Four year old Hannspree TV. Hooked up to a UPC box. Never had any issues or problems with it. I presume its a plasma flat screen. Watching a sporting event today, the TV screen just went white, with no picture showing at all. It was as if the camera was pointing up at a cloudy sky. That is what I originally thought was…

Watching a sporting event today, the TV screen just went white, with no picture showing at all. It was as if the camera was pointing up at a cloudy sky. That is what I originally thought was happening.

But it is happening, regardless of what channel I am watching. When I change SCART cables, it still happens. When I switch over to playing a DVD, it still happens.

Is the TV knackered, or does it sound like a bulb is blown somewhere? If it is, how much will it be to replace?

It is only a 16 inch TV that cost 199 4 yrs ago, so I may as well replace it, if it is going to cost a ton to fix it.

Mods, hope it is ok to post this here. I looked, but I couldn't find a forum specifically for tellys.

Ta.
