The red power signal sign now blinks 2 or 3 times and turns off when I turn it on. Could you help?
Thanks.
My email is [email protected]
Same thing for me. TV just turned off one day and won't come back on. LED flashes red. Someone said it's because a cooling fan went out. If I can't find someone to fix it I'll take it apart and tinker myself. 32" with dvd built in was barely over a year old.
A/V Main Unit Board is bad is what I was told by a Tech, chip under heat shield. No picture but has sound.
AKAI 32" LCS with DVD
Power sully seems faulty
red light is on (sleep mode) but does not turn to green to start TV.
Initially unplugging worked sometimes. But now it just wont start. No support exists from AKAI. They should not be allowed to sell without any after sales service
AKAI LCT 2715
The TV shut off with 30 secs left in my football game. The light blinks red, and there is a hmmm with a pulse through the speakers, but this is before I turn the TV on-its when I turn on the hard power switch. When I turn the switch off the pulse slowly fades. The TV is a year and a half old.
I posted this problem back in February. I started a campaign of harrasment at the Akai support center and worked my way up to a supervisor. I had her email and personal phone number. The independent TV repair places hate Akai as they do not send the replacement parts. They do have parts!. They have a retail parts department with a complete supply, over in the warranty section the shelves are bare. They finally pulled a new motherboard from retain and fixed the unit. I fully expect it to **** out again as I am sure the basic design flaw is still there. By the way the repairman told me this was esentially an LG unit.
AKAI IS SOME ******** SORRY BUT THERE'S NO HELP FOR US...
MINE DID THE SAME, POWER SUPPLY WENT OUT, AKAI HAS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS, TV REPAIR PLACE SAID THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE, COMPLAINT TO AKAI AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO SEND ME A VOUCHER FOR A NEW TV...2 MONTHS AND NOTHING YET???

Can you fix it?
The set picks up the audio but no video. The screen has no raster totally blank. Teasted the leads going to the plasma set by connecting them to a small TV set and everything works fine. It seems that no current or voltage, is getting to the plasma set to illuminate the screen. It was playing when I left the room, and was blank a few moments later when I returned. The model number is the same as another complaint I just read.
PDP 4294. HELP!!!
Purchased AKAI PDP42Z5TA 3 months ago. Have not used very much but worked fine up to a couple of weeks ago. Then after a few hours of viewing the screen would go completely dark but the green light and sound are still on. After shutting down for 30 minutes the tv would reset and work again. Now when the unit is turned on I just get a dark blank screen with green light and sound. Tired all suggested solutions like recycle power and reset. From the number of similar complaints it looks like AKAI is specializing is selling substandard junk.
My akai pdp 4294 has the same problem. now I can't even get sound let alone a picture. I'm assuming it's the power supply but not sure. Anyone know where to get parts?
SAME ISSUE
Same problem here. Sound went out after abt 2 years; then the video went out . Not used to much. The red led is blinkinga few times and nothing. This was a LEMON. I read so many negative abt this AKAY unit. We should sue AKAY !!!

Turned on my Akai plasma tv model pdp4294 only the sound will come on but the plasma remain blank, will not even lit up.
Akai Plasma TV, the screen is blanks but I still hear sound
Had the same thing happen to my AKAI 27 in with built in DVD. First the unit went out after about a year. Took it to repair center and they said the power supply went out. He rebuilt it at $250. Now has went out again after another year. Has sound but no picture think the backlight inverter went out. They are on e-bay at about $90 but not sure it is worth it any more so I bought a new 42 in. STAY AWAY FROM AKAI they are ****.
Mine just did that too, but I can get a green light, but no picture - I have sound - does this sound like a power supply too?
AKAI PLASMA PDP4294
Same problem here.

OK SO HERE'S 1 MORE IN A LONG LIST.
MAKE: AKAI

TYPE: AX42P3
PROBLEM: VIDEO WENT SOUTH EVERYTHING ELSE STILL WITH ME. (everything meaning; audio related, because I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE!!) SO FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING IN THESE FORUMS IS I HAVE A NEW TARGET TO SHOOT AT?
Have had my AKAI 4294 since 2004 and have never ever had a problem, then a few months ago my screen went blank. I still have sound, it still turns off and on and I can change channels, but just no picture. Sure would love to know what to replace in order to get the picture back!!
