5. Select the STORE menu item When the set is in PC mode and there is no VGA signal present at PC-in connector, the set will shutdown to standby in couple of seconds after showing �NO VIDEO INPUT�. This is a normal behaviour of the set to safe power. The Scaler is the driving engine of the LCD panel. When there is no display and OSD on screen, check whether sound is producible on TV channel. If sound is audible, most likely the defective lies in Scaler board or inverter board. To know fast whether inverter is functioning, visually check if the backlights are �on� by looking at the back of the LCD panel. Some bright spots can be seen on the side. Other way to tell whether the backlight is working is to switch the set to AV mode. The front of the screen had some kind of �fogged� effect. Note: when one of the backlight connectors has loosened, the inverter circuit will be shut down. If the supply to the LCD panel is OK (likewise for backlight supply), but no data signals (example: signals on connector 1506) supplied from Scaler to LCD panel, you will notice that the LCD screen will shown full screen in sequential of BLUE, GREEN, RED, BLANK, dark-GREY, light-GREY and WHITE repeatedly. It means LCD panel is in good condition. The fault lies in the Scaler board
