connecting the TV
samsung 19" LE19R86WDX Freeview HD Ready LCD TV (White)
ok so i have that tv in my room and recently i lent it to my friend when hers broke...
when i got it back and tried to plug it back in i discovered that there was no sound.... well i dont think she returned it damaged or anything because i may have bent the tip of the cable (it looks like this cable:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
but the tip is thiner and there is a an attached golden tube thing that connects it and screws on to the tv at the back where it says cable out an in (one tip connecting to tv the other to cable receiver)
anyway... well the problem is that there is no sound. i thot it was the volume so i adjusted it from both the receiver and the tv but its not that. and then there are the three colored wires at the back (blue green red) which i put in the rite sockets but still nothing. that leaves me with this wire... what is it for and how do i know if it is damaged? and which plug is for the sound?

Hi there,
The cable that screws on is called co-ax, or coaxial cable. Usually that carries both audio and video.
So if you have selected "cable" as your input, you should be getting sound.
With the three cables like what you pictured (RCA cables, by the way) if they are properly color coded then the yellow one is video and the red and white ones are the right and left stereo sound respectively.
If you have tried both of those, and don't get sound, the problem lies elsewhere.
A good idea at this point it to connect it to something else. Try connecting it directly to your DVD player/Xbox/Playstation/Wii/whatever else... and see if you get sound.
If you do, then look at the reciever from that point out.
If not...
I hate to ask this... but have you pressed the "mute" button? Just checking. :-)
If you go into the menu on the TV, look at the audio settings and see if anything that should be ON is OFF.
That is about all I can suggest for basic troubleshooting.
Good luck!
