I'm having problems turning on my t.v. sometimes i have to turn it off and on 20 to 30 times before the screen comes to life. The light on the front switches from red to blue but the unit doesn't wake up. I have tried cleaning the unit with compressed air... the problem happens when the t.v. is off for more then 30 minutes But sometimes only takes two or three tries to turn on.

Front area dome lights won't turn off killing battery life. where is the relay for this?

Can you manually turn them off by moving the selector switch on the dome to "off" position? If not, the length of time that the dome lights were on may have melted the selector switch and you cannot turn them off except by removing the bulb...and replacing the switch or dome light.......

Laptop wont turn on philips freevents x51

The most likely problem is that your Hard Drive has Died.

If you can readily access another Laptop HDD, try it and see.

Other than that, I'd say the Motherboard has decieded to give up the Ghost.

Just Remember, A Laptops life expectancy is 3 years, after that you are treading on thin ice keeping Important Documents on it.
