As others have stated your problem is most likely caused by bad capacitors on the power supply board. This power supply board is the 200-000-xxxxtltx and is the same board used in the Polaroid TLA-01911 TVs. Here is a repair guide that shows what capacitors to look for and replace on this board to rebuild it. This is much less than buying a new board even if you could find one for sale.

power supply problem of course...set is not dead so line fuse would be good as you said...regulating power supplies are very stable but do contain >>>CAPs<<< caps can leak ,swell do to heat ,etc.
check for visible signs of damage to caps. on circuit board...check regulating transistor( on heat sink)

SOURCE: Element flx-3210 lcd tv

I have an element lcdtv 32inch. The tv is less than a year old, i was watching the tv and it just shut off. The red light is on, when i go to power it up, the blue light comes on for a second then blinks, and goes back to red. I know its not a brand name tv, but for 600 bucks, it should last for more than 8 months. Anyone have any advice ?

SOURCE: Element FLX 3202 no power

This was the same thing that happened to me. When I took it apart and checked the power supply the capacitor (largest on the board) was blown. I called Element Electronics, which turned out to be Polaroid, and they sold me the entire control box assembly for appx $115 with a $100 core deposit to ship my old assembly back. My core deposit was credited back to my account within 2-weeks. BTW, when mine went out I had no power light on at all. Lastly, If you have questions about doing this yourself let me know, while I'm no electrical engineer, I did a ton of research trying to solve the problem.

SOURCE: Are the Polaroid FLM-3232 and the Element FLX-3202

not sure if there the same but the boards inside may be.

This sounds like the problem most LCD tv's get with swelled up capacitors in the power supply board. look for circular cylinder shaped parts rapped in plastic with writting on the sides, and metal tops, if the top is rounded over, not flat, it is bad. replace them.

the transformer for the backlight is usually what fails on the elements especially if the logo comes up briefly then the screen goes out. I would check the transformers.

Element flx 2210 does not power up automatic after pressing the power buttin

You have classic symptoms of a failing power supply board. As others have stated this is caused by the filter capacitors on the power board. This model uses the 200-000-xxxxtltx power supply which is the same one found in the Polaroid TLS-01911c TVs. Here is a link to a repair guide that shows what to look for and replace on this board to get you TV back up and running again.

When I tried to hook my FLX 3210 up to my computer it failed to turn on at all. I used this same LCD T.V. with my old Acer Computer and had no problems at all.

you may be having a power supply failure. i have seen many problems with capacitors on the power board in those models. are there any lights on the front when it doesnt turn on? if it were a power supply problem then you would maybe get a red light or blue light come on then go back off,
