Seiki SE39HY03UK won't go past Seiki start up screen?

[Loz2212]

Hi guys,

Just been given this TV for free from a neighbour. They told me it would sometimes load up and sometimes wouldn't. It's just stuck on the Seiki screen.

I took it home, plugged it in and it worked fine all day yesterday.

Come to it this morning and it's back to how it was with them. The seiki logo just stays on the screen and after a while it restarts and does the same again.

Really appreciate any help from you guys.

Thanks.

This is a picture of the back. Not used to these new tv's. Seems like the psu and main board are combined??

Looks like there is an eeprom for this board

It's strange that it is only partially corrupted.. I've had it working twice (last night and this morning until I turned it off then it wouldn't work again). It's just stuck in this boot loop. Can't get a board or eeprom anywhere.. Not really sure what to do next

Not good at troubleshooting integrated boards could be another problem. Did find eeprom: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...1.p83&_sacat=0

It's got the textbook issues with the bootloop, but I'm no expert. That eeprom is for the 32inch model for the same board.. (unless that doesn't matter). I spoke to a TV guy earlier who sells eeprom chips on ebay.. He said the board and screen number both have to match.. Can't vouch for that so bit apprehensive to order. Thanks for the reply

cooling is usually the better option maplin sell electronics freeze spary not cheap but is good or poundland air duster works (hold can upside down) dosnt get as cold as proper spray but does the job usually regarding heating the eeprom some people have luck and some dont but hey worth a try.

If it takes quite a while to come on then works, it may be a weak/bad capacitor, usually located on powerboard.
