I also have quite a bit of soldering experience, although its probably been a couple years since I did any micro-soldering of really small PC board components. I have an excellent multimeter and am well versed in its use. Can someone give me some help diagnosing the specific problem. I am therefore looking to fix this one as cheaply as possible. I know this is a low quality TV, but I am currently strapped for cash and can’t afford to buy a new one for a few months. The problem is sometimes the problem has been fixed by replacing the entire power board, sometimes the problem has been fixed by replacing the entire main board and sometimes the problem has been fixed by replacing just the main board EEPROM. I have done some searching and this seems to be a fairly common problem for this TV. After a varying number of attempts, the TV eventually always turns on, but it sometimes takes 15 or 20 minutes. Likewise, the number of times the standby light flashes during this cycle varies greatly. The cycle time for that process to play out is sometimes as short as 10 seconds, but it can also be 3 minutes before the standby light comes back on. There is no consistency in the cycle time from when I initially push the power button until when the standby light re-illuminates solid allowing me another attempt. Once that happens, I can push the power button again for another try. Eventually, the red standby light comes back on. From there, the red stand by light will blink occasionally, but the TV never comes on. I’d say that happens 10-15% of the time.Ĩ5% of the time, this happens: The red standby light goes off when the TV’s physical power button is pushed or the remote control’s power button is pushed. Here is what happens when I hit the TV power button on the remote control OR hit the physical power switch on the back of the TV (the problem is the same regardless of whether I use the remote control or push the TV’s rear power button). After another 2 to 3 seconds, the TV full picture should come on and the red standby light goes off. After about 2 seconds, the standby light should start to blink and the TV backlight should turn on. The red standby light should go off as soon as you power the TV on (either way, by remote control or rear button). When you hit the power button on the remote OR the power switch in the rear of the TV, here is what IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. The standby light in the bottom, middle of the TV is steadily illuminated. Before I attempt to turn the TV on, everything is as it should be. It will usually take 5 to 20 attempts to get the TV to come on. Here is the issue: When I attempt to power the TV on, the TV may turn on, however, more than likely, it will not turn on. The problem may have gotten slightly worse in the past few months, but not much worse. The TV has had a problem for between 9 and 12 months. According to the label plate, the TV was manufactured by Funai.
