and ignorant -  Is 'Firmware' EEprom re-programming stuff, or something rather more turgid - Very curious - Chris.

Hi Chris,

Sorry, yes you are right, missed that bit!!

I have had the same thing with the 32inch where it was intermittent on the Freeview side, and it turned out to a dodgy plug on one of the plugs that plug into the freeview board.

I had to replace the lead, but you might find its no longer available, could try 'wiggling' to prove it when its in fault??

If it is the lead then try recrimping the connectors in the plug

Hi again Brian,

No-one has admitted knowing the actual maker, or supplied piccies, and as I have neither the 26 or 32 Tosh version listed, don't know whether to have a Beko into the Vestel file, or quite what - Chris.

I have the same TV with exactly the same problem.  I opened it up about 3 weeks ago and re-seated all the plugs and all was well... But... It's back... Gray screen, which eventually turns blue with no response from any controls!..  Does it really need to go to the Skip or does anybody have any bright ideas??

Hi All
Had this problem a couple of times and its been a duff lcd panel. Usually it can be proved by holding the top corners of the screen and giving it a twist while the fault is present. If the picture returns you've found your problem.
Regards
John.

Nice one John,

Had it a while ago, but forgot - the twist showed the fault - pity as it became scrap - Chris.
