Press a menu button on the remote. If the menu is OK then try a reset (see manual.) If that doesn't clear it up then it needs repair.

The menu does come as in I can hear it open and if I click up and down o can hear it but still only the colors on the picture.... Can it be due to dust?

That would be Chernobyl dust?

That would be some powerful dust or dust getting where it doesn't belong. The only time I found it to be dust was when the set was caked in dust. It was bizarre until they told me about the dozen cats and humid summers.

Since the menu doesn't show up, then it's likely to be a fault inside the set. As in not user serviceable. Get estimates as prices have crashed.
