My tv has stoped working when we try to turn it on a red light flashes for a few min then it stops and stays sloid red and tv wont come on what is wrong with this We were watching tv when all of a sudden it just shut off. we tried turning it back on and then unplugging it and leaving it unplugged for a few hours and then plugging it back in. the only way it will turn on is by plugging it back in. and the only thing that happens when plugging it back in is the red power light will flash but whne the power light becomes solid there is no picture noo nothing....what hapend to it?
Have you played with the TV settings using the remote?
Here's some suggestions from this link:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/TV-VCR-Stereo-1749/RCA-TV-Won-t-2.htm
It says there:
Have you tried the channel up and down buttons? They should turn the set on, also.
Here is what I suggest.
ONE: Do a hard reset. This will clear any corrupted soft codes. Unplug the power cord for 4 hours. Then repower.
TWO: Study the owners manual. You can download if from the rca.com web
site. There may be some instructions there that are pertinent.
THREE: If the power protection circuit has taken over the set due to
some shorted conditions internally, then the hard reset should allow
you to turn it back on but if the condition remains, it will just go
into auto off again. This means there is a hardware problem that is
locking up the protection circuit. Since there are so many possible
areas in the set that can cause this, you will need a service tech to
do the hands - on diagnosis for it.
FOUR: You can fix it once we know what exactly is wrong with it, but
since there are so many possibilities, that is the first problem: Just
finding out what is the real problem.
So, maybe these ideas will get you headed the right direction.
Now, if there is a lock on the power function, it will need to be
reset; there is a resetting procedure in the owners manual, I think.
Dear sir/madam,
It may be a cold solder joint. If so, you could fix it by yourself.
Have you done a loose connection test? Just bang the set with your
hand or fist on the side,, back or top to see if you can restore the
functionality. If so, then you might be lucky enough to keep in
working. If not, you may have to go in and find the poor connection and
solder it back down (or have it done). This is a minimal repair job
once you have found the bad solder joint or loose connection.
thanks
good luck
The power supply went out on the tv .its common it would be cheaper to buy another tv
Your picture tube is busted have it replaced by a tv technician....
The TV safety switch it is turning tv off because of a short or overvoltage, this can be caused ba a blown capacitor, an IC or another component on TV board, let me know if you get any error code.
You will probably need to take your tv to a technician for repairs, as unit must be taken apart and component on board tested. You find service number printed on last pages of tv owner manual.
Hey guys how do you know it is power supply or tube? there is no error code or flashing code published, please be serious....Regarding the user problem, check if there is a code on display, or if led blinks a certain number of times, so that we can understand where problem is located.

I need the make and model of your television.. usually the red light blinks out a code. i need to know how many times it blinks as well. so i can find out what code it is producing.
