Re: akai lct3285ta power on issue

Hey there craigc15, did you ever discover the solution to your issue regarding the remote not working for several minutes after turn on. I am having the same problem.

The TV turns on but takes 3 minutes 20 seconds to get the blue screen (repeatable time). The screen says ‘no signal'. It takes an additional 4 minutes to respond to any side panel or remote control commands. After that the TV works well, but if the power is turned off the sequence repeats. It loses all programmed channel memory and need to repeat the channel scan process.
I have replaced many of the electrolytic capacitors on the power supply module. I identified bad ones with an ESR meter. I also checked values on bulged capacitors and replaced them as well. The problem still was there...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, I've been an Electronics Technician for 30 years but am not in the consumer electronics repair business. I usually end up with everyone's throw aways and have a ton of CRT's to back it up. I find that the newer sets are easier to lift but have 'different' problems than the old ones. What is going on with these bad capacitors?? I've been working on an ILO throw away and have replaced more than 50 so far and still have not ironed out all the problems. I look forward to reading, learning and hopefully helping someone down...
