SOURCE: sylvania lc420ss8 lcd turned off wont turn back on

Simply unplug the set, let it sit for a minute or so, then plug it back in and turn it on. I had a similar problem with the same TV and it is working fine now.

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.

SOURCE: There was a power surge and a loud pop and now the

A job for the technician on this one. I have only worked on several flat screen before, on my last days as an electronic technicians. Half of the ones I worked on was the power supply inside ir the problem was like this. Instruction on how to fix them would require me to write many pages on electronic theory so, I am very sorry It is almost impossible for me to help you on that. Be carefull where you take that tv to. some shop can't fix those. You may have to search your local area for someone who specialize in flat sreen HDTV. Well I hope I have shed a little light on the problem. Thanx for posting the problem.

Turns on, lower right shows "DIGITAL TELEVISION"

Good day!!!

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

This the sample picture of your power supply board and I marked the possible problems on capacitors..
2_2_2012_2_50_18_am.jpg
Things you will need.
1. A plastic flat end screw or any object with flat ends....to fry off the cover
2. Soldering iron.
3. Soldering lead
4. Soldering pump.
5. Flat and Philip Screw
6. Replacement capacitors (of same value with the blown one) that you can buy to any electronics store.

Hope it helps..

My lcd sylvania will not come on. It has the ready red light, but when you press the on button, it goes green then back to the ready red light.

Power board or main board.

Pick one, buy, replace and see what happens.

At $72 delivered to you I think the power board is the easier choice:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sylvania-LC420SS8-Power-supply-/250730878858?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a60b9978a

I am not anyhow associated with the seller, that was just what eBay gave me.

Of course if you're handy with a DMM you shouldn't need that...but this is the fastest and relatively cheap, considering you can always re-sell the board, way to check.

Hope this helps...if it does, don't forget to rate it :-)

Tv will not turn on

The green blinks are an error code indicating a specific fault, your power supply developed an 'over-voltage' issue and needs to be serviced at your local repair shop.......
