Problem with TV

Hi was wondering if anyone could help, we won a Philps LCD 15inch TV some months ago and due to us decorating we didnt open it, now i have just come to fit it in our bedroom and when its all wired up all i get is a blank bluish screen with lines across, then they fade after a few seconds and then all is just blue. Anyone got any ideas could it be the power lead? We dont even know which shop it is from as it was a prize.

Any ideas?

    Have you scanned for channels?

    I have a Bush LCD tv and when there is no input (ie sky box off or dvd off) then I get a blue screen. As above try scanning for the channels and see if the manual says anything about it. A quick test is to connect something like a dvd player to the scart connection and power that up. At lease you will be able to tell straight away if the screen is all ok.
    Cheers

  • hi thanks for your reseponse, the screen is the same whether the aerial is plugged in or not. I have tried scanning for channels but no joy there. Will try connecting to DVD and see how i get on. Not sure what else to do.

    Would Comet etc perhaps fix it or have any ideas if i took to one of their stores for some advise?
  • Hi have tried adding a different power lead as i thought this might be the problem but it is still the same, anyone else have anymore ideas?

    Thanks
