FLM-2011 will not turn on

My Polaroid FLM-2011 TV will not go on. If you push the on button on the TV the blue light goes on for a second and the red light then comes on. It is serial number G0500060580002391. Any ideals? Thanks

    My FLM-2011 seems to have died in a similiar manner tonight while watching the Olympics. We had a power outage for 2 seconds and then the tv was off. It will not turn back on with the remote or the manual on button. Of course the tv is out of warranty. Help! I am all set to buy a new 52 in Samsung for the living room next week. I cant afford to replace this one in the bedroom too!

    I have a 17" Polaroid TV with exactly the same problem. I've been very pleased with the thing until it started turning itself off at random times. Most of the time it will come back on, but sometimes it won't.

    With the throw-away nature of most electronics today, I'm figuring I will just have to replace it.

I have the same issue. It's the power supply. I tried a PS from another TV that had the same Volt aand Amp rating and it powered up with no issue.

My Polaroid FLM-2011 won't turn on. How can I know if it's the remote or the TV?

Check the remote control for its infra-red emission. Check it with fresh batteries. Check by pressing all the buttons on it; and see whether all of it generates infrared signal while pressing. If it is found OK, check and replace the infrared sensor inside the TV. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. It has details about how to check a remote control; by one among the post. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. If the remote control is found OK; check and replace the infra-red sensor inside the TV. Contact any service technician.

Polaroid FLM-3732 Television turns on then off

A common problem with this television is the power unit. Some of the capacitors go out on them within 2 years. You can buy a replacement power unit for about $150 or if you know how to use a soldering gun you can purchase the capacitors for about $5 and fix the unit yourself.

I just fixed my Polaroid 3732 and it cost me $3.49. I would push the power button and the standby light would come on but the picture would not appear. After I changed the capacitors it starts right up.

Look for bad capacitors, burnt parts in the power supply first.

When I push the power button, the blue light comes on but tv doesn't

It is the capacitor. It is really easy to fix, and it will cost you about $4. The capacitor is on the power board and it looks like a small battery. The bad capacitor will have a small bulge on the top, the good ones will be flat on top. You can buy them at Radio Shack. Just look on the side of the capacitor to see which one you will need. If you need any further info I would by glad to help. I have a 40in polaroid that this happened to and it works like a dream now.
