Sir the problem of your tv has two possibility, the inverter board may be damage or there is no supply to the inverter board. To check the voltage input on your inverter board you should remove the back cover of your tv, the supply input is 24 volts dc. If you can do this let me know.

Hi,

First connect the TV to a DVD player using a different cord. If there is still no display, then it means fault is from your inverter board.

From the description of your symptoms, your inverter board has failed, a way to verify this is when it goes black, in a dark or dim room, shine a flashlight into the screen, and see if you see faint images in the light. If so, the inverter has failed and needs to be replaced. The inverter board is what controls the backlighting. A replacement inverter board runs about $180, plus around $100 for labor.

Keep me posted.

    You can get the inverter from online stores like shopjimmy.com or go to any electronics part store within your vicinity. Yes, you should be able to do it yourself.

Polaroid 3211-tlxb have power and sound but no picture. It did smell like smoke. Any recommendations? Unit is 2 years old.

If you can see a picture (dim and low contrast) when you shine a light on the screen from an angle, your backlight inverter may have a burned-out part.
After this test, whichever result you get, unplug the set and use your eyes and nose to search for overheated parts. I have found connectors that overheated because of a poor-quality solder connection on the circuit board. Note that parts, particularly resistors, can overheat because of a fault in another part.
It is common for solder connections to deteriorate if they are frequently run at high temperatures. Sometimes circuit boards "normally" turn brown from heat because of marginal thermal design. Check the solder connections on components in the hot areas.
Static electricity precaution: most digital electronics are easily damaged by static electricity discharge. Avoid touching the metal parts of the circuitry unless you first touch the metal frame of the set to discharge any voltage buildup on your body.

I have a Polaroid 3211-TLXB -It starts up fine-everything works great - then after 10-15 minutes it freezes + picture goes to crazy grey/white lines + volume goes to maximum-won't turn off-have to unplug -...

hi there, this may helps you a bit. Try to unscrew the back casing. visual check the power supply section. If you notice some electrolytic capacitors are bulgy or bloated, it needs to be replaced with same value and type. Felt the power transistors which one really heats up. Over heating of electronic components or part do affects the pictures. this also need to be replace. doing preventive repairs can extend the lifespan of your TV.
Adding exhaust fan may also lessen the heat builds up on the board. Proper ventilation also helps in the performance of the TV. If this do went well maintain the fan.
Please vote and rate. Good day
