I have a rca model 40LA45RQ that will not turn on. When you hit the power button the light turns blue but no picture or sound. I tried replacing the power supply board and that did not fix it.

I agree with The Knight who answered above. You should check to find a main module replacement at:
http://www.shopjimmy.com/rca-40re01tc81xlna0-e1-main-board-for-40la45rq.htm $ 64.51 with a 6 month warranty. Be certain to match the identifying tags on your particular main module. Follow the instructions for PC board Identification that Shop Jimmy provides to be certain that you main module is compatible with the screen variety in your TV

Fault to its main board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ . In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

If the TV goes in standby, then it is in protection mode.

Ensure also that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending
bad signal, check if you get same problem on DVD with no receiver box
connected.

Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible causes.

1The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting the flashing light.

If you are in situation one, then the TV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

On LCD Pay particular attention at inverter and power board, power board can be inspected looking for bulged or leaking capacitors, then tested with a multimeter. The inverter is more difficult to test , there is need to read voltages, should be done by a tech. Also the LCD controller board can cause same problem

Look for bad capacitors, burnt parts in the power supply first.

Rca 40LA45RQ . power light comes on but nothing else (no picture, sound, menu). Unplugging and plugging back in does not work (anymore).

Mine is doing the same thing. Drives me crazy. Usually turns on in the morning, but not at the end of the day. Makes no sense.
