Hi.

My son has a ONN HD TV (originally purchased from Tesco a couple of years ago) and when he switched it on today the screen flashes totally blue then totally green then red.

Whatever he does with the remote control wont make any difference. There is no sound at all.

Does this mean the TV is completely Kaput??!!

He's not at all happy so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot.

    possibly a loose HD or SCART lead.
    How do I add a signature?

    He unplugged the HD lead from TV to his xbox but is still the same. He switched it off at the mains and plugged it into another socket on the extension - still the same.

    Not looking good is it?!

    Sounds to me that you are in "Burn in mode"
    Try this using your remote

    In order to reach service menu,
    -- First Press “MENU”
    -- Then press the remote control code, which is “4725”

    In OPTIONS 1 you have "Burn in mode" If YES change to NO.
