Toshiba Regza fades to black

I have a 42" Toshiba Regza about five years old.  Recently, when I turn it on the picture shows for a second and then fades to black.  The audio still works during this time.  I turn it off and on a few times and finally the picture stays.  Anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it?  I've unplugged and replugged everything with no luck.  Thanks!

I'm not sure what would cause this, but you may want to reset the TV to factory settings if that's an option in the menu. Then (even if it isn't an option), turn the TV off and unplug it from power over night. If the problem persists, it may need servicing.

  • Toshiba Regza Screen Goes Black

    The TV turns on and the screen shows image for a second but immediately goes entirely black then shows image again and immediately goes and stays black.  The green LED in the back stays on the whole time.  The actual model is 40XF550U, dated March 2008.
    Also, I remember I tried this in my garage where there is a weaker power source and the amber/yellow light blinks 3x twice then makes the click sound as if it were to turn on and the blue light that runs under the screen turns on as well but the image stays black.
    Anyone else experience this? I have unplugged it and will plug it back in tomorrow (as other posts have suggested), any parts other have replaced?

    Unfortunately, if that doesn't help, it may require servicing.

  • Mac Mini on Toshiba Regza Z3030 42" via DVI- HDMI

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect a Core2Duo Mac Mini (running 10.4.11) to a 42" Toshiba Regza Z3030 Full-HD TV via a DVI-HDMI cable. The TV does 1920x1080 (both i and p), but when I select 1920x1080 (interlaced) from the display resolution menu in System Preferences, I get a black frame around the image that is twice as large on the right side of the picture than it is on the left or top/bottom sides (so even if I enable overscan, the picture is not acceptable, as it's missing a strip of the desktop on the left, top and bottom sides then).
    I'm running the TV on "Exact Scan" mode, which (according to the manual), should display a 1080 signal exactly the way it is received from the source, no stretching or scaling at all.
    Incidentally, the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning progress indicator fills the screen completely in 1080i, but as soon as the login panel comes up, the picture gets the black bars, so I think it's a MacOS X issue. Can I somehow tell the Mac not to switch the display settings after the booting process is finished, as the image during the boot process is perfect?
    Any hints on what I could try?
    Thanks in advance,
    Georg

    Ok, I decided to take some more time and googled for how SwitchResX actually works and what all the settings in the "custom resolution" view mean. I stumbled across a very useful tutorial in this forum thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=751713
    Following these instructions (basically, I just had to play with the "front porch" and "back porch" parameters until the image was perfectly centered), I ended up with a custom resolution in which the image is centered, but still has black bars around it.
    Next, I simply turned on "Overscan" in the Display preferences while setting the TV's HDMI port input to "Exact Scan", meaning it will display the image exactly the way it comes over the HDMI port, without extra scaling.
    With this combination, I now ended up with a picture that fills the whole screen and has (according to a test image) a "1 to 1" pixel mapping. Also, for some reason, this new resolution that I made myself rather than taking the values off the internet "sticks" between sleep and wake cycles as well!
    For some reason, though, the TV only reported that it supports 50Hz vertical sync in 1080p when I used the "Export DDC" function in SwitchResX, even though according to the manual it also does 60Hz (and the default 1920x1080, 60Hz resolution from the Display preferences works as well). Therefore, I was only able to make my custom resolution for 50Hz, as I need the values from the DDC export as a starting point.
    I only want to use this Mac Mini/TV combination as a media center for movies and music streaming via iTunes, so I guess it won't make any difference wether I'm running it at 50Hz or 60Hz?
    Anyways, I hope this thread might help other people with the same TV who are having similar problems with their Mac Minis.

  • Toshiba Regza does not display PC connected through HDMI

    I live in a flatshare in which there is a Toshiba Regza in the living room.
    This television is connected to a Virgin Media V Box through an Xbox HDMI cable.
    I tried using the same cable to connect the tv to my laptop, which has a HDMI port, but nothing shows up on the screem.
    I checked in yhe Nvidia control panel and on the computer's screen settings: the Toshiba-TV is successfully recognized, so why I cannot see anything?
    The V Box is usually tuned on the HDMI-1 channel, but all I see there is a blue screen. Same on HDMI-2.
    The PC channel is instead black.
    Can somebody please help and tell me what I am doing wrong?

    What model is the TV?

  • Toshiba Regza 42rv530u - no picture

    Hey all...was hoping you could assist me with an issue. My Toshiba Regza 42rv530u flat screen recently stopped displaying an image. The TV functions fine otherwise - meaning that I can turn it on and flip through cable channels and hear the shows playing, I just can't view anything - the screen is just black. The LED is a steady green. Does anyone know what the issue could be, or could you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to see if this is a quick, cheap "do it yourself" fix or if I should just get a new TV. Thanks in advance. Jason

    I'd first try turning it off and unplugging it from power for a few minutes. Afterward, reconnect the power and try again. If the problem persists, it would seem to be a hardware issue. You'd need to seek servicing. Unfortunately, I'm unable to recommend a home repair.

  • Macbook pro 13 screen fades to black?

    Does any other owner of a mid 2010 MBP 13" (puchased 2/11) have this weird problem: when the laptop is warmed up, the screen randomly dims then fades to black then in a few seconds lights up again. In addition, while the screen fades, the lights look like, oddly, stage lighting. I have already had the whole screen replaced (the whole top), but it still persists. On my next call to Apple Support they told me this is reported by others and "they are working on it" and to look for a firmware update. All fine and dandy, but I have frustration in the meantime. I and my family have been owners of many mac products since 1990. They are all great products and now that I have a real issue, I am banking on great support.

    There are two other discussions about a similar topic.  See if resetting the SMC helps...otherwise, the other recommendation is to take it in for service.

  • Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

    hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
    i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

    Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper.  Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
    Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
    If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
    No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline.  And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
    An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor.  Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right).  Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top.  Drag it left for however much fade you wish.  (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
    A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio.  Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

  • Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

    I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

    Exiled Angel wrote:
    ....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
    Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
    I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
    The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
    Hope that''s what you are looking for!

  • After screen replacement, top half of screen starts by looking normal but then fades to black while bottom half stays bright but with images blury. What might went wrong?

    A friend recently gave me their old Macbook pro 15 because they broke the screen and the Apple store quoted them $500-600 to fix it. I looked online and bought a screen of ebay for $170 in hopes of fixing it myself. After getting the screen I hooked it up using the steps I found online. Sadly when I turned it on, the top half of the screen was working apparently normally, but then it faded to black. The bottom half stayed bright with color the whole time but the images were always blurred. When I close the screen with it on, then open it after turning the computer on, the top half lights up with my desktop images as if it is working fine but then fades to black. The bottom is still blurred the whole time. What all could be wrong? Display cable, Inverter cable, not registering the screen or something, the screen is bad? I don't now a ton about all this and I have learned most of what I know from online research. I am not sure if I should send the screen back or if there is another issue. I just want to fix this thing.

    Unfortunately, you don't even know the lower half of the computer is working properly, because you didn't have it until after it had been abused. So forget the attached screen for the moment. Connect an external monitor to it, fire it up, and see whether you can get a usable image on the external screen. If you can, send the defective "new" screen back for a refund, or replace the LVDS video cable first to make sure that's not where the problem lies, and if it isn't, then resort to sending the screen back. If you can't get a good image on the external, give the junk machine back to your friend and walk away.

  • "Fade Through Black" transition in slideshows corrupts project!

    I built a project from the ground up in iMovie. Shared this to iDVD. Constructed the whole dvd including a slideshow. When I clicked on "Fade Through Black" in the transitions menu for slideshows, iDVD abruptly quit with no error message! Completely quit.
    I tried to open the project by double-clicking it and it would bring up a prompt saying "Loading themes", then show the iDVD window for a split second and quit again.
    I tried making the iDVD project twice. With different themes each time, and still got the same result when I clicked on the "Fade Through Black" transistion. I had even saved the file right before clicking the transistion. That didn't help at all...

    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.

  • "Fade to black" transition without handles ?

    Is there any method to do a "fade to black" transition without handles in FCP 6 ?
    Like in iMovie for example. Maybe with another Pro App?
    Many Thanks.

    Have the Fade to Black end at the end of the clip, not in the middle. Notice when you drag transitions onto clips how you can make it end on the cut, be in the middle of the cut, or start at the cut.

  • Stopping the Fade to Black on Ken Burns Slide Show?

    I am trying to make a slideshow using the Ken Burns template. I want to be able to make a loop-able file (.mov or other), so I can make a looping DVD. At the end of my sideshow, there is a one second fade to black - Is there any way to stop that fade out or is there another way to do this effect without the fade out?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forum
    Select the final slide and change the transition to "none" in the transition drop down menu

  • Fade to black, jpegs.

    hello all, I am new to FCE and am having trouble figuring out how to add a simple fade to black effect to a series of jpegs, Im shooting stop motion with my SLR and want to add a fade out to multiple shots- not just the very last one. At this point all I can do it add the effect to the very last still image and its much to abrupt - i want to gradually fade out over multiple shots. do I need to merge the jpegs somehow? any-help is appreciated.

    Dear lukasdp:
    If you let your eyes wander to the right hand side of this page, you will Mr. Wolsky's name at the top of an impressive list showing the number of responses he has made to struggling FCE-ers. You will notice that he is number one.
    Imagine how much time and work that took.
    I am sure that users of this forum would be quick to tell you that Mr. Wolsky unfailingly gives excellent and useful advice and, very sensibly, that does sometimes mean that he refers some-one to a useful and informative site.
    Most users, myself included, are very grateful to this gentleman.
    I have no doubt that movie makers world wide view Mr. Wolsky with unreserved respect.
    I suspect that your are brand new to the site. Nevertheless, perhaps your next step should be an apology to the man who was trying to help you.
