Sometimes this can occur through other equipment connected to the TV (e.g. link to home theatre system / stereo etcetera. I get this sometimes if I have left my laptop connected to my stereo system, which my TV is also connected to, even if the stereo is not turned on.
Unplug all external devices one by one to see if this solves the problem.

You have weak capacitors in the power supply and the signal board. I have not repaired this particular unit, but have experienced this with other Polaroid TVs. You will need a TV tech to replace those capacitors. It is a very time consuming task and requires patience and much care to remove the capacitors. Tell a tech that they must be very careful when they remove a cap in the signal board, as they can peel off a pcb trace. In most cases they replace the signal board, but the capacitors can be replaced! Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support!

Check the power supply module DC filter caps, then check to see if you do have 24vdc output feeding the backlight inverter board.

That sounds like it may be a power supply board problem where the power is not getting to the entire unit. It may be a blown capacitor on the board.

Could be inverter problem or electrolytic capacitors value out in power supply.

Look at the power supply first; look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

If your Polaroid Roku TV is working fine but the red light is continuously flashing, it could indicate an issue that may need attention. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Power Cycle:
   • Turn off the TV and unplug it from the power source.
   • Wait for at least 5 minutes.
   • Plug the TV back in and turn it on.
2. Check Remote Control:
   • Ensure that there are no stuck buttons on the remote control. Press each button to make sure they are not stuck in the pressed position.
3. Update Firmware:
   • Check if there is a firmware update available for your TV. You can usually find this information in the TV's settings menu.
4. Reset to Factory Settings:
   • Perform a factory reset on your TV. This will erase your settings, so be sure to back up any important information first.
5. Check for Physical Obstructions:
   • Make sure there are no physical obstructions around the TV, particularly around the infrared sensor on the TV and the remote control.
6. Contact Customer Support:
   • If the issue persists and your TV is still under warranty, consider contacting Polaroid customer support for assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or offer a solution.
7. Professional Repair:
   • If the TV is no longer under warranty and the issue persists, it might be advisable to consult a professional technician or a TV repair service to diagnose and fix the problem.

Always refer to your TV's user manual for specific instructions related to your model. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to seek assistance from the manufacturer or a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.

From a previous post and an answer from our Television Expert Larry, normally not worth repairing Polaroid televisions are made in China and are not made with quality components. Wow, they are only $239 new, what quality can you expect? His advice was to replace with mainstream brands like Sony, LG or Samsung.

2. Press and hold the SET button on your SANSAI URC-L969 universal remote until the LED light turns on.

5. Test if your remote is working by pressing some buttons like volume up/down or channel up/down.
