Panasonic TX-28DK1 AV3 no picture problem

Snowyhyde · 15-04-2009, 9:15 AM

The AV3 input on my TX-28DK1 panasonic TV has decided that it doesn't want to show any picture from my PS3 any more. The screen is completely blank. There is audio, and I have tried different cables and inputting the PS3 into both AV1 and AV2 with the scart adaptor and the image is fine on those channels. I have also input a DV camera, again sound but no image. Thus I think it must be the tvset rather than other equipment or cables. This problem arose seemingly overnight, is there a fix,or is my telly just old and tired?

With something plugged into AV3 and switched on try pressing the Red, Green and Yellow fastext buttons.

Thanks JayCee,
That didn't work unfortunately. I was all excited, but no. Any other ideas?
Many thanks

do you get a picture if you wriggle the scart lead? could have a dry joint on the socket if the other sockets are fine

Hey Carter,
There is no picture at all. The AV3 inputs arn't scart, it's the white red and yellow inputs. When I put them into a scart adapter the image and sound is fine. Thanks though.

Hi Snowyhyde, not sure if you've found the solution yet - I just found it on another thread - When you scroll to AV3 try pressing the right/left selection arrows. There is a difference between AV3 and S-VideoAV3.
Hope this helps (I nearly sent my 5 month old panny off for repair).

Hi,

Did anyone manage to solve this problem? I have exactly the same issue - AV3 sound but no video.

Cheers,

Andrew

Did you try the solution in the post above?

Hiya,

Yes, I tried switching between the AV3 and AV3 S-Video, as well as pressing the fast-text buttons you suggested, but with no luck. Did you mean pressing them all at the same time?

Cheers,

Andrew

No.
What have you connected to the AV3 input?

I did have a Playstation 3 plugged in. However I tried a camera with video cable and that doesn't work either so I am sure it is the video socket that is faulty.

It should just be a case of pressing the TV/AV button then the yellow fastext button should select AV3.
The actual socket itself isn't prone to damage, it could be a software problem with the set and if it is probably not economical to fix.

I'll give it all a go and let you know. Thanks for taking the time to help.
