The red light indicates that your amplifier is in protect mode. Amps go into this mode if there is something wrong with the setup of the system to prevent fatal damage to the amplifier circuitry. This is bad thing since the amplifier will not function until the problem is solve and it can remove itself from protection mode.

Amplifiers can go into protect mode for many reasons but one of the most common is incorrect mounting. Is your amp sitting on the metal of your vehicle? Is it bolted down and screwed into the metal of the vehicle or your seat? The amp should never be touching any sort of metal. Only the ground should touching the metal of your vehicle.

Speaking of grounds, many people often neglect proper grounding which can cause an amp to go into protect mode. Do you have a solid ground? Is the wire less than 3 feet long and directly connected to a non-painted metal part of your vehicle? Is the ground wire the same gauge as your power wire?

These are just a few reasons why an amp can go into protect mode. You can find more information here. Or simply google for why your amp is in protect mode.

Red light is on in front and have no picture

Good day..


That problem is usually cause of bad capacitors on the power supply section..

As you stated your TV works fine and after a minute the red light comes on...

That symptoms is cause of bad capacitors..Normally bad capacitors can check visually if the capacitors look like leak/bulged on the top that is the indication of bad one but not all bad capacitors are bulged some are not so in that case you have to used a special meter called capacitance meter..

This is the sample picture of bulged capacitors:

Always says bad disk on display when you try to play a dvd

Remove top cover (5 screws) and load a DVD while looking under the top of the drive for the red light. If you don't see the red laser light, remove the DVD and turn the unit off. Remove the plastic 1" bar that goes across the top of the drive (2 screws). Pull out the flex cable going to the light and plug it back in. Unplug the other end of the flex cable where it plugs into the motherboard and plug it back in. This fixed mine. It was just a bad connection in the flex cable to the red light laser.

It wont power on & has a red flashing light

2 things, first bad battery, sometimes bad battery works for few minutes then your phone just dies on you, it says its fully charged but it aint. That red light flashing only means that your phone has LOW BATTERY. 2nd your phone software has problem. If you have another ericsson that uses the same battery you can check it the battery is ok, its the only way you can find out if the battery is good. If the battery is doing ok with another cellphone then your cellphone software has problem.

Hyundai HLT 3270 won't turn on

I agree with Larry, it sounds like bad capacitors on the power supply board. If you are going to pull the back off yourself, just make sure you unplug the TV from everything, especially the wall socket.

Yes my freind it is a convergence problem. There are two stand up IC's standing upright about a 2"X3" square. they start with STK. You should just replace them both if you have any solid state repair experience. If you dont, please stay safe and call in a trained tech to assist you with this repair.
