AKAI 54 inch

This set with Akai is actually made by Samsung (they own and use the Akai name).

If lamp light etc and you have heard a cracking sound it may be the color wheel.

You can remove the lamp and look where it faces--look and the wheel can be seen----is it shattered or missing plastic pieces?

The wheel commonly fails in this fashion and is turning at over 12,000 rpm. The set will detect if the wheel is stopped or moving too slow and just what you describe will happen.

Wheel is widely available and You Tube has video instructions for replacing them by model number.

Questions?

I have had a few of these with similar symptoms. In one case the set had a coolant leak onto the circuit board. The way I found the problem was to unplug the power and removed the front cover.(most models you can remove speaker grill and access panel) Make sure power is unplugged. When I looked in using as much lighting as possible I was able to see small puddles of coolant that had dripped onto the circuit boards from the picture tubes above. The other one as I recall had an arcing picture tube which caused a screeching type sound seconds after plugging in, then it would go into protect mode and just have a blinking light. I'm sorry to say but in both cases it was deemed unrepairable due to expense or lack of parts. Although, in many other cases I was able to clean the leaks and circuitry to restore power. Keep in mind this is just an educated guess. Good Luck, Russmann.

Hello
Three digit universal code for Akai TV are:
002/ 003
Four digit universal remote codes for Akai TV are:
0105 0002 0077 0254
Direct Code Entry

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
3. Enter the 4 digit code from the code tables. Note: after a valid code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red indicator flashes.
4. With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your device, try one of the other codes for your brand.

Code Search If after trying "Direct Code Entry" your device does not respond, or if your brand is not listed, try doing a search of the code library for your code by following these steps.

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks once, then stays on.
4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
5. Press and release MUTE to install the code. The indicator light goes off.

Most users will want to store VCR codes under the VCR button, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want to store a VCR code under CBL, etc., first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry and press CBL in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY VCR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search.
OK.

I turned on the tv this morning it ran about 10 min.iheard a click the screen went black and will not come back on

Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

t.v sounds comes on picture not working can watch pip . sometimes when you turn the t.v the timer light in front flashes can u help

use input button to sw.

HELLO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A BAD FLY TRANSFORMER. . THAT NEEDS TO REPLACED. "GOOD LUCK"

I have the sames t.v you have to go in the back flip the power cord switch...then reboot the t.v.

The STKs are common and if you have an experienced electronics tech around they can replace them for much less money but the tech must have advanced soldering and IC exchange experience.

The STK ics, two of them, can be purchased on line for around $20 to $40 each.

Partstore has two models available - one for around $40 and another for around $55.

The part number is STK392-110 and if you google you can find them for as little as $6/each but I don't recommend the cheap ones as they are not reliable.

It takes a good tech around 3 or 3 hours to take the old ones out and solder in the new ones. Also, it is likely one or two resistors are burnt and will need replacing as well.
