Maxent 55 in tv flickering - Televison & Video

Noah, Cracked solder joint, inspect with magnifier.

I had the same problem with my 50 inch Maxent, found a solution on the internet that seemed too good to be true, but I replaced a part that cost me $1.38 at Radio Shack and my tv is as good as new. Go to this link for details and even includes pictures. All you need is a scredriver (to remove back cover) and a soldering iron - repair is actually very easy. Good Luck!

Time to put that old TV out of its misery. They are not worth trying to fix, especially when you can purchase a new and far superior TV for $500.

i had the similar problem. i'm not a tech but like to take stuff apart to find the problem. on my tv i took the back completely off. do not touch the boards. if you follow the power supply from the plug up two boards i found a small white adjustment screw. it was just up and to the right slightly from the plug. with a small screw driver i turned it slightly to the right and the flickering and delayed picture went away. couldn't tell you why it worked but it did. hope this helps, saved us $800 to buy a new tv.

Maxent ,mx 26 x3 turns on for 5sc.( all white) then picture flickers and screen goes black.. green light on throughout..none of button on the remote or the tv will work expect the power .i wonder is their a way to reset the tv?

Are you sure that its the main A/Vboard coz it sounds like the main power supply issue to me. Anyways the mainboard is the large board usually located at the center of the tv. If you can remove the back cover of the tv and get me a high res picture of the tv I can mark the board for you.

you need to have a licenced repair tech come look at it sounds like the inverter is going out its kinda likea ballast for florecent lights

the code is 0206
Press and hold setup till light stays on
press TV button
enter 0206
press channel up
you are done

If it flickers on start up it will only get worse. Mine got were it took over 3 hours to settle down, and never would stop flickering with DVD'S. Solution for mine: Replace bad capaciator on input circuit board, I found it by using a heat gun to speed up coming on process, Cost me 62 cents to replace the capaciator my self.

what would cause this and is it worth to fix
