I have a Polaroid TLA-01511B LCD TV that goes blank shortly after power up. I have replaced all of the 1000uf and 470uf 25v 105 deg. caps on the power / inverter board. I still have the same problem. What should I replace next?

Most of the people thinks, and trusts, that a TV is working only with capacitors. Not such. Don't you see any other components on board, other than capacitors?
With your TV, a shut-down occurs after it has switched ON; means, there is something shorted component/s on the other board, than the power board. Actually, the power board trends to start, but a short circuit to any other board prevents it to stay ON, and this is a protection. The protection circuit built in; detects this short circuit, and shuts down the power supply, and thus preventing further damages.
It will be best for you to contact any service technician in this case, because, it sounds that you're not sound in electronics. OK.

    Dear GOP, you have no idea of my background in electronics or the type of work that I have done in the last 25+ years. I hoped to get a schematic or some sound advice, not an insult.

SOURCE: how to disassemble polaroid TLA-01911C lcd tv

1) Take the foot off the stand and with a long philips screwdriver remove the single screw that is at the top of the leg (inside leg). Then with the tv facing down lift straight up on the leg.
2) remove the two screws comming from the back of the tv along the bottom edge.
3) With the tv face down on a soft surface ( towel, bedspread, ect).
4) Be carefull with this step it this tv gave me some difficulty and I am experianced with this proceedure. Too much pressure or forcing it too hard will break your case. The back of the tv has a lip which inserts into the face.The face has tabs that lock into slots in the lip of the back. Carefully pry between the face and back pannel (I used my thumbnail and a 1" plastic putty knife.) and slide along the seam until the locking tabs pop loose. Continue sliding your instrument along the seam until all tabs are loose.
5) The back of the tv lifts off of the face leaving all electronics in the face of the tv.

That gets you into the tv. what you do from there is up to you, Good luck;)

The bad capacitors in this set are usually NOT on the power supply--they are on the other (logic) board. You will find several bulging capacitors there. Replace em all....

SOURCE: Failed Repair Job. A friend of mine called a

replacing the 10V caps with 25V caps is perfectly fine. In fact, if it was manufactured like that, those caps may not have blown.
Replacing a 680uF with a 1000uF could be problematic depending on it's function.
680uF is pretty specific when 500uF and 1000uF are much more common and therefore cheaper - one would think that the engineers would have tried using those in the design rather than a 680uF - makes me think the value of the cap is important to the frequency of the circuit it's in.
Other concerns might be whether he got any of them in backwards or not.
That's a rookie mistake, but still an easy enough one to make (for a rookie).
Also, with that many swollen caps, I wonder if there were any that leaked out the bottom before swelling at the top (IE - if some caps were missed in the replacement procedure)
Also, with that large a number of caps gone, other components may have been compromised or blown.
I'd be testing the transistors around those caps (most likely punched through rather than open), looking for fusible links (surface mount fuses, 0 OHM resistors) that may have opened up etc.
The initial attack on the problem was basically correct, and in many cases probably would have fixed it (if say the 680uF cap was functioning as a ripple filter).
But when that didn't fix it, a deeper analysis should have been done to complete the repair (including locating a 680uF cap).

Is a 2200uf 10v cap better then a 1000uf 25v in a samsung tv with clicking problems and wont turn on

The word is than, so the phrase is "better than"

2200uF is fine, but wasted where only 1000uF is needed.

10v where 25v is required is a big problem. For DIY repair jobs where you are just replacing parts, never under spec the voltage of a capacitor. You can go a little higher, but never, ever go less.

If you want to put in a better part, choose a decent make such as Panasonic, and go for a 105 deg C Low ESR component.

I have a Polaroid Tla-01511b that goes blank after a few seconds from power up. I replaced all 1000uf and 470uf 25v 105 degree caps on inverter without luck. What else should I replace?

Nothing more to do. Contact any service technician.If you're sound in electronics, and wish to get more details, check this link. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Selecting the view option, either to Mosaic / Flip card, can be selected by the drop-down list, by the top left of the display window, will make surf easy.

Polaroid Tla-01511B LCD TV goes blank after power up. Power led stays on. I replaced all 1000uf and 470uf 105 degree caps, no luck. What else should I replace?

have you been tried to dis able the supply going to the inverter board for the back light which may have bad parts causing the supply to drop. by the way is there any blinking lights after it turns off? it will tell you the error either in the power supply, inverter board or at the main board.

Optiquest q20wb Screen goes blank after powering off

I had the exact same problem. The screen went black and the green light flashed. I went ahead and took the monitor apart (scary) and took a look at the power supply circuitry. I saw 6 suspicious electrolytic caps on the board. Three 470uF 25V 105 degree C caps, two 1000uF 10V 105 degree C caps, and one 470uF 10V 105 degree cap. They all appeared to be slightly bulging and one even had a small hole in the top. I decided to replace all of them. The parts cost a little more than 5 bucks. I couldn't find a 470uF 10V cap at my local store so I bought a 16 V version instead, which is fine. Anyway, after replacing all 6 caps, the monitor works as good as new.

Polaroid 37"

The reason for the first failure is use of very poor quality or LOW voltage caps.The 35 volt Radio Shack caps will work fine and will give no future trouble.Too low a voltage rating or poor manufacturing leads to leakage and drying out of electrolytic caps.35 volt versus 10 volt is a higher rating and,within reason,will not cause a problem.For technical reasons don't go extremely high(such as 150 volts).This might cause a problem down the line.

Akai tv wont turn on

I bought one of these tv's at a thrift store and it had the same problem, orange light blinking and static sound coming out of the speakers, no video at all.
The problem was the power supply board, this power supply has multiple outputs that feed the circuitry, 12V, 24v, 5V.
There was nine electrolitic capacitors I had to replace to fix it, all of them were bulged they are easy to spot, I measure one of them that was supposed to measure 1000uF but measured only 65uF. you can buy these from digikey for about 50 cents each, they need to be rated at 105 deg c and the profile has to be below the heat sink otherwise they will hit the top of the heat sink, the spacing between the leads has to be 5mm so they fit in the pcb. I replaced 3 1000uF/25v, 3 470uF/16v and 3 1000uF/16v and that fixed the problem, I bought this tv broken for 100 bucks fixed it with 6 bucks.
Good luck, don't perform repair if you are not familiar with dangerous AC voltage inside the TV.

RE: Replace 16v 1000uf

You can change the voltage rating to a higher one without compromizing the circuit. You can not lower the value however. In other words, using a 1000uF cap rated at 16V would be OK. The short answer is no, you can not use the extra caps you have unless you put 3 of them in series. (I doubt you have the space for that.)
