No image on TV

[coccinelle]

Cleaned the TV cupboard out and put everything back in (TV, DVD player, TNT box) I get sound but no image. Anybody knows what might be wrong?

[ummmm]

Is the scart lead inserted properly?

[sunny-dave]

Loose scart or hdmi lead - check both ends of all connections ?

[isitjustme]

Is everything plugged into the correct sockets, e.g. scart lead, and if they are then are they securely plugged in, like pushed right home into the plug/socket?

[coccinelle]

scart plugs are fine. The sound is there which wouldn't be if the scarts were badly inserted I think.

[ummmm]

That does happen when they aren't inserted properly.

[sunny-dave]

Sound and vision are on different pins of the scart plugs - very easy to have a connection on one and not the other. Try taking the scarts out & check that none of the small flat pins are bent over.

Whoever designed these connectors (or decided to use them in domestic situations) wants shooting - they are just so prone to being 'not quite inserted properly'.

As others have said - an improperly insertes SCART lead can still function to an extent. In fact there are often questions on here about missing colours, sound, etc. which are almost invariably resolved by checking that the plug is fully inserted.

I've taken out and put back in the scart pins and still no image. There's no image either from the DVD player.

Do you think the problem could be in the TV set? Might it need replacing? I have changed scart plugs about with others and it's still the same.

Does it display anything at all (even 'white noise') when you select a channel using the TV's own tuner - presumably an analogue one that won't pick up any channels now?
