IF all menus work fine, then you're most lilkely correct, the input board or main CPU board is bad. Best bet is to take a chance and buy another used one on eBay, but assuming that this is a few years old, and considering Pioneer is long out of the TV market, I'd scrap it and get something else.

try all inputs one by one and see if any give you a picture.

Thanks guys;Today i had to clean the boards cause they were full of dust and durt , i used a Vacum cleaner ,
now power supply won't turn on,i only have the 125v at Fuse 1 and no volts at all, it's dead now with only steady red light that i can switch off and on on the main switch.
i reed somewhere about a light sensor Pioneer uses the trap switch ,can you guys elaborate on this,thanks
