Polaroid FLM-2601 Television - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hi aqhnc, You need to change the whole power supply unit. Your transformer inside it might broken and need to fix. I hope my solution may help you. Thanks for using Fixya...;-)

The audio output section circuit has the fault. Check and replace audio output circuit board as card basis.

if you have an external antenna on your roof, then you would need to connect the antenna "Ant." (coaxial) If you have to old style 2 wire setup, you will have to get an adapter.Page 8 of your manual shows the connection it at the top-right of the TV's rear......

check the power supply board for bad caps indicated by swelled tops. Thats usually the cause in most cases

I think I have the same problem, If I don't use it for a couple of days, then try to turn it on, nothing. I turn it off, and on one more time, it works. WEIRD

Are you still having this problem

hi did you mean when you turn on the unit the light indicator will flash but will not turn on until you plug and then re plug the tv unit the power will come out. now if this always be the problem just unplug first the unit to discharge excessive voltage at the primary capacitor of the power supply and to reset the error detected by the processor. now after an hour try to plug the unit and observe if the problem will not come out. if still the same problem you will need to open the tv unit now look for the power supply and replaced capacitors that bulged to its casing it was leak then the voltage will drop. you can found parts at www.digikey.com replaced with same rating panasonic brand much better.good luck just give feed back to us if it is work i'm glad to help you.

"IF" there is one available you "MIGHT" find it here, looking it up by the remote and then brand TV - - - http://www.remotecodelist.com/remotes/
but don't count on it... These units are made by Prima and the remotes are as elusive as the lack of parts...
Good news is I think the original remotes are still available for about $40.00 dollars..

The 5vdc standby power supply is working but the rest of the power supply may not be working, you need to openit up and inspect the capacitors int he power supply first.

Are you going to DIY repair?
Typical shop rate will be $150 and up plus parts.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on: Basic LCD monitor and TV troubleshooting guide: http://www.fixya.com/support/r5093881-lcd_flat_panel_tv_troubleshooting_guide http://www.fixya.com/support/r6150077-basic_lcd_monitors_troubleshooting http://www.fixya.com/support/r7406380-tv_training_manuals Failed TV and Monitors pictures: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm Learn about bad caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Parts: www.shopjimmy.com Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/Default.aspx he can make you a set of caps. Or www.digikey.com, just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current and long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series.

it may be broken

Make sure it is plugged in.... Try a different outlet.... If it is plugged into a surge protector make sure that is on.... The surge protector may be set on a time..... The TV may be set on a time limit to limit the TV from turning on at different times.....

This happens all the time with Lcd power supplies. You have bulged ( bad ) capacitors on the power supply board.

It can be bad 24vdc power supply for the backlight inverter board due to bad caps, or bad inverter board. You will have to do in-depth troubleshooting.
Try this first:
First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board. if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that. There are fuses on the backlight inverter boards also. So there is some troubleshooting you will have to do to find out the causes of the problem you are having.

The unit is in protective shutdown and without testing some of the components inside the set, there is little that can be done. I would suggest that you bring the unit into a service shop for a detailed repair estimate. Post the results here and we should be able to help you with the actual repair.
