hi there i have this polaroid 42" TLX-04244B flat screen it turns on for a split sec and then goes black i hear a buzzing sound for a couple secs right before the screen goes black the power light stays blue so its gettin power, and if i hold a light up to it I can see picture, what is the problem plz help me fix this so i can have a tv again thanks

Re: Polaroid TLX-04244B
Can you post some high resolution pictures of the inverter slave and inverter master boards? Specifically around the connectors to the bulbs.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Polaroid TLX-04244B
Okay, set your meter to 20k ohms, and measure the resistance between the pins in each of the red circles. We are trying to identify a faulty transformer. Note: You must do this while the TV is off or you could damage your multimeter.
Also, is there only one lamp connector? Are there any other inverters? I also find it strange that both terminals of the connector are connected to the same trace...Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

If so they all give me 0.04 but the one on the end of the board the left solder point does nothing .Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered.

I understand that the t.v has to be off but does it make a difference if its plugged in?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Polaroid TLX-04244B
Can you repeat the test for the other inverter?
The results so far are inconclusive. The transformer that doesn't read anything might be faulty but I couldn't be certain

Re: Polaroid TLX-04244B
Okay, so I'm stumped, that's the right setting, but I'd expect results of "6000" or something for typical inverter transformers. Try again on the 200k range, but that would be very high for those types of transformers.
Another test. While the TV is off, disconnect the slave inverter bulb connector. Turn on the TV. Do you hear the buzzing noise and does the screen light up? Try it with the master board (reconnect the slave). Does the same thing happen? The board that does not produce the effect is probably the bad one.Please do not PM me with questions!

Re: Polaroid TLX-04244B
Ok so I did another test and the left ones still nothing and now with using the 200k the right ones jump from 173.3 to 0.01.
I also tried disconnecting the slave and turning on the t.v no light and no buzzing and did the same with the other one and the same thing they both have to be plugged in for the light to come on.
