Good day!!!


That problem is usually cause of faulty capacitors on the power supply board..

Just follow this instruction to fix your TV..

1. Open the back cover of your TV.
2. Look at the power supply board..Its normally connected to the power cord..
3. After that,,try to look at the actual image of capacitors if it is bulged on the top so that you can easily determine the bad capacitors..
4. After that,,try to replaced the bad capacitors using soldering iron and soldering lead..replaced the capacitors only with the same type ratings and value..
5. Some of the capacitors not bulged so its better if have a capacitance meter

SOURCE: WONT TURN ON

Most likely, the problem is a defective Main Processor Board. This is the board with the antenna, RCA and HDMI plugs. You cant repair or replace component parts on this board, so dont even try. You must replace the complete board. The TV says Sylvania, but it is a bloody Funia TV. Several years ago this foreign company bought out broke-azzz Sylvania . They are still carrying the Sylvania name since Sylvania was a popular TV name in the 70s. Every electronic company in the USA is now owned by the Chinese, so call Funai and order the part from them. Dont be surprise if they dont have a clue what the heck you asking for. America and all electronics have gone to the puddles. Do you know why? GREED.

Hi.

If the red light stays on and TV does not start up, then the TV is in protect mode because an incorrect voltage has been detected.

If the TV instead comes on with the remote, but there is no picture, problem is usually the inverter or in some case the input.

If the TV comes on in stand by ONLY if you use the main switch on TV, then comes with no picture of sound using the remote, that means that the main board is not operating. This may happen because of a defective main board (A board), because of a defective PSU not powering the main board correctly, because of a short in a different board (often the inverter, the tuner or one of input boards).
Other part that may fail is the TCon board, which function is controlling the timing of the LCD panel. This board is difficult to test, but when it fails you usually get vertical lines, false colors or other video defects shortly before the TV shutting down.

If the problem happens only occasionally, check also the wall socket. Bad wall socket grounding will cause malfunction.Ensure that earth and grounding is OK. Test the TV with no devices connected, and using an extension and a different socket.

Most of the times the problem is a defective PSU or a defective main board. Parts must be tested by a technician to find the fault.

Here the first step of testing explained: How to test an LCD TV

To book a qualified technician contact your Sony local number:Customer Service Helpline.

Here parts.

Regards.

Ginko.

SOURCE: Hi. My 47" Vizio GV47L

The amber light signals that the power source is in protected mode - the source is practically closed down by force and no longer delivers not even the stand-by voltage to minimally power the processor (hence the remote issue). This happens when one of the other boards in the tv is completely shorted.
Just 2 boards are capable of triggering that when they fail: the power source itself (one of its output transformers or rectifiers have failed) or the inverter/ballast boards (2 of them) - the ones that power the tubes that light up the screen.
To find out which you must disconnect the inverter boards and see if the tv starts up - if the tv starts and you can hear sound (and probably see an image if you light up the screen with a flash light) then the inverter board is faulty and you will have to replace it. If it doesn't then the power board is damaged and the inverter might have caused that - further testing on the components on both boards is needed to determine what caused it. A good experience in repairing electronics is required for that or you will replace boards blindly and hoping for the best

If theres absolutely no power and no lights on, it sounds like the fuse inside the t.v.. It is pretty easy to change. You have to take out the screws on the back of the t.v. and take the back cover off. Look for a 3/4" glass tube fuse and see if the tiny wire in it is broken. Pop it out and bring it to radio shack and get a new one. Put that one in and try it, Make sure the t.v. has been unplugged for at least 2 hours before opening it so the capacitors have time to drain. They will hold power and could shock you if your not careful. Also, dont use anything metal to take the fuse out.

My Sony tv won't switch of standby just flashes

How many times do this standby light flashes at one time switch ON? Count this and make sure, how many times it blinks. These blinks are fault indications. From these number of blinks, you will get an idea about the faulty section circuit inside it. It will narrow down the troubleshooting.

Thomson DTI6300-16, The amber light constantly flashes, no red or amber lights appear! any help/advise would be welcome

Does your Thomson DTi6300 fail to power on normally and displays a solid amber light? During the past few days we have been made aware of an issue affecting a number of our customers with a Thomson DTi6300 box. Customers have been experiencing problems with their box failing to come out of standby mode and typically showing a constant amber light on the front panel.
 
This fault is due to a broadcast issue which  has led to a corrupt file being loaded onto the hard disk.
 
Only Thomson DTi6300 boxes have been affected. If you have been experiencing problems of this nature first of all try switching your box off at the wall and leave for twenty seconds. If this does not work, please try the following procedure.
  
Please note this will unfortunately cause recordings in your programme library to be lost which we?re very sorry about. You may have to try this procedure a few times in order to resolve the issue as it requires complete attention and precise timing.
 
1.       Disconnect the power supply from the unit by removing the power cable from the back of the box.
2.       Wait 20 seconds and then put the power cable back in while pressing the 'standby/power on' buttonrepeatedly on the front panel of the box.
3.       Release the standby button as soon as you see a light flash on the front of your box and thenimmediately press the arrow buttons on the front panel quickly and in the following sequence:  Up, Down, Left, Right (please note this is not the order the arrow buttons appear on the box).
4.       Your box should then show the amber light with the green light flashing until the disk re-format has been completed which will take around 60 seconds. The box should return to a solid red light (standby) automatically. If after 2 minutes your box still does not display a solid red light, please repeat steps 1-4.
5.       When you return to the TV GUIDE screen, you will now need to scan for channels to restore your Top Up TV channel logos. To do this, please select Option 4 (set-up) from the Main Menu, followed by option 1 (scan for channels).
6.       IMPORTANT: Once you have completed your channel scan, you will need to select option 5 from the Main Menu (Choose your channels) to re-select all those channel providers you would like Top Up TV to download shows from.
 
We?re really sorry if you have been affected by this issue and greatly regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
