Static electricity fried the button panel

When I used the button on the front of my LCD tv to turn it on, there was a static shock. Now none of those front buttons work (power, channel +/-, volume +\-), and when you use my satellite remote to turn on the TV the volume drops immediately to zero and you cannot turn it up. The picture is still fabulous....the manufacturer went bankrupt two years ago (Olevia)....do I have to buy a new TV?

Static electricity can damage the chips on the boards. it all depends were the static voltage went to, if it was just to the buttons controller board or to the main av board. you could need new button board or you could need to replace the main board and the button board its hard to say with static shock.

SOURCE: The tv will not turn on with either the remote or

Hi, I own the same TV and had the same problem. It's the #1 plaguing issue with flat panel TV made by Funai corp. Emerson is made by them. Normally, when this happens, the TV goes into " Protection Mode " because of a failing circuit board.

The most common thing to go out on flat panel TVs is the circuit board that supply power to the screen. Commonly called a Backlight Inverter Board. But, I can't say it's 100% the problem because I can'tactually look at the tv over the internet. I can only make guesses with the symptom. I'm willing to bet you have the same problem like mine. One of six Inverter Transformers when bad on my Power/Backlight Inverter Supply Board. I replaced it and it works fine again.

You have a few choices:

1. You can try leaving the TV unplugged for 30 minutes so the TV can reset itself.


2. If by chance the TV is still under warranty, go that route.


3. If you have some electronic experience, if you can find and purchase a Service Manual at Tvtechcenter.com; It will help you diagnose the source of the problem and fix it by soldering in the new part. The Service Manual will give you circuit diagrams, test points, and part# lists.Usually, cost under $6. And most cases the new part cost less than $15. The service manual at the site is under LC320EM82S.


4. Pay a TV shop to do the repairs. It maybe costly, but get an estimate of how much they will charge. That way you can decide if it worth repairing or replacing the whole TV.


I hope I shed some light on the subject for you.

SOURCE: Emerson TV LC320EMXF Remote code for Direc TV

I got the same TV for my stepdaughter and had the same problem. None of the Emerson codes worked. We use Dish Network but I did the autoscan thing on the remote and found that it was 672 which is listed as a Sylvania. I don't know if it will help in your case but maybe try the Sylvania codes. Good luck.

SOURCE: remote control code for 32 inch lcd EMERSON TV

I succeeded is using the DirectTV remote control for the Emerson 42" plasma TV, by using a Samsung code. On my TV, was 10060. If this one does not work, there are a bunch of others that might work. Good luck

What "existing cable/tv outlet" are you talking about exactly? Do you mean a cable wall connection? If so, that will only work if the service is active. If you mean you connected the antenna to the cable connection on the TV, then now you just need to set the TV
dug7989 is correct... most TV stations do not broadcast in analog anymore, however, your location may be different. Most of us don't receive any analog channels at all.
To get your digital channels, make sure you have an antenna (amplified work a little better) connected to the TV, and change your "input selection" to video. You can do this on the remote or the TV. Then go to the settings menu, select digital (not analog) and re-scan. Since this TV has a digital tuner, you won't need the analog converter used for older sets. Hope this helps!

That little shock has between 500 to 21,000 volts. Sensitive transistors and microchips definitely get damaged permanently from static electricity.

I touch the on/off button on the Prima TV to turn

I am sure you had some strong static electricity. The static spark arced to inside of the TV in to the circuit board. Many of the low cost TV sets have poor static electricity protection.
In most cases there is damaged caused by static shock to electronic devices.
Just for curiosity, you can try unplugging the set from the AC mins and plugging it back in to do a simple reset, in case there is no damage and some logic device became hung up.
Last year I picked up my mobile phone and got a static shock from it. I had to get a new phone. This phone never worked again!

Static shock when we turn tv off and it went blank

Look at the power supply first since it is easier to get to, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

TV won't turn on.

Stevenson

the fact that you got shock is because something is not right inside the tv. You need to have that tv check because a manufacturer will not fabricated a tv that can electrocute anyone, specially when you turn the volume. Static electricity is always present in front of any tv that might be the cause of why you got shock. By removing your coat, and touch some metallic object you may get electrocuted, because of static electricity. Please, I want you to have that tv check, I can check that tv for you. I felt something is wrong inside the tv, and something is loose inside like pennies and toys objects. That's my impression. My e-mail address [email protected]

Static shock possibly fry my soundcard?

Static shock can fry your sound card from electro static discharge and it can also fry other PC components try another set of headphones in the pack of the PC. Or another pair of speakers rather than using your monitor and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem. And yes, it's probably from static shock because I shocked the tv when I went to turn it on the other day. Now nothing, it goes on but none of the button work. Is there anything we can do about this? Help!

After static shock, keypad on fax machine is not working...everything else ok

Most office machines are properly grounded and don't suffer from static problems as severe as this. The machine is not repairable. Before you replace the machine, make sure that your electrical outlets are properly grounded. Then buy a line conditioner that will protect against this.
