Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here.

SOURCE: 32 in Magnavox tv model 32MF231D/37

An earlier post of the smaller model of this with the same problem said to remove the metal cover over the power supply.

I have the 26MF231D and it worked great afterward (even though you can't mount it)

Here is how you remove the cover.

SOURCE: Which Replacement Power Board for LNT4665F Samsung LCD TV?

Howdy,
It would be a lot cheaper if you just replace the two caps that have gone bad. Just get a cheap solder pencil from the store and about an inch of solder and you are in business.
The Power Supply Board is the center Board (towards left) after you remove the back off the TV. Remove Board from TV with the 6-7 screws. Replace capacitors CM852 & CM853; 2200ufd 25volts.

Thaks for using FIXYA, BIG IRISH.

SOURCE: I have a LCD TV NS-LCD37. I replace the TV Main

As in the first place I thin when the set was opened for solving the sound problem and reassembled the whole set worked with a difference.
To me it looks as though you need to recheck and redo the first job once again . Please have the power lines taken off and the charge in the main power supply section discharged.
Now look at all the connectors , the drivers, the possible heating areas. there is a high possibility that bad connections , loose connections or DRY solder joints are a possible issue. Use a good light to look into the circuits and the connections. Unless you can probe with a voltage /signal test, replacement of the whole board is not a solution as to the cost.
Since you have the two boards a cross check on the components can be done. Please check power to the processor section, check the oscillations on the crystal to confirm the working of the processor, and finally the drivers of the different stages.

SOURCE: I tried to register my new Element Electonics 40" Model - ELDFT406. Says model # doesn't exist ? Also having trouble getting the tint setting.

so you shouldn\'t bother too much with it. I have the same model and it shuts itself off whenever it chooses to. I\'ve only had it since the 23rd of November, and it shut itself off after 2 days and maybe being on only 6 hours in those two days. It shut off the other day after 40 minutes. Read the reviews on Target\'s site, most people have issues.

On Facebook, the manufacturer said they would be adding this model to their site within a week, and that was around the 26th of November that they said that and it\'s still not on their site yet. I got mine at Target and I have 90 days to return it, so I\'m going to wait until TVs go on sale around the beginning of Feb and return it.

I have a element model no ELDFT406 and my screen is showing picture but 1 half is darker than other can you tell me what the problem could be

First, I'm not an ELEMENT TV tech. But I do have a background in electronics.
* I checked youtube for "ELDFT406 tv" and there seems to be a lot of problems with this set. Looks like your LED back lite is not working. This can be repaired but as it come outside the USA and may not have a repair center in your area. I suggest returning it for refund or replacement. Though I would prefer a cash out and get another brand.

Replaced control board on my Element ELDFT406 43" now picture is upside down. Please help I've been thru menu with no success.

Select source on your remote and enter 7343 that brings up the factory menu. Go down to other setting , the setting "scaler output" should be set to "Normal". This setting flips the display. Thats all that there is to it, this is really common for this to happen when replacing the main menu in any brand Funai TV

Have a element 40 inch model number ELDFT406 screen dark or dim on left side

Two things to check. The T- Con board and the back light strips. The T-con board can cause dimming on parts of the screen. A bad section of back light LEDS can do it also.

Tv shuts off during set up just goes bland

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.
http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/
To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

Eldft406 tv is popping and no sound is coming out.

What is popping? Do you hear popping from the speakers or the back of the TV? You could have a serious issue on the power supply of the TV making this sound. Below is a link to the power supply for that TV.

Eldft406 HD Digital LCD TV.Just got it and the sound goes in and out.

I have this same one and it shuts itself off at random, one time after only being on for 40 minutes. It started within 2 days of it being set up and it was maybe used for 6 hours total when it first shut off. The remote hardly works too. Other people have the same problems with this TV, read the reviews of it on Target\'s site. I got mine at Target so I have 90 days to return it and I\'m waiting until around the beginning of Feb. when HDTVs go on sale again. I suggest you just return it,. You can\'t even find it on the manufacturer\'s website.
