My Polaroid FLM-2601 TV is roughly 2 years old and a few months ago would require me to press the ON button multiple times for the TV to actually turn on. Every time I would press the ON button, the TV would make sort of clicking sounds as if it was trying to turn on but failed. It would progressively take longer and longer for the TV to turn on. Until yesterday, when it just wouldn't turn on no matter how many times I pushed the ON button. It is really infuriating. Some light on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Pretty good chance the power supply board is bad. A number of capacitors will become leaky and you lose all power. Some techs still know how to do componentLavalservice but most just change the board $$$$

First of all, check your input source on your TV.
Turn on TV.
Press the Input button on your remote.
Make sure the Source Input matches the corresponding device that is wired on the back of the TV.
The humming noise is produce when the power supply is trying to compensate the other circuitry's demand for proper power getting to them. The problem is that the capacitors have lost their dielectric capabilities and are not able to filter and provide a clean power in a timely manner.
Let me know if you require further assistance.
We have the same problem and what worked for us (until now) is holding it in until it comes on. Used to be just a few minutes but now I prop a book next to it. Last time, I just left it on with a screen saver on my PC which worked until the power went out. I think it's a power supply issue.
