'''++bloodchi++'''  “i can slightly see the images “ means you are losing your backlight. This can be related to the power board or the T-con board as well as the backlight array itself. You will need to let us know what model your TV is. RCA offers a one year parts and labor warranty. They can be reached at 1-800-433-8974. So before tearing it apart, you do want to contact them first.

If there is absolutely no way that this is covered, remove the back of your TV and take a look at all the boards and cables. Make sure everything is connected properly. Post some images of your boards with your question. That will enable us to see what you see and hopefully point you in the right direction. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that.
