Re: Toshiba 55TL515U - 3 Green Blinks But No Picture Or Response

Ok, thanks for the info. Do you know if the 3 blink, pause, 3 blink is an error code of sorts?
I suppose I could take it to a TV repair place, but that TV looks bigger laying down than it did standing up - I'm not sure it will fit in my car - haha.

Thank you 'nomoresonys' - I measured the rest and updated the chart on the post above.

Re: Toshiba 55TL515U - 3 Green Blinks But No Picture Or Response

Hello everyone,

Ok, I powered up the TV, but I can't see a picture of any kind, with or without a flashlight, nor pressing/tapping on the screen.

I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but almost immediately after I plugged it in, there was a click. Then, after I hit the power on button, another two clicks. The green power light just did it's 3 blinks, pause, 3 more blinks and then solid on.

I looked at the 3 caps as Lotas suggested. They look ok to me and here's a pic - ...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I didn't get any time to work on it any more today, but I should get some time tomorrow. I'll report back with my findings.

Hello guys, (and/or gals)

Ok, I got the rear panel of the TV removed and took pictures of the 3 boards that I see. I hope I'm adding the pictures correctly, so please let me know if I need to change how I'm attaching them. For some reason, most are showing up 90° out of rotation, but when I click on them, they are corrected. Not sure what I did wrong?

I don't know too much of what I'm looking at, but I don't see any burned or strange features and all the capacitors appear to be 'bulge free'....

Thanks for the helpful starting info guys. I'm going to try to get started on it during the week, since tomorrow is Mother's day.

Hello everyone. My name is Howard and I have an older Toshiba (55TL515U) that decided not to work anymore and I'd really like to bring it back to life. This one was kind of special in that it has 3d capability with passive glasses - kinda neat but more of a party trick. Anyway, while I'm fairly mechanical, and have assembled several computers (motherboards, sound and video cards, etc) I am not experienced in TV repair, but I'd like to try to diagnose what went wrong and hopefully repair it.

For starters, can anyone provide some guidance as to a step-by-step approach to diagnose...
