20 Most Recent Element Electronics FLX1510 15.4 in. LCD TV Questions & Answers

the prob is you bought a tv that has no support for repair or techsupport. you usually end up paying more for the tv trying to get fixed. rather than purchasing name brand with manufacturer warranty. the panel is bad and i wouldnt even try to fix. thats why the tv was so inexpensive. contact element for some type of exchange program at flat rate.

After 3 years, you will need to inspect the DC filter caps inthe power supply, look for caps with leaking/bulging tops, high ESR.
That will be the starting points.
If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on:

Ok, I am having the same issue. I just bought my tv - same model at the Target Black Friday sale. Can I ask, did yours make a low humming noise before you changed it out. I still am within my 30 day exchange policy, so I am thinking it would be wiser just to exchange it... but my concern is, would I get one with the same problem (or worse) in exchange?

Where your Smart TV already has an app in its app pages, start that app, log onto your Netflix account (which you need to pay for) and watch away. If your TV does not have a Netflix app, give Player a try at http://www.Playora.com - this is an app that runs on a PC and lets you open content on the screen of the PC and toss it to a lot of different Smart TVs (Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Sony, JVC, etc.). Ithing, It will be helpful for you.

I lost the screws for my legs for my 50 inch element TV????

Some sets and devices have HDMI control that can turn off and on devices connected to them. Look into the settings of both devices and search for anything to do with HDMI control.
