Mine did that about a year ago and I took it to a repair shop. It cost about $150 to get it fixed. The repairman said a circuit board was bad. Maybe the power supply?? I don't know much about them but I'm sure you can find help here. Good luck.

lucky me!

Awsome! TV fixed. Thanks again for the help.

Got the engine today. EXACT replacement. Had to go to a funeral so I didn't get it in but that's on the top of my list for tomorrow. Will let you know the results.

I hope they don't have a shelf life! LOL! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hopefully the light engine will fix it. If so you sure saved me some money. The individual parts in that unit are expensive when purchased seperately!

yes. I tore into the tv and removed the light engine to compare with pics before I bought it. thanks again for the help on that. I have already purchased a new tv but if I can fix the akai I'll just use it elswhere in my home. :D

Thanks!! I'll look into it.

Have had this TV for about 4 years. TV started coming on with sound then no picture. Turn on and off a couple times then it would work. Finally it will come on for about 20 seconds with picture that looks like an old photo negative then go black. The color has gone off and on for over a year. Put in...
