Sylvania SRT2232S 32" TV - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Had same problem Sylvania SRT2232s 32"had to keep powering on and off until it warmed up enough to finally stay on. Problem was the 100/50 & 1/50 filter cap took it to local repair total cost to fix was 74.52 works better than ever

to see the infrared i would recommend you to read the article at http://www.unique-stuff.co.cc/fixing_remote_control_check_infrared.html

this way you can ensure if the infrared is emited normally from your remote control, afterwhat you can decide what to do.

instead of blaming the tv set, why dont you try to see the infrared emited from the remote control. maybe it's not emiting normally. usually the problem come from the remote control, not the tv set.

Hello SKrokau:

Have the IR sensor (Infared Sensor) replaced in this model. It is a common failue for Sylvania televisions. The IR sensor is the device used to receive commands from the remote and relay the commands to the microprocessor for processing. The sensor is very inexpensive and the total to repair should not cost you more then (FYI) $80.00 for parts and labor.

Have a Happy Holiday!

Unplug for several hours, press and hold power button for 5 seconds, wait half hour more, plug back in and try. Or press and hold either channel buttons at same time or volume buttons at the same time to see if that exits the mode.

If you have a cable box connected, you have to set your tv in the menu for cable/satellite and not antenna.

Is the picture stretched or shrinking and is it distorted or have lines? There are no vertical Height adjustment the circuit is prest and there is likely a problem in the vertical o/p circuit.
The problem is a bad Vertical Output IC (usually mounted on an aluminum heat sink with the part on it labeled LA78?? ) and 1 or 2 bad capacitors. Some times you can even fix the problem by re-soldering the contacts of the IC- To find the IC follow the 4 wires that come from the Yoke (which is a contained coil of wires slipped over the neck of the picture tube(s)) back to the board. 2 of the wires go to the horizontal o/p and 2 to the Vertical o/p the thinner gauge wires are for the vertical.

You should get the vertical IC checked starting with checking the supply voltage on it. This is a small flat IC attached to a heat sink with about 9-11 pins. This tv model should carry an LA7837 or an equivalent IC. If supply is present, check with means of a magnifying glass for dry solder joints on it. Resolder the pins on this IC if necessary and should work out fine. Model tends to suffer from this problem.

newer model televisions usually have a combination of buttons you can press on the front to reset them to the factory defaults. contact the most senior person that works in the electronics dept. where you bought the unit, they will usually give you some insight without much, if any hassle.

that's because (at least on my GE universal remote) the TV should be set to 0189. try it.

Thank you:

Check the outlet to be sure you have power to it. Then check both ends of the tv power cord to insure that they are actually plugged in. good luck.

ask staff at the company for a code or get a refund for your purchase

you can not play that game on ch3-4 you have an audio/video plug on thhe back of tv you have to change the tv tv the a/v settig or on some tvs the game setting

Hello there. I'm sorry to say that it sounds as if the element that actually energizes your screen is bad. It is most likely overheating. or quite poosible the power converter lost a resistor or 2.

your tv have a vertical trouble, maybe the ic is busted

Hi kmb0516.
Depends how old the set is, if it is more than 5 years old, time to tell it goodbye, if it is less, might be worth fixing.

I believe the problem is in the vertical output section, it sounds like the picture has shrunk.

Hope this helps, Greg.
