Re: Emerson LF401EM5 won't turn on; red standby light stays on.

So the mobo I ordered came in and ended up being slightly different part number (listing title was wrong). I installed anyways and everything is working now!

Thank you all for your assistance.

Last question: should I do a software upgrade on this TV? I have this feeling like it is delicate now and I'd hate to do anything that would damage it again.

Re: Emerson LF401EM5 won't turn on; red standby light stays on.



Thank you. I will order and update after I install. Please inform me of any precautions I should take before attempting.

I appreciate how responsive this forum is....

Also, I found an eBay seller with the same board "BA4AT0G0201 3" out of a TV with broken screen for sale at $20. Would it be worth me doing that over replacing the EEPROM for $15? That route would only involve screwing it on and inserting cables, correct?

I'm sorry, could you dumb these comments down/explain a little as to what has occurred?

Also, I looked at the link for that "EEPROM". I see something near the CPU(?) that looks similar- how does it get installed/replaced and what is it's function? I'm assuming soldering, which I have zero experience/tools for. Maybe I could find a friend, though, if necessary?

If a failed firmware happened, is there a way to manipulate the TV with something from a USB drive?...

I have attached a photo of each board for your review.

Thanks again....

Good evening- I have a TV that suddenly will not power on. Emerson LF401EM5. I have done quite a bit of internet research on the issue to no avail, so I turn to you all for guidance. The TV was purchased about 10 months ago and we don't have reciept (only "proof" of purchase on bank statement unfortunately).

Essentially, I have red standby light on when the TV is plugged in. The remote power button nor the button on the TV will power on the TV.

That red light does not flash. It also stays on about 10 seconds after unplugged, if that information is helpful....

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey there- found this site likely for the same reason many others do...having TV issues that I can't diagnose! I'm hoping the other reason people find this site is to HELP those with issues ;-)

Thanks!
