Sounds like bad capacitors on the power supply board which is a very famous issue for most LCD TV power supplies.

To discard or not should be based on cost to fix--blue screen usually means no signal is seen by set--could be minor or major repair--call a few shops and try to get a ballpark estimate.

Hello,

The problem you are having is a common and easily repaired one. The problem is caused by a failing power supply board. If you can do a little soldering then you should be able to do the repair. Check out this article on repairing the power supply in this model.

power supply problem of course...set is not dead so line fuse would be good as you said...regulating power supplies are very stable but do contain >>>CAPs<<< caps can leak ,swell do to heat ,etc.
check for visible signs of damage to caps. on circuit board...check regulating transistor( on heat sink)
the >>> on off on off routine<<< makes me think check caps!!!!!

check D7 and small cap to the right(forgot # returned tv) in the power supply area.i found diode leaky and cap dry.Thats how i fixed the blinking red light.hope it works.

Cover the IR (infrared receiver) window on the TV with masking tape or electrical tape and see if it works as expected. If it does, a stray signal may be commanding your TV to behave this way. The commend source could simply be a stuck button on a remote. The next thing would be to remove all the remotes from the room and remove the tape from the TV. Bring the remotes back in one at a time to determine which is causing the problem.

Once isolated, repair or replace the remote.

Hi,
Please replace power supply board in tv to solve this problem, required power supply board is available in shopjimmy.com for $80
Thanks.

you will need the power specs of each unit, look on the tv and computer near where they plug in, should be tagged right there or somewhere close. by law it has to be tagged. if not right there keep looking . and yes it is specific.

Your set has a problem with its power supply. If it is under warranty, have it replaced ASAP. If your warranty has expired, you can take the set to any good repair shop - ask for an estimate before having any work done to it.

Hello,

This model uses the same power supply that is found in many of the Polaroid TVs. The board is model MLT070AX. The failure you are having is a common problem with this board. The repair is easy if you can solder. Check out this link to an article about how to do the repair.

Hello,

The problem you are having is the power supply in the TV is failing. When you try to power the unit on you get on power or a slow turn on. It also can explain the problem of not running at full 1080p resolution because the higher the resolution the no power is required to operate the TV. Check out the article that explains the problem and how to repair it.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies and Driver downloads (if applicable) as required.

The information is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

Hi.

If the TV stays in standby and does not wake up, then the TV has on protect mode after detecting a fault.
When this happens higher voltages from PSU get shut down to prevent further damage

Try disconnecting power cord for about ten minutes, restart the Tv with no cables attached.

If that does not work, then there is an internal problem, PSU, main board and inverter must be tested.Here a description of general procedure:Testing LCD TV.

Unless you are a technician, if disconnecting power does not fix the problem, better calling support.
The best way to contact an authorized technician is by ringing the number listed on the owners manual.

Check these two boards: power supply module for bad caps, backlight inverter board for shorts.

Tv now have LED indication power light on the screen panel blinking light or totally dead,no light at all?The power supply board,that the board where the power a/c cord plug into it.That the power supply board is dead.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Sounds like bad capacitors (caps) inside on the power supply. They are solder in parts, but will cause lots of issues like this - usually when they're cold they won't work right and may crash the computer inside, but trying again and again will heat them up eventually and they'll work. A whole huge batch of them have made it inside tons of different brands of electronics and will cause issues just like this. You can open it up and see if they're bad, and then order the same # types of caps to fix the issue. Like I said, they are solder in parts, but only cost like 50 cents or $1 each.. easy fix if you can disassemble and solder. If they are bad they'll look like this =

bad ones bulge, good ones are flat on the tops
