All Polaroid flat panel


I have a FLM-3203 32 inch LCD. After reading so many posts on replacing the to 10v caps I decided to do this to mine. After removing the to caps I noticed they were not 10v but 35v. I replaced with the same size and TV works fine! It is not just the FLM-3734B model that has this problem. It is all polaroid flat tv's. I do not believe increasing from a 10v cap to a 25 or 30v cap will increase reliability. I used same size & voltage but increased operating temperture range from 105C - 120C.These high temp caps can be perchased at Newark.com I hope this info helps, any questions send e-mail to prowler21@verizon.net

the capacitor problem is not the only one. if the capacitors are bulged, they I'd recommend trying the fix-- it's not too difficult. The hardest part is doing the de-soldering and re-soldering. Just go slow.

I replaced them both and I still have the same problem-- so there is another issue that causes this TV to not work.

I'm going to take the entire thing apart and see if I can find anything wrong with any other board :(

If I find a solution, I'll post it here!

Can you Help with these Flat Panel Televisions problems?
