    I had the same thing happen to my Sanyo, 3 months after the warranty. The repair shop says the part I need may cost over $800, that is crazy. I will let you know if I find a better solution. jax

    YOU CAN WATCH TV, THEN TURN IT OFF FOR THE NIGHT OR WHATEVER, AND THEN IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON. ONCE I TOOK OFF THE BACK AND REMOVED THE FUSES AND ALL CABLES AND THE POWER CORD, THEN PUT ALL THIS BACK ON AND THE TV CAME ON HOWEVER WHEN TURNED IF OFF AGAIN IT WONT COME ON AND I CANT GET A RESPONSE BY REMOVING THE FUSES ETC LIKE BEFORE
    HOW CAN I FIX, OR DO I NEED TO TAKE THE TV BACK TO THE STORE?

    TV was turned on with remote. It came on for a second then shut off and won't come back on. When you push the power button, you here a sound like it is coming on and the green light comes on, but the TV screen does nothing.

Followed Terryfic's solution. I am a DIYer and managed to order the part, desolder the old one and solder in the new one. However, when I turned it back on I got a black screen with sound. Hmmm, saw the adjustment screws but was hesitant. Ended up turning about 10 degrees one way and presto chango... Saved a $1200 upgrade to HD for a $30 part! Thanks

My TV was switching itself off, initially after 30 minutes, then after a while it wouldn't last for 2 minutes.

It was repaired for $80. There was a faulty switch somewhere to do with the power.

Magic.

How do I program this RCA nightclub universal remote for my Samsung smart TV

First understand that you need a little patience with this remote, it's a little slow, it may take a few seconds in between pushing buttons for it to react to your TV.

1)
-Turn on TV manually first.

we're going to try and get the remote paired to your particular tv

2)
-Facing RCA universal remote towards TV, press and hold both the POWER and TV buttons on the remote at the same time.. until the RCA universal remote POWER button lights up and is constantly on.

-Then press the PLAY button on RCA universal remote

(POWER button on remote should be blinking after pressing PLAY -- what the remote is doing is trying to program your TV with a list of codes. if your TV does not automatically shut off after a minute, press the PLAY button again. your TV should shut off. wait a few seconds before trying to press PLAY button again if you need to try again.)

3)
Assuming remote turned off TV. Now let's try to get the remote to turn on your TV

On the remote at top right is a REVERSE button, press that. You should see the POWER button on the remote blink once in response to you doing that.

Watch for the power on light on your TV.. your TV may take a few seconds to power on..

Wait a couple seconds. if your TV has not turned back on, press the REVERSE button again. the POWER button should blink once again in response

If your TV did not turn on. You may have to repeat pushing the REVERSE button waiting a couple seconds for the remote to try turning on your TV. For some people this can take several times, if not a dozen times. Just be sure to be patient and wait a couple seconds in between pressing the REVERSE button again. (what the RCA universal remote is doing is going through a list of codes trying to find the right model to pair to)

4)
Assuming the remote finally turned on your TV.. We are almost done. We programmed the remote to turn off the TV and turn on the TV. now we want to press the STOP button on the RCA universal remote to lock in those codes into the remote. After pressing the STOP button the light on the remote POWER button should turn off.

5)
We are done. You should be able to change the channels and raise and lower the volume of your TV.

RCA 32" wont turn on

It sounds like you may have a bad Horizontal Output Transistor (HOT) and/or a bad Flyback Transformer. The set is trying to start as indicated by the flashing light, but an internal fault is shutting it down right away. It could also be the Power Supply circuit. A 32in. set is not cheap to replace so it may be worth finding a repair technitian and at least getting a quote. The Flyback is the most expensive part, the others are minimal. If it is one of the above problems it could easily be repaired by a qualified technitian.
