Power outage Had a power outage today for a couple of seconds and when I turned my tv back on, the volume went all the way up to 100 and stayed there. Tried to put the volume back down but can't get it to work. If I press and hold the volume button on the tv, it will go back down to 0 but as soon as I let the button go, the volume goes right back up to 100. Also the blue power light is flickering and when you go into settings, everything is also flickering and you can't change anything. Tried unplugging the tv but still the same. Any ideas to what might have happened or if the problem can be fixed?

I had the same problem happen this afternoon, so I took it apart, and the source of the problem is the key controller panel (behind the buttons). It's held in place by 2 screws, if you take the case apart, which is literally only 15 or 20 screws, and then loosen the 2 screws holding the key controller panel on, and then use a small screwdriver to space it out from the button caps. Tighten the screws, and put it back together. Just be careful not to let it go too far to the other side, or you'll have a problem with the menu going on and off at random, which is just as annoying.

SOURCE: TV won't turn on!

The failure on these LCDs is mostly with a defective power supply. It appears like the voltage is not enough to make it work.
I repair these power supplies, let me know if you require further assistance. You can also write to [email protected] for more info.

SOURCE: RCA L46WD22 won't turn on after being off overnight

RCA are beautiful televisons, what is happening is that when the faulty fan that cools down the processor stops working, your processor over heats and a temperature gage inside reconizes this and shuts down the television. unlike some other models that i choose to remain nameless
*cough sony cough cough* where you need to replace the t.v,

RCA has a safty feature that allows the t.v to shut down with out it doing any harm. Ok folks, this is the easyest answer that i am going to ever give anyone.

All you need to do is Replace the FAN! that fan that cools down the processor to allow the fast movements to give the vibrant pictures in stunning accurate pixle compounds. it will cost about $50 for the fan and $200 for the guy/girl to install it.

So there you are a complex problem with a simple answer. you are one lucky person, you choose the right television the only factory defect was the fan. your t.v should last 15years without any serious problems.

I hope this has helped you folks. i am called the flat pannel Guru in my buisness.

How do I fix my panasonic vierra that won't come on after a power outage?

Pull the plug and with the power disconnected hold the power button on for 60 seconds. After at least the 60 seconds plug the tv in and try to start it. If it works great if not , hold the power button in the on position for a count of 20 with the tv plugged in . If theres still no Joy try power with one of your volume buttons at the same time . One of these should provide a hard reset for the tv.

Shut tv off at night . went to turn on in the a.m. and would not turn on !!!T

There are a couple of capacitors on the board that will go bad 10 uF 450 volt electrolytic capacitors
they will be raised on the top of the capacitor or maybe discolored.
I have had another brand of tv that did this but just had the red power light flashing and I held down the power button with each other button for a few seconds. example hold power and volume down then go to power and volume up ect. even try menu and the other buttons. then unplug tv for a few seconds and plug back in and power up. it might be worth a try.

Inputs do not work after power outage

The set has three ways to reset---the tiny button on the front, A second is called a soft reset, and the third requires going into the tech Menu with a code via the remote.

Try the soft reset first and let me know if it helps.

With the set on hit: Menu, 1, 2, 3, and enter.

ILO 2706 TV WONT TURN ON

This TV might have been affected by the power outage even if it was not ON at that moment. There is a standby voltage still present even when OFF and connected to the AC line.
There might be different failures on this TV:
1. The power supply might be defective after the power outage.
2. The main board could also be defective since the power supplies for today's TVs are not well regulated and once the voltage getting to the power supply increases, the standby voltage voltage will also increase damaging voltage sensitive components like the microprocessor or memory circuitry.

Let me know if you require further assistance.
