Maybe stuck button on remote? Try removing batteries then power tv on at tv.

If you want to spend the mon ey order a replacement main board but on a set that old it may not be worth repairing and the board may be hard to find

SOURCE: Olevia 242T 42" LCD HDTV - Suddenly No Picture, Nothing Works

 I heard they were restructuring their company or something.
There has been a change ownership from Syntax-Brillian to Olevia International Group.
Details of Olevia brand  
Unfortunately for all of us (we have 747i) service seems very poor and the failure mode you describe doesn't give me any clues despite 40+ years of service experience.
Ours is still 100% but I now suspect our trouble will come.

SOURCE: Power on problem for My Syntax Olevia LCD TV 23"

I have a 24" Olevia LCD TV. Same symptoms (Stdby LED is on, press power and it flashes off, then back on). The USB cable to the Service Port also worked. But being of sound technical mind, I figured this means that the PC is supplying the +5v to the circuit. What I did was disassebled the TV, carefully disconnected all the cables, and opened it up to reveal the circuitry. I looked over the circuit and noticed the 1000uf/16v capacitor at position CS21 was failed and bulging. I removed the cap, tested it and verified that it was indeed failed. I went to a local Radio Shack and picked up a 1000uf/35v electrolytic, after all, the value is what mainly matters as long as it's not lower voltage than the original. I replaced the new CS21 capacitor back in the circuit (it is polarity sensitive, so pay attention to what the original mounting position is). I reassembled the TV and Viola! Works! No need for the USB cable to the Service Port!

I hope this helps someone!

SOURCE: Power supply module for Olevia Model 237-S11

i have the same exact problem with my cheap made olevia lcd tv. these were designed to last about 2-3 years. the company has closed up and left the building.the power boards they used were cheap and had very poor capacitors on them that is really the main problem cheap parts.the power board is about 100 if you can find one. i am in search for 1 with no luck. very easy to replace yourself. i have taken mine apart twice to try to figure out what was wrong. looks mainly plug and play on all the boards. repair shop wants 300 to fix mine so i am either gonna trash it or wait forever for a power supply board. good luck!!

SOURCE: Olevia LT26HV LCD TV won't turn on

Olevia has problems with the power supplies. Best solution is to remove the back of the TV. On the 542 it is about twenty number 1 phillips head screws. locate the power supply connectors check the board for the voltages, clearly marked on the PCB. Continue to check the voltages by powering on the Television. all voltages should be within its described range. If a voltage is low or nonexistent, the power supply is bad, usually a bad capacitor.
There are three series of caps, on the low voltage side it is 16 volt, next 24 volt and finally 36 volt (these are just max ratings.
which ever power that was found low the cap would be near that voltage output connector.
next step is to remove the board and replace the capacitor, using a soldering iron and making sure to solder with no slop.
with the board on an insulated (nonconductive surface connect the board to the televion. Check voltages and if no other voltage issues reassemble.

Volume sticking??

Issue that you have explained can be related to volume control micro switch. Sometimes due to humidity or stuck contact volume goes up without user's control. You may try to pull the volume + button and exercise the contact. replacing micro switch is really low cost like a dollar. but soldering should be done by a skilled tech.

There is secondary possibility that controller IC might be malfunctioning, It will not cost more than $20 to replace the IC.
Please post if you have further questions.

Good Luck

Sounds like main system control memory IC is faulty. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. Do a search by type in the brand name of your device at its search box.

We have a 3 year old olevia television. the other day, a horizontal line appeared on the screen. it is in the middle and goes from the left side to the right side about three quarters of the way. what can...

Hi,
I'm sorry but nothing can be done to fix the problem because it is defect of lcd panel (screen) that will be replaced but it would cost you approx new tv price so new tv is better choice instead of lcd panel replacement in this tv.
Again, I feel sorry for the bad news.

It's the 26 inch version but have problem with picture

Hi Paul,
It looks like your TV might have a main board failure if the screen stays white without video. Since your TV is less then a year, I would suggest to contact the manufacturers to get fix under warranty. Most electronics devices carry one year warranty.
Good Luck.

TV SCREEN GOES BLANK

Yes your inverter is bad, I have the same problem my set is about 1 and 1/4 years old. Because Olevia makes a terrible product there inverters are attached directly on to the panel, which means they will only sell the inverter along with the panel i.e $700+ to replace + $100 dollars labor if u don't know how to fix it ur self. I am currently searching to find the manufacture that makes the inverters because olevia will not disclose that information. I believe it is darfon, if so the inverter should cost about $150-200 depending. If you dont believe you can fix it ur self ur best bet is try and sell the set for scrap take ur $100 or so dollar and buy a quality product! Oh and dont call there support they will tell 10 different things before u find out this long for seen truth!
