Re: Polaroid 3732 had blue light no picture now no power after cap replacement



My thinking to begin with was to push the green stuff down then solder liberally so try and 'glue'/hold it down. I still saw when opening it up again (for the 8th time) that it was up ever so slightly so i just pushed it down with my finger and it seemed to stay down. I remember from my first days of soldering not to let the soldering where the components of legs go through board to cross with the other tracks? Not sure if that's true.

As you can tell I don't specialise...

HOLY MOTHER OF SWEET JESUS

I just clipped those legs and pushed down the little bit of detached fibre glass a bit as it was up by 1mm or 2 and everything seems to be working!! Getting red light n blue light and it turns on to generic blue input screen. Will have to actually use it and come back here if I get more issues.

Wow you guys rule....

Thanks for your quick reply.

Well i pushed it down and then just put a lot of solder on. Maybe some pics can help show what I"ve done wrong etc:

Hey everyone

I had the issue where I got blue light and no picture and/or high pitched sounds. I opened it up and saw 2 bad caps.

Replaced them and now the TV won't turn on at all i.e. no blue light. Seems like it's dead. It's my gf tv and I don't visit often so I can't remember what state it was in before I did work to it i.e. if my soldering messed it up. I will note that some of the dark green circuit board came off the wood, only a small area maybe .5cm but it seems to be down ok and soldered in ok. Is there anyway to try and salvage this shite TV?
