Rca hdtv dlp screen flashing

I have a 50" RCA DLP HDTV and the screen is flashing. The tv screen flashes like a strobe light. The flashes are square in shape that starts in the center of the screen and then goes outward and repeats continuously. I'm still getting the picture and sound but the flashes are on continuously when the tv is on

Sounds like it could be the power supply. Try changing the brightness of the screen and changing picture modes like movie or standard. If this causes the flashing to change in severity, it will most likely be the power supply board

Testimonial: "Brandon L, I changed the brightness of the screen and picture modes but the flashing did not change in severity; the flashing was the same."

SOURCE: My RCA DLP HDTV shows ''Cobwebs''

It is in the top half of the set. You will have to remove the top back cover to clean it.

My "50" RCA Scenium won't

That's usually caused by a bad lamp. However that chassis is famous for having bad caps on the power board. The repair kit is available at the following link and has repair instructions included. http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/product_info.php/pName/rca-atc336-dlp-power-board-repair-kit/cName/repair-kits

Picture wont come on

No reset button, you may have a bad lamp. Look in you owners manual and which light is flashing it will tell you if the lamp is a possibility.

My RCA 50'' DLP Rear Projection TV will not turn on

Hi, This could be several things as the power goes everywhere. Long distance troubleshooting so hang in there. First try a cold reboot by unplugging and replugging after 30 minutes. If nothing check P1 on the light engine for the following voltages: pin 2 5vdc, pin 3 3.3vdc, pin 9 3.3vdc, pin 12 12vdc. If any of these are not good it is the formatter board. If all are good, does the color wheel spin at all. If this is OK then check J4 on the light engine, the ballast enable line should be 0 vdc in stby, .5 vdc at turn on, and 2.5 to 3.25 vdc in run. If good, is the light engine trying to fire the lamp? If not, inspect the J4 connector and the lamp power supply, If they look OK then the lamp ballast is probably bad. This will give you something to do for now, Good Luck!

My RCA Scenium 50in. is not turning on!!

Its sounds as if the lamp has exploded or the color wheel has. I will post a link to a site that has a trouble shooting manual on CD called RCA DLP Disc #1 which covers every DLP in the ATC line which is what your model is. They have it either in cd form or they will email it. Its a very good resource for fixing your own set.
