Television and Home Theater

Hi.  Trying to connect dell laptop to LG LCD 32" TV via VGA/Serial port.  The connection initially works for about 10 seconds (resolution is perfect on TV) however then the laptop screen keeps going blank every 5 or so seconds (no signal msg comes up on TV)and sometimes returns with different resolution then goes blank again etc.
It is the same when i connect with S Video cable.
I changed refresh rate and resolution on laptop but it is still the same. Cheers

Hi,

 My Sony Kp51hw40 died yesterday while I was watching TV. It flashed green then turned off. When I tried to turn it back on it just turned back off(heard the relays clicking)

I 've read alot that the 6 blinks indicate that something may be wrong with the D board, but the service manual says to look at the A and B boards, and the +5V is shorted or overloaded.

From Service Manual:

1) +5 line is overloaded (A, B boards)
2) +5 line is shorted (A, B boards)

Help. I have had problems with my cable service as of late so I had a tech out, and I did not like what he had to say, so I had another tech out and he told me the same thing. I have a Sharp Aquos 42" LCD they told me that it was putting voltage into my cable line causing my problems. At first I did not believe as I had never heard of this. I removed the Tv from the system and put a 13" cheapo tv in and beleieve it or not could still feel the voltage in the cable. So the tech came out yesterday and showed that there was 60 volts coming from the cable in jack on the 13 inch tv.
