It would appear the power supply is working then. Time to look at the main board, can you post a picture of it?

Sorry just looked at your photos again and your power board is mounted to the plastic body of the set so the mounting screws would not be grounded flocko

In the centre of the power board it reads, ACT 3611 / ERL28-T002 (Is this the board part number?)







This is what I can see.

Do you need any other pictures?

Re: Red light but no power - alba tv please help

been out cutting grass,well as Tom said 12 volt supply are there i thinks the 5V from the main must be there as well for the red standby led to light, so my best bet would be bad main board. and as such i would suggest a replacement board as i would think that testing and a repair on this would be beyond you at the moment.Look for part number on main board then search on Ebay.

Thanks for the reply!

Are you sure? I am willing to give it a go; I have to learn someday.
I know how to change capacitors. So if you think It may be a bad capacitor, maybe you could tell me how I test them; and then I could change any bad capacitors if needed.

Kind regards.

Re: Red light but no power - alba tv please help

Bad capacitors are to blame in about 5% of Tv repairs and cannot be tested with a multimeter.And as most of the part fitted to your main board are SMD and would need highly skilled soldering for there replacement a replacement board is your best bet. Flocko

Re: Red light but no power - alba tv please help

Thanks. I am looking for a replacement board; however, I wouldn't mind attempting to fix this one myself. I can solder very well, and I'm sure there will be a youtube video out there explaining how to do SMDs. I don't mind if I need to purchase a different tester off of ebay or something. As you can see I like to learn and do things for myself.

Hello all,

I completely changed the main AV board, the screen now comes on, but I am getting only a white screen. Any idea why? or how to resolve this?

Re: Red light but no power - alba tv please help

Do all the numbers on he old main board match the new main? these have to be a complete match, also on the plug that goes to the T.con these board some times have more pins on the board then on the plug and needs to be fitted the same as the old one? so check these thing and reply Flocko

[SmartestSmarty]

Re: Red light but no power - alba tv please help

Yes the board numbers were exactly the same. No worries I found the issue, I put one of the ribbon cables in upside down. Its all working now

Thanks for all your help.

I have another TV to repair; I'll start another thread for that one and post the link on here also.

I look forward to repairing the next one.

Thanks again
