Philips Smart Tv 65 Inch. Bought Last Week. Picture Lost. Only Sound.

Last week I bought this 65 inch smart 3D TV from Dhaka. While watching youtube lost the picture but light in the TV screen is on. Tried to restart the TV, but not working. When push a button in the remote the TV responds by blipping the red light. But do not see anything like a radio. What should I do? if it needs repair I want a replacement. From DHaka

ry a few simple things first to try and fix your TV before replacing parts...
1 - Unplug TV overnight. Plug back in and SOMETIMES it may work and fix your issue.
2 - Unplugging the TV and everything hooked to it, then plugging it back in may clear the problem.
3 - Be sure the TV is set to the correct input. If it is set to DVI or Component input when it should be in the HDMI input this will cause issues.

if the above did not work then TV Back-Light Inverter Board has issue
