Hi i am authorized repair center for polaroid. there are two ways this could be fixed. there are two capacitors that go bad in power supply that could be one fix caps will lookpuffedout, c112c113.

The other repair is replacing what is called the control box that is the guts of tv , it is simple to replace for a mechanical person. But the control box is expensive cost is 350..
To replace the caps you should be a repair tech cost is around 150to 200 to fix ,

this sound like panel or inverters that drive the lamps ( fluorescent lamps that are not replacable they are part of the panel).

Dish Network. I have a DVD player and that's about it. Have tried using just an external antenna as well. Same problem.

Check your antennae system, check cable connection
other than that your control module is defective

Is this problem only on one channel? How is the sound on other tv's in the house? You may have a weak signal on this one channel

It sounds like you have a power supply problem. I would suggest that if you are going to effect repairs on this unit yourself you get a schematic of the set and use a multimeter to test the power supply levels. This is good for a starting point, if you need any other assitance you can contact me or any of the FixYa experts to aid in additional troubleshooting.

go to the sound menu and shut off the BTSC-sound, SRS Panoramic 3D sound and place it into stereo.

Check the fuse near power supply.

Cost to replace about $35.00

this may be the LVDS cable that connects the panel electronics to the main board. try reseating this cable if no change then you have a problem with the main board.

Hi
There are different possibilities in your case¸but what happened to me ...
The LCD Backligh is out , I mean the bulbs or neons of the screen BACKLIGH, you have to check either the lights itself or the driver circuit which supply the HV to operate it, usually its a separate small long PCB beside the TV main board .
You can try this trick , Keep all lights off in the room and bring a table lamp, preferred a white neon one and face it lighted on the top of the screen with the TV on , try watch a very dark but exact picture with the sound you are hearing. This is a way to be sure that it is LCD backlights problem when using an external light to illuminate the screen .
It worked for me ,Good luck

Check the  back about half way dpwn
you will see a little trap door, pry it open with a screw driver and you should see the fuse. if you can't find the fuse take off the back black plastic cover ot go online  to vance baldwin.com and you can download the service manual for this tv

I would call or contact one of the shops on FixYa and get them to fix it. For this you may need to provide a schematic, what I would suggest doing is contacting the company and asking for the service documentation for the TV and then providing that to whomever you are having fix the device or if you feel comfortable do the work yourself you can use a FixYa Expert to start you on the process of troubleshooting the problem. It sounds like you do have a power supply problem.

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.
