Hey guys finally got a little money to buy a couple tvs...
My latest patient is this polaroid 37" lcd. Model number flm - 373b
When plugged in the red light would come on and shut off or stay on depending on how it felt. When attempting to power up led would turn blue, then dim signifigantly a few times, then stay on blue. No picture, no response, will not turn off with remote or power button.
The former owners symptoms were intermittent lockup wont power off also no remote response, intermittent powerdown, power on several times to get the set to boot, all got worse as time went on untill finally it would not power on anymore. All the symptoms i was hoping to hear...
I had my doubts but tore it down. Found two 1000uf/10v capxon caps.
I did not have any 1000 ufs so i subbed two 1200uf/10v caps. Plugged everything back in and viola! good as new!
I will update if this set fails my overnight burn in test but so far it seems this was a simple repair. An ideal repair would involve replacing all power supply caps just not these two, but in my case im hoping this will get me by.
