21 Other Users Have The Same Problem - Continued
Comment by Guest, posted on Dec 31, 2008
At first I could not turn the tv back on with the remote unless I punched to power button on it several times. Then after a few weeks, it got worse and when I did manage to get the tv running, it would shut down after about two or three hours and I had to wait for an hour or so before I could get it back on. I tried a new outlet, new electrical strip and replaced batteries in the romote. All to no avail. Anyone got any service manuals or suggestions? Anything would be helpful.

This tv was not even a year old and it will not power up.
Since I purchased the extended warranty we had techs out twice.
Neither one could fix it. So I got my money back, part of it.
Could it possibly be the power supply or the starter switch?

My problem started a month ago but at first the TV just wouldn't turn back on with the remote. i could turn the power button on the back of the TV off and then on and then the remote would work but eventually it started taking multiple tries to of turning the back power button off and on then using the remote. I finally got tired of that and just stopped turning the TV off and instead would only turn the cable box off. Just got back from vacation and the house-sitter turned the TV off via the power button on back of panel and now it won't come on at all. This is ********. Someone needs to know how to fix this.

LCDMAN2000, Do you by chance know the part # or something to order from megmeet?

All of these flat panels TVs with power problems should be sold to customers at there own risk. due to my understanding through akai's web site there is no fix. That is also no fault of ours. thanks akai for thinking of your customer first. Now they're are customers who are not in a rush to spend there money with Akai again. Let's say $.700.00 x 10000 customers= 7 mllions unsatisfied customers. Somebody not getting ah bonus huh!

I have the same problem, worked fine eralier this morning and went I turned it back on around lunch time It appeared to have no power.
Could not get it going on the side panel or by using the remote. The outlet were the TV is plugged in works fine. I call the 1800 number for technical support but there was nothing they could do, gave me the number of a contact person in the area.

I have a Philips Magnavox that will not work. I changed the batteries; I still get the red light appearing when I press buttons on the remote control. What shall I do? I would appreciate your suggestions to resolve this problem.
Thank you, coach14232004@yahoo.com

My tv won't turn on until you repeadtedly press the on button. At fist it took two or thee time of pushing the on button, but now it takes five to ten minutes to get the green light to stay on turning on the tv.
