Kaygee809, It's old, that's why!! Inverter circuit supply (dc to hi voltage ac) has a problem that a technician will need to fix. Your CCFL back-lit lcd panel no different than any other brand in it's basic design and operation!! If unit is 5+ years old trade in for new wide-screen. But before you do that spend some time reading my fixya profile so that you know ALL options open to you and your black, or black n blank screen E173FP. Yes, it can be both BnB or just BLACK screen,. Do some reading and follow links to other sites to get more info before making decision on what to do!!! If still have questions, do comment to this original post and I or other lcd tech's will answer best we can. First do flashlight test on unit!!! 12fixlouie on fixya
