Despate to fix Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
My daily TV broke so I am at the Polaroid (TLA04011C) again, with fervor. Can someone (budm ???) answer a couple quick questions?
1. In a nutshell, if there is zero volts (actually, .54 vdc) on CN2,3, and 4, and zero volts across 30 connector, the power supply is broken, yes? FYI; Vsb is 4.95 volts.

How prophetic of me. My old Sanyo CRT television broke down at 10:35pm tonight; 13 hours after posting that it was on its last breath. I was watching it, then suddenly the picture went all spastic. I'm sure this is a simpler problem to diagnose. Check out a clip:

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
Unfortunately, I am dirt poor, disabled, screwed by the government, unemployed, with no hope of improved financial resources. Fixing this one (I got for free from a neighbor) is the only option, as I will never have the opportunity to buy one. And my old CRT is pretty much spent; even though I keep patching it up, the tube is on it's last breath. I'm starting to doubt I'll be able to fix the Polaroid, but I haven't given up yet. After all, I had it working (although only for for two hours), so I keep thinking it's some small issue...Leave a comment:

I've been back peddling to see what info I may have missed, and have to thank budm for the tip regarding GFI protection. I will most definitely set up such a circuit before further testing.Leave a comment:

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
While appreciate your time regarding the schematics I've been looking for, I must say the copy you gave me is the same as the one I have. The problem is that, while the text and photos in the first half of the document are perfect, once you get to the schematics themselves, they are illegible. I think I have attached an example that shows the problem. I've searched everywhere for a copy that does not look like this. Sorry to waste your time. If anyone else out there thinks they can help......thanks again....Leave a comment:

If anybody has any schematics for this Polaroid TV, I'd be grateful. I'm trying to determine which board is malfunctioning, and more specifically, which component/s on said board to replace. I really want to fix this TV for little-to-no cost. Thanks.Leave a comment:

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
I had the TV operational for two full hours after making some repairs. Then it shut down. The cats allegedly pissed on it months before I received the unit. So, I'm assuming the problem it has now is new, and not related to the cat incident. I do have some numbers handy:
Model: TLA-04011C
Serial: GR7B0215550011498
Man. Date: 7/2007
Power Supply: 860-AZ0-JK371H
V. Reg: A6252M
Top Board
LCD Control Module or Timing Control (Tcon)

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
I guess budm forgot about me. Please; if anyone can offer me a legible schematic for this TV, please, please do. I've spent many, many hours searching the internet, from Milan to Minsk, and can't find one that's not so blurry as to be unreadable. Polaroid TLA-04011C; or that for a TLXB-4011, or TLXB-4241 allegedly works as well.Leave a comment:

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
But it was in fact working, if only for two hours, months after it had been pissed on. And, again, I don't know that the TV wasn't broken before the kitties did their business. If they were the cause of whatever problems the set has, it seems logical that I wouldn't have been able to make it work at all.Leave a comment:

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
I think these are the photos you want. I checked for voltage at pin Vsb onCN3, and got 4.95 VDC. I also got that reading on the corresponding pin on the main board. This was done with the TV plugged in, but without turning on the power button....Leave a comment:

Re: Polaroid TLA-04011c Red Light on, no power on
I thought I was going to be able to do better (the camera I have at my disposal is apparantly not as advanced as I had hoped), but let's see how they look online.
History:
I got the TV from a neighbor, who got it from a neighbor. It allegedly got pissed on by the first owner's cat. Whether it was broken before the pee letting, I am not sure. I brought it home and opened it before powering it, so as to minimize further damage. I found terrible corrosion aound the right side power button bar, and...Last edited by kfhaggerty; 05-22-2013, 04:25 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: budm's post.
I was unaware you had written requesting photos of the boards. I am such a newbie, I didn't know to check, or that I had a mailbox. I'm not even sure if I should send a private message, or just post here....so I'm doing both. I will set up a rig tomorrow and get some good, detailed shots. I've seen some of the pictures that are offered up, and I will try to do a bit better. I will include the tv's history as I know it as well. Thanks for responding.Leave a comment:

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
My name is Ken, and I'm a newbie here at badcaps.net. I found the site recently while researching repair options for a Polaroid TLA-04011C. I don't subscribe to forums as a general rule, but found that the posters here seem to be serious, and informed. So, I hooked up. If anybody wishes to offer any insight to my TV endeavor, I would be grateful. i am particularly interested to find out if member "ryr0909" was ever able to fix his, as he and others were working on a project just like mine. I should mention that I don't...Last edited by kfhaggerty; 05-09-2013, 06:47 PM. Reason: Forgot to mention...I really need a schematic gratis, if anyone can help...please.Leave a comment:
