I have a Panasonic TV not sure what the model is and where it's located I cannot pull it out and check, but it's an old regular TV not a flat screen or anything.
But this TV always gave a great picture, and sound
One morning we turned it on, and there is absolutely no picture
There IS still great sound, but the screen is compeletely blank don't even light up
I'd like to repair this TV, because it is still in great physical shape.
If there is any steps you have that may help me identify the problem would be great, as soon as someone helps me pull the TV off the Self i'll post the model number!

The model is located on the back of the TV. There should be a sticker with the model #, the serial #, and the date of manufacture. And to be honest, putting the model # here won't help anyone to tell you what is wrong with the tv. It will however give you the screen size (you will see letters and numbers in the model # - usually the first two numbers tell you what screen size it is).
You can try a hard reset (unplug the tv from the wall outlet and let it sit for a half hour, then plug it back in and try it) and see it that will cure the problem. Sometimes it will.
Other than that I recommend taking it to a service center (preferably one that is panasonic authorized). They may or may not charge a diagnosis (or estimate) fee when you bring it in. Most service centers charge based on the screen size of the tv.
Another thing to consider is whether you use a cable box or not. If you do, unhook the box and put the cable directly to the tv. If you get a picture, you have a bad cable box and need to replace it. If you still have the same problem it is definitely in the tv set.
Hope this helps and good luck!

This is an old and very worthwhile trick. Pull your TV out and take it to a local or better yet major company that fixes TV's ask them to determine the problem and give you an estimate of value. When they give you a price to have the work done say that it is to much and take the TV back.
What happens is that when they open the TV usually the cause of the problem is very simple and they just fix it while the TV is open. When you get it home it will probably be in working order and if not you have a good idea what is wrong with it and how much it will cost to fix it.
Solution #2 if you are a smoker or other people in your house smoke the build up of nicotine and tars on the interior of the TV will short out the TV by gumming out the connections. This can happen in as little as a couple of years. Easy to correct by a technician. keep it in mind.

Have you checked for the picture on every input? If you access the menu, does it come up? when you power it up and turn it off, is there ever a "flash" on the screen? when you turn it on, do you hear a "sizzling" sound? if the answer to all of those is no (except the first one), then you need to take it to someone that fixes tv's.

1.Check if the Tv has same issue while connected with other input device. 2.Perform power reset( unplug the Tv from the wall outlet for 60 seconds and plug it again). 3.If possible do Factory Reset. 4.Check for the new Firmware upgrade of the Tv.
