Smart TV screen black but sound working

4.5

The TV has audio and responds to commands, but the display remains completely dark.

Symptoms
  • Sound present
  • Backlight might be visible in dark room
  • Flashlight test shows image
Possible Causes
  • Backlight LED failure
  • T-Con board failure
  • Inverter board failure

Step-by-Step Fix

1

The Flashlight Test

Shine a bright light close to the screen. If you see a faint image, the backlight is dead.

2

Check Connections

Ensure HDMI cables are secure as a loose connection can sometimes drop video but keep audio.

3

Reset Picture Settings

If you can see the menu faintly, try resetting the picture settings.

When to See a Technician

If the flashlight test fails to show an image, the issue is likely the T-Con board or the panel itself.
