Blue LED light comes on but nothing else happens when turned on

I have a Polaroid FLM 3232. I turn it on, led light goes from red to blue, meaning its on; however, there is no picture and no sound. The TV cannot be turned back off either unless it is unplugged, the light just remains blue when the power button is pressed. What could be the problem and how could it be fixed?

It can be the main board or the power supply, look at the power supply first since it is easier to get to, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

On top of the power supply board check the blue wire for 5 volts. If you do not have 5 volts coming back in from the main board the main board is bad. discount merchant.com has them for around 50.00 bucks.

Sound but no picture.

It sounds like it is the picture tube. The same thing just happened to me. The back of my television started smoking and then there was no picture.

Polaroid flm-3232 locked or in sleep mode? Is that possible

Hi there!

I work in an electronics store and I've come across this problem before. The only solution that has ever worked for the people who call in or come to see us is pretty simple. You need to unplug your PC from the TV (if you haven't already done so), turn the TV on by using the "channel +" button. Some TV's when turned off at the wall will not turn back on again unless you press the channel + button. Give it a go and see what happens. Let me know if you need more help.

Also, it sounds like your laptop may not have been supported due to the wrong resolution being outputted through your VGA connection. When you get your TV turned on again I'll see if I can help you get them to work together,

Cheers and good luck!

Abby.

FLM 3232 by Polaroid won't turn on

Usually TV's have that period of time where they'll turn off after an hour or two of no one pressing  a button. If the problem persists, You could get another one and return the old one with the new one's receipt.

Flm-3232 Power supply

The problem is with your "control box". I just went through this also. You didn't say how old your TV was. My TV was 1 year, 3 months, 26 days old when my control box went out. I finally got the number to Polaroid and called until I got help. (don't expect any help with their call center) They sent me a new control box and the TV works fine now and the box has a 90 day warranty. Unfortunately, if your TV is older than mine was, its unlikely they will help you. You can watch ebay for a unit, they come up regularly. You will need to know which one is the model version for your TV. Look at your serial number, the 4th and 5th characters tell you which version. If your model version is 00, 01, 02, 03, A1, 23 then the unit is: *909-KS0-GF371XAH. If it is 12, 13, A2 then the unit is: *909-TE1-GF378XCH. This info on the serial #/model version was given to me be a repair tech that had a control box for sale on ebay. I have not verified the information, nor did I have to use it, but it sounds accurate and he seemed knowledgeable. I hope this helps, good luck.
