Polaroid FLM-3232.. Has no red led light showing when pluged in.

At first, when the electricity turned off, the red light would not come back on. I unplugged the tv and waited, then plugged it in again and it would work fine... This went on for a few months until finally, another power outage and the tv will not reset itself and work.. I have read that it might be the main processor or a bad capacitor. I took the control box cover off and the capacitors are not pushed out. If someone could specify which board to change, I would appreicate it...

    I have a similar problem except in my situation, this happened all at once (not on and off and finally off).
    When I plug the cord in nothing happens, I used the remote as well as the knobs on the side on unit. And the most important difference is that I am not "technically oriented" so I haven't opened the unit up but if anyone has any suggestions / advice I would appreciate it other wise it probably is going to wind up in the trash. Thanks, Bob

I have a red light and thats about it...i have a 32 inch polaroid and it just wont power up

In case of FLM-3232 this can be both the main board and the power board.

I'd say the odds are in your favor that it is the power board - this is the more common scenario.

If you test the board and find that it produces proper primary voltage, though, then the problem is in the main board.

This is also curable sometimes, but unfortunately at least presently we do not offer a repair service for it.

Blue LED light comes on but nothing else happens when turned on

It can be the main board or the power supply, look at the power supply first since it is easier to get to, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

Flm-3232 Power supply

The problem is with your "control box". I just went through this also. You didn't say how old your TV was. My TV was 1 year, 3 months, 26 days old when my control box went out. I finally got the number to Polaroid and called until I got help. (don't expect any help with their call center) They sent me a new control box and the TV works fine now and the box has a 90 day warranty. Unfortunately, if your TV is older than mine was, its unlikely they will help you. You can watch ebay for a unit, they come up regularly. You will need to know which one is the model version for your TV. Look at your serial number, the 4th and 5th characters tell you which version. If your model version is 00, 01, 02, 03, A1, 23 then the unit is: *909-KS0-GF371XAH. If it is 12, 13, A2 then the unit is: *909-TE1-GF378XCH. This info on the serial #/model version was given to me be a repair tech that had a control box for sale on ebay. I have not verified the information, nor did I have to use it, but it sounds accurate and he seemed knowledgeable. I hope this helps, good luck.
