Sounds like a faulty power inverter to me.

If it's covered under warranty, take it back to where you got it and ask them to cover the warranty for you.

If it's not under warranty, take it to a local electronics repair store that deals with TVs. Get a quote from them on the amount to repair it.

If it exceeds a third the amount you paid for the TV in the first place (ie if the TV cost you $1,200 and the bill exceeds $400) you're better off to get a new TV.

your model uses the 270125 flyback if both wires are red. If one is red and the other black then you have the 259296 flyback.

Hello,

The problem with the television is from inside the unit. It actually is a power problem, and the problem is caused by a bad capacitor, it is developing some fault or wearing out so it is malfuntioning.

What you need to do is to unplug the television for about 2hours or more, then open up the television using a screwdriver to unscrew the screws used in covering it, then remove the back cover and you will have direct access to the panels.

Pick up the main panel and power then assess it thoroughly for any bad capacitors, once you detect a capacitor is swollen, looking out of shape or burnt, then it means the capacitor is bad and needs to be replaced.

To replace a bad capacitor, you need to turn to the back of the panel where you have the tip of all the capacitors, then you melt off the bad capacitors tips using a soldering iron, then you fit in a new capacitor with similar capacity into the holes and solder it to the board usind a soldering iron and lead.

You can also replace the power panel if you find too many capacitors worn out on it.

Take care and good luck.

NB: If you are not familiar with such technical activities, i will strongly advice you seek the assistance of a television professional in order for you not to damage any component inside the unit.

Hello,

The issue you describe is consistent with a power supply board issue. This is the board where the AC goes to.

I do not think it needs replacement, rather some defective capacitors are causing this issue.
Open unit up and take a look at the power supply board.You will probably see one or more electrolytic filter capacitors that are bulged up in the top-not perfectly flat like the others.

The value of these capacitors will be different, most likely they will be somewhere around-820 to 2200uF/25 V( or /10V sometimes)

You can replace them with same values but I would recommend the voltage rating to be higher(like 35V for an original 25V) for reliability purposes.

What happens is,these bulged top capacitors will cause a low and unfiltered DC voltage=main board will malfunction(the relay will keep clicking until the caps are holding enough charge to bring the voltage up over a threshold point).

You can buy these capacitors at any Fry's or Radioshack store or you can order them online at vendors like "mcmelectronics.com"(look for electrolytic capacitors).
After replacing these capacitor(capacitors) most likely the normal operation will be restored.

Note: There may be also some other causes for this symptom ,like a defective T con board ,or main board,but the bulged top capacitors are the most common cause for this issue.

If you don't know about TV repairers, take the TV to the nearest repairman to fix the fault for you. Also, note that TV stores a lot of current, so wait a while before opening the TV back cover.

I hope this helps.

Good luck.

I have a Mitsubishi WD 60738 and the stand by light on the front of the tv was staying on and was orange. I removed the power supply and blew out all the dust and reinstalled the power supply and now the...

Hello Jeff;
If the TV does not turn on or off, does not respond to the remote
control or the control panel buttons, or has audio but no video:
1.) Press and hold the POWER button on the control panel for ten seconds. The TV will turn off.
2.) Power on the TV and the green LED will flash quickly for about one minute. The changes you made most recently, before using SYSTEM RESET, may be lost.

If the TV does not respond to the remote control or to the control-panel buttons and TV will not power on or off.
• Unplug the AC power cord for 10 seconds.
• Press and hold the POWER button on the control panel for 10
seconds to perform a system reset.

If the TV turned itself off and the light on the front panel started to flash:
• Momentary power fluctuation can cause the TV to turn off to prevent damage. Wait for the green light to stop flashing and turn the TV on again.
• If the TV does not stay on, press the POWER button on the
control panel for ten seconds to perform a System Reset. If this happens frequently, obtain an AC line power conditioner/surge protector.
• An unusual digital signal may have been received, triggering a
protection circuit. Wait for the light to stop flashing and turn TV
on.

If the TV will not power off, press the POWER button on the control panel for ten seconds to perform a System Reset.

Should you still have problems, call for assistance at 1(800) 332-2119

I would not recommend using compressed air or any other method that would blow dust around- since the dust could make its way into the set's circuitry via the grille or vents and cause problems. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment instead.

How do i program my rca remote to my 42 inch samsaung tv

you can try a code search


  1. Turn on the tv you want to program.
  2. Press and hold both the button for the component along with the power button until the light comes on and stays on.
  3. Press the play button every 5 seconds until the device turns off. A bank of ten codes is being sent each time.
  4. Press the rewind/reverse button to see if it turns off/on again. Wait 2 seconds and press again until it turns back on. You may have to do this up to 10 times until it searches through the bank of ten codes sent.
  5. Press and hold the stop button until the light goes off. This saves the code.

RCA HDTV model#HD52W59. When I turn the power on it stays on for a few seconds and then goes off by itself.

TV turns off unexpectedly
• Sleep timer may have been activated.
• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this
happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.
• Unplug the TV. Wait ten minutes. Then, plug the TV in again.
