Polaroid FLM373b No power.

I have a polaroid flm 373b. It is getting no power to it at all. It doesn't turn on and the blue/red light does not illuminate. I can kinda hear a sparking sound when i plug and unplug it. I do not see any visible burned parts when I took off the back plate. I have replaced the 2 capacitors on the top that were blown out. It still does not work.

UPDATE >> ok, i have determined that the PS is ok, and my problem is with the main board. i checked all the caps on the PS, they were within tolerance, but just to humor myself i replaced them anyway.
and still no results, i have figured out how to force the PS on.
if you use a jumper wire and stick it between the yellow and blue wire on the connector, should be labeled as PS ON and 12v..not exactly sure, but i do know it is the yellow and blue wire to jump.
this will force the PS on. then you can check your voltages to see if you have the proper readings, if the set still does nothing then its likely the main board that is bad.. you can try to isolate some of the other boards ( inverter , tuners etc,) and see if that helps any..but if the set remains dead, then shoot for the main board..
i'll report back once i replace my main board...look out ebay, here i come...:o)

I have the same problem.. i have replaced several caps.
(seasoned electronics tech here)
when plugged in. blue led will blink once for a split second, then nothing more. 5V SB is present. there is never a red led when plugged in. just the 1X blue flash.

When the filter capacitors went out , the power supply will feed AC instead of DC into the circuit board and may have damaged other circuits. Do you get the 5vdc standby voltage? it should be on one of the power supply out put connector the minute the you plug in the TV, you must have this before go further.

The power board might have input power, but there might be no output power. Check and replace the main power regulator board.

My polaroid flm 3732 tv wont turn on. the red light turns blue then back to red when i try to turn it on.

Have you tried the capacitor replacement trick here: http://www.fixya.com/TipsAndTricks/ThreadView.aspx?thid=741402 ? Use the method described (two places - look at both) to open the back of your TV. Look on the upper board (the power supply - where the 110 vac goes) for damaged capacitors as witnessed by their bulging tops. If they look ok and nothing else on the board is obviously damaged, I would go ahead and replace the three capacitors there. Two located near the center top of the board are 1000 micro farad 10 vdc electrolytic and the other right below the first two near the center of the board (a bit larger) is 1000 micro farad 35 vdc. Replace them all with 1000 micro farad 35 vdc (or wvdc) electrolytic caps - you can buy them from Radio Shack for $1.50 or so each. This assumes that your FLM-3732 is similar to the FLM-373B that I have. Good Luck!
