Hi guys. Apologies if I come across as idiotic/rude/anything else negative.
I bought a Toshiba 40L1333B TV 3 weeks ago, second-hand from a friend. At my mother-in-law's house, the TV worked fine for about 4 days. I took it home and set it up, connecting my Chromecast (powered by the USB port on the side of the TV) and my Xbox One (via HDMI) as well as a standard aerial to utilise the Freeview box.
For the first week the TV had no problems. Then one day the TV refused to switch on, with the standby/on indicator flicking between red and green at a constant speed of roughly 0.5s. The only way to power it on would be to switch it off by the socket and back on again. Then one day, this method also failed and I have not got it back working since.
I have taken the back off and looked for anything out of the ordinary but I don't know a lot about TVs, but I do work with PCs, laptops and monitors a lot so I would like to think that I would spot something like a bad capacitor.
I do not have a multimeter with me but I have read that I might need to check out some parts of the Power Supply board?
I've tried many websites searched multiple forums, video searches etc and to no avail.
I can replace the board for roughly £40 but I would like some advice on this first.
I would appreciate some help from you guys, I've seen from previous threads that you are very knowledgeable and have helped many people.
If you need any pictures or any additional information I'll try my best to provide it.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Dean
