I have an Olevia 242-T11 that is close to 3 years old. About a month ago it started coming on with no sound. Sometimes changing sources would bring the sound back, and sometime turning it off and back on would bring sound back. The Aux sound output always works. Well, about a week ago, it started having power up issues. This model has a blue light that is on on standby and off when on. When you would power it up, the blue light stays on. You have to hit the power button multiple times. Usually, when you power up, the light goes off, in a bit you get the Olevia splash screen, then you get the picture. Now the blue light flashes on and off, then you get to the splash screen and that goes off, the blue light comes on, then back to the splash then finally on. Once it is on it stays on. The power thing almost seems like POC tests are failing and it tries again. Sometimes the sound comes back on, after it is powered up and all is normal. So it would seem the main board could be OK and that the issue is with the power supply. Also, when warmed up it powers on fine and the power up is much worse when its cold in the house.
After searching it seems these TVs had lots of similiar problems that are the capacitor issues. Does this sound like it to you? Am I better to just get a new PSU unit for this, or is it a pretty safe bet that if there are swelled capacitors that this can be fixed?
I am an amateur radio operator to have a lot of kit building and troubleshooting skills, but am pretty disabled. Anyone know how difficult it is to get the back cover off? Cn it be taken off standing up or must it be laying down (have not looked at how the stand is attached).
Guess I am just looking for advice. Looks like a new PSU can be had on ebay for about 50 bucks. As always, even though it says new there are no guarantees!!! Plus it looks like one person had to make a wire change. Since it seems like the PSU is somewhat working, it may make sense just to replace the capacitors.
Any opinions. Do you all think there is a fair chance this is a capacitor problem? Thanks.
