Top 20 Element Electronics FLX3711B 37 in. LCD TV Questions & Answers

Bad power board, it could be a regulator circuit in the board and you can troubleshoot it if your good at electronics as those switch mode power supplies can be a little tricky sometimes, it may make more sense to replace the board though, generally they aren't that expensive, under 50 bucks generally

To receive Digital TV, you need a set-top box from your CABLE provider. There is no TV that will receive Digital TV directly

My first go-to place would be any connectors you removed when you did the repairs -- as since this happened after a period of successfull run-time, HEAT may have caused them to expand to the point where a minimally-connected contact is failing. (And I admire your tenacity on taking on a job like that in the first place!)

Check all cable connections, if known to be good, then I would think it is a internal board issue. these boards some times crack connection from heat cycling, boards flex hot and cold.

You only need a PSU board if the back light inverters are combined with it. Otherwise look for the inverter board. To be sure it's defective, when the picture goes off shine a flashlight on the screen to see if you can spot movement from the program on the screen. If you can see movement then the inverter board needs replacing. If you can't see any movement then the T-Con board is bad.

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/ In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ In some models of LCD TVS; the backlight inverter and its T'Con board will be a part of the panel itself, and will be a built-in type inside the LCD panel. If so, they can't be replaced. In this case; a panel replacement is the only repair. For some other models, the backlight inverter section circuit will be a part of the main power supply regulator [SMPS]. To such sets, the power supply section circuit too should troubles shoot. Contact any service technician. The circuit will differ with models and versions.

How many times this standby/power light blinks at one time switch ON? Count it carefully. These blinks are fault indication, and known as blinking codes. From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON; you can get an idea about the faulty circuit stage inside the TV. This will make repair easy.

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.

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.

Tv LCD Screen panel are cost the same as a new tv,bacause the picture screen panel are 90% importmant to the tv.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com might have refurbish tv LCD screen panel for sale.

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.

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.
