Polaroid 32" P32LED13 LED TV Stuck in stand-by loop ?

[safesurfer65]

Hi

Got a Polaroid 32" P32LED13 LED TV that seems to be stuck in a loop.
Plug it in and stand-by light flashes 7 times, the backlight comes on then a message comes up saying "TV switched to stand-by mode automatically because no operation was made for a long time" then the backlight goes off then the 7 red flashing light loop..... Remote seems to be working but has no effect.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Mark

Not one of the most useful pictures? its the inside we need to see.
Tried with different signal sources.

Attached a couple of pics from the inside.
Tried a couple of different inputs with no joy.

I measure the voltages going from the psu to the main board.

Top of board

Pin 1. 12.3v
Pin 2. 0.3v
Pin 3. 3.3v (off) 1.6v (on)
Pin 4. 0v (off) 5v (on)
Pin 5. 0.04v
Pin 6. 24v

Thanks

Such a message is displayed if the TV powers up after timing out.
It is possible the NVRAM is corrupted and it has set the off timer to a very short time.
Perhaps you can try flashing the firmware if you can get a copy, this will usually reset it.
Or try quickly entering menu-4-7-2-5 this may be quick enough that the off timer does not take effect.
