Hi, I have an Akai LCT2785TA LCD tv approximately 2 years old. I was viewing the tv the night before it worked just fine, turned it on the next day and I get no picture. Everything works just as it did before but now when turned
on the Akai logo screen flashes for a few moments then the screen is totally black. I still hear the audio. Could this be a blown bulb? Thanks for your help

Hi, was there a resolution to this? I am experiencing the same problem with LCT3285TA purchased at Radio Shack in Media, PA. Radio Shack has refused to service the unit and has put me over to Akai for the manufacturer's warranty. I'd like to know what to expect and if this problem with the Logo coming up and the unit shutting off/restarting can be easily fixed, thanks.

This a work-around only, but it gets the TV started: Unplug the TV (verify that the red light at front of TV goes off) for 30 seconds or so. Re-apply power, then press the power button on the TV (the top-most of the row of 7 buttons). The red light will change to green, and eventually the screen will blossom.
The problem is that the TV will not start from Standby after warming up. Unplugging the TV briefly allows you to start the TV from a "cold" start.

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.
SOURCE: FixYa database totally screwed up!
Oddly, entering only the model number - LCT2785TA - brought up only pertainent messages although I see it often that some folks manage to enter car problems under washing machines for example so it isn't only the Fixya search facilities that are screwed up, sometimes it is an entry error.
Now, I'll see if I can find your original problem message since you didn't bother to keep it connected to your complaint.
