Help Needed : TV suddenly stopped working.
Hi Folks,
I am using Toshiba 99 cm (39 inch) HD Ready LED TV (39P2305ZE, Black) and bought this 6 years back in the month of June for about 33k if i am not wrong. Today suddenly while i was watching tv the display started blinking and i turned it off and again when i turned it on i could only see a yellow light on the bottom of my tv which means it booted and also i could hear some sound of my tv box connected. So is the display gone now?
If motherboard was an issue, it wouldn’t even have booted right?
What shall i do in this case now? How much will these guys charge if in case i need to replace my display or what are the other TV options available as far as new brands are concerned. I know we have brands like VU, mmx, moto, kotak etc which are very cheap but what about their reliability and after sales support? Also considering the corona scare in my area i don’t think it would be an great idea to call their technician for checking my tv set now 
Your suggestions will be appreciated. #JJkanasibkharabchalrahhailockdownme (PS- Situation is getting worse in my vicinity and my bad luck now)

This lockdown in my area and spike in corona cases ruined up everything.
I too want to know the exact issue but i am helpless too now @bikidas2060
Display started blinking means maybe it is a backlit issue. Maybe it is some controller issue. Only the repair dude can tell. Bhai, I really don’t know about the brands you have mentioned. You might go with Moto/Kodak because of their past brand value I guess. Let’s read some user reviews on them.
Have you noticed any voltage fluctuations ? Or is your tv connected with stabilizer ?
Plug it out from all connections and dust well (using vacuum cleaner if available).. and then reconnect it to check your luck. (It may seems weird idea, but sometimes it will work.. try it once)
Yes there are voltage fluctuations because my utility is a govt body.
I’ll try to unplug and replug my tv as well but i don’t have a vaccum cleaner.
बेच do
Correct that’s what I will also suggest.
Get it checked by mechanics and get an idea of repair cost if it exceeds 5-6k better not to repair.
Insted buy a new 32" one which will cost around same.
Repair will never give a orignal quality and experience and will always be more prone to issues in future.
Questions that might help you take decisions
1. Are you in tier1/tier 2 city?
2. If yes, you might get a quote(may be repair) via urban clap (there might be offers). If no, you need to call local vendors/stores technicians.
3. Can you wait till lockdown? Have a spare TV (prepare till end of this year) (if worried about coronavirus from technicians)
4. Did you see youtube? (Many may faced similar issue)
5. Can you spare money to buy a new one? (Are you satisfied by 6 years lifetime)
6. If yes, we can discuss this later
My personal opinion -
1. Ask technician to home to see the TV. (cover his face with mask ans use sanitizer)
2. Get quote
3. If resonable get it repaired
4. If no give counter offer to buy tv
5. get a new tv in prime day
6. If can wait till lockdown (6 months) you can take decision later
Great bro you covered most of the points. But who will enter a RED zone let’s c.
Well if i get it replaced with another one i’ll sell this to those showroom fellas only and some additional discount. I’ll have to local quote now it’s just that our wing has more than 7+ positive cases (luckily no one in my floor). They will enter our house and if god forbid something happens and then everyone will have to suffer.
Buying 32 inch Vu or some other brand seems a good idea considering age of your TV, Corona scare/ lockdown situation, estimated cost of repair.
Go for VU smart tv or android tv. Thats it, repairing would easily cost 2-4k
ask local technician to have look and estimate the cost. if its minimal then get it repaired or else buy new one. sell off the old tv to repair guys. they will reuse the parts.
Thoko tali 
My TV automatically changing colour for some time or some minutes daily. But it is working m using since 2004
CRT TV?? May be it is having some sort of external magnetic interference. It must be happening on the corners.
Time to buy mini LED based TV
i think its led fault. many time these leds r burnt u hv to simply change it..if u r jugadi then try youtube videos.i hv same problem n resolved it.if u need my help dm me
If there is no display but you are able to hear sounds properly and able to change channels with remote and hear changed channels properly, it could be that the backlight of your tv has either gone bad or not receiving proper power.
If you don’t hear and see anything, the problem could be with motherboard or power supply unit.
You can search YouTube videos on these lines if this interests you.
From your post, it seems you are more inclined towards buying a new one.
I don’t have dth connection and I just had my tv box connected to my led tv and converted into a smart one. The day it conked off it had some sound coming out from the speaker output which indicated that it’s the display which is faulty i suppose and whatever it is repair won’t be so cheap so i was look for buy a new one and now since the tv box is off there isn’t any noise coming from the speaker but still its showing me that yellow light which means the tv is on.
do u guys use stabilizer? is it a must?
It is Not must. I have never used one. At one point, I had even removed it from ac. If electricity in your area fluctuates, you should use one no matter whether rest of the world uses it or not.
Even my TV too not working properly from few days. i Facing issue in screen. I claimed my (5 years) warranty they told me.. they will give.me replacement.. within 15 days
Which is yours btw?
And how come 5 years 
So are you planning to repair or buy a new one?
Product is still awaiting parents approval 
Hisense brand on fk is giving 5 years warranty on panel. Now panel includes everything apart from m motherboard and sound right?
@DealBroker23 @Deal_Breaker_ @bikidas2060 @deepsoni25
Yes
If you are free and want to do some hobby during this lockdown, this might be a fun to repair a tv. 
Humour –
Also you may keep the TV if IPL happens 
Suggestions – Chooose RCB 
Haha 
Well this year it’s in Dubai.
I also have Phlips TV and purchased from Vijay sales. They never told me about 5 years warranty 
That might be a specific duration offer.
I had repaired my toshiba led. Today again the display started flickering so today the technician told me that the pcb in my power supply is shorted because of which the display is flickering and this will again cost me 3.5k
So I’ve decided to buy a new one now. My preference is Sony then comes Samsung and finally LG. Please suggest me some good model.
43 inch Full HD LED TV (2020 model)
TIA

@mrKool_JJ whats your budget ?
30-35k should suffice my requirement i guess right
@mrKool_JJ 43um7300 is a good model and you are getting a good price. I would say go for it. Btw, you are from which state ?
Yes i very well know that this is a great price but still i want some more discount because dil maange more. I am from Maharashtra.
Are you using this model? But the main thing is even after investing about 34k i won’t be able to use properly since i don’t have STB i use thop tv/oreo tv on my tv box and watch live channels. I guess this WebOS doesn’t support any apk file but still i am not sure though.
If that’s the case i’ll go for fullhd led since getting a 4k tv without this basic feature doesn’t make sense.
Awaiting your reply Amit bhai
Dont go for brand service center (since its out of warranty and seemingly old one) , they would create a huge bill and then you would think buying a new one was more feasible .
Would recommend to get it checked for the issue once from some known/ trusted local mechanic, and see what he quotes.
Then think whether to get it repaired or buy a new one
This is the issue with LEDs , display is very volatile
