Top 20 Polaroid FLM-2632 Television - Page 5 Questions & Answers

it should be under warrenty just take it back for a replacement

Often when using a Sky box, one doesn't use the channel tuning feature of the Polaroid HDTV. Often one connects the Sky box to a component video input, and the Sky box does the tuning.

I hope that helps.

1) First check the mute.
2) Make sure there aren’t headphones plugged in, that will disable the speakers.
3) Check the audio setup
4) Check your Volume lock


Changing Volume Lock
The remote comes preset to allow independent volume control of each selected device (Global Volume Unlock).
However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock so that one device’s volume will
control volume in all other modes. After that, you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to
set its volume control for independent operation or Global Volume Unlock to remove all volume locking.
Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)
1. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.
2. Enter 9-9-3 and then press the mode key for the device you want to control volume (for example, TV).
The LED blinks twice. Now when you press VOL+, VOL-, or Mute, the selected device (for example,
TV) will control the volume regardless of the current mode.
Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global Unlock)
1. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.
2. Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL+. The LED blinks four times. Volume is now

Problem here is the wont sell just the power supply, it comes with what is called the control box assembly. Part # 909-KS0-GF271XAH On factory bakorder and no ETA and for $ 431.85 at www.vancebaldwin.com

On the remote is an Http address and it is free. Sorry Guys. They will give you full instructions.

had the same problem. if you take out the power supply in the back of your tv ( easy to get to just a few screws in back to get to the box then a few more to get into it and some quick disconnects) you can take it to a local tv repair shop and they can remove the two green capacitors in the upper left of the circuite panel and place in 16v ones that can actually handle the power needed. do not try to do it yourself although the new capacitors only cost 2 dollars one wrong move and you burn the wires on the board. the repair man only charged me 54 dollars well worth it considering polaroid wanted to charge me 500 to fix a 2 dollar part that should have been recalled. they are in the busines to make money but if any of us did what they did wede be considerd con artist. final note since ive replaced the capacitors my tvs worked better than when i bought it

I have the exact same problem I am really sorry I couldn't help

cheak cables gold leads only hi end ground antenna good power strips get any magnets stuff away from it interfence ok

Check the Power Supply board to see any puffed capacitors. If found faulty cap, replace them.

It is likely that one of the transfomers is buzzing due to heat and laminations or wire is ringing.
It should not cause any issue except annoy you. it must be replaced. or glued back down which is usually very difficult as they are wrapped and/or sealed.
Only way to find out is to open the unit and trace it down.
If it is dust buildup then you should be hearing a crackling. zzzztt sound.

you need an outdoor antennae or a cable conection. Mke shure that your connecting cables are in good condition. also check the ("F" fitting, that is the end of the cable that screws on to the back of the tv, sometimes the center wire gets bent and it dosen go into the center conection.

Are you using a set of sound wires in addition to the HDMI cable? - HDMI only carries the HD Video and no audio, so you still need either a digital or audio cable to pass the audio to the set.

I had the same problem. It's caused by the picture setting on your Sky box. Go ibto Services, select Picture Settings and set the mode to PAL not RGB.

Does the sky box have a setting for output ratio? If so try adjusting it and see what the TV does.

is your laptop capable of sending widescreen video to your TV or can it only send 4:3 video?

The manual for this TV can be found on this page: http://www.polaroid.com/service/userguides/ce/ce_ug.html The specific pdf for the FLM 2632 is here: http://www.polaroid.com/service/userguides/ce/lcd_tvs/flm_series_ug.pdf

Check all your connections if they are connected properly.if connections are good that means the tv is having problems in the color circuit call a tech to do repairs on your tv.good luck.

I have the same TV and it did the same thing. I called Polaroid's customer support line and they were very helpful. They sent in a work order to the local servicer in my area. I then got the number of the place (VIEW ELECTRONICS) and called them a few days later. They said that it was a very common problem and that they knew exactly what part it needed and ordered it. At the moment, i am waiting for the part to arrive and when it does i can just take it into the store and it will take them about 20 minutes to install and that should be it. I'm not sure what caused it but hopefully this part will fix it. Hope this helped...

Try using your RCA imput to see how the picture looks compared to the tuner picture,is possible your tuner imput is bad,make sure the conector is not loose,the overall picture should look different but not fuzzy all over,using a dvd picture thru the aux (rca)imput should show you the difference.If the conector is loose only it could be repaired but if it is solid the tuner might be bad and it will need to be replaced along with any board it might be mounted to.Let us know how it goes or if you need more information.
