Sceptre X23BV-Naga 23 in. LCD TV Questions & Answers
Tv will not turn on
had a very similar situation with my Phillips 42 in. LCD TV.
Here was my Problem. The Power Supply Board. I opened it up( Warranty
was Expired) and found several faulty capacitors on the PSB. Its
pretty common. Major Electronic companies were sold faulty capacitors
that fail in 2-5 years instead of 10-20 due to a lack of
preservatives. It wouldn't surprise me if you have the same problem.
TV will work fine for a few years and then just fail completely or
slowly deteriorate.
Here are the solutions
1. Have it Repaired
2. Check for faulty caps and if you find some(budged or leaking) you know you have located a problem
Remove the board and replace the whole thing.
3. If you have some soldering skills you can replace the faulty caps.
Caps are very inexpensive, under a dollar in most cases. I replaced 4 for about $5.00
Hope this Helps.
Good Luck

I have a DVD that is stuck in the player, the eject button does not release it. Help!
You'll have to take the cover off. This only consists of a few screws to remove, and lifting off the cover. When you have the cover off, try turning any white gears (carefully) to open the drawer. Some tray mechanisms have bad design. They refuse to open after a few months. This is in the design of the plastic parts and mechanisms of the cd drawer. Flawed design.

Sceptre hktv83ac black screen no image
A lot of people miss understand how the backlight circuit in the power supply works, you will get voltage testing to ground as its the B- side that's switched, the chassis ground and backlight B- are not connected. If you tested each LED strip and they're all good there has to be something else going on other than the typical backlight issue we see on so many LED sets.. I'm not an authorized service center for this brand TV so I don't have a service manual, if this set has separate power board and main test the bl_on pin on the power supply, you should have around 3.5 volts there, that's what tells the back light section of the power supply to turn on.If you don't then it's a bad main board

Programming Notes
• If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to program your remote.
• Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may operate only a few functions of your device. There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality.
This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device.
