Red starter light does not light up, been told it may be the starter board, could I purchase a replacement board. TV is about 5yrs old, Finlux 22F22FOXTROT. 6030SD

sounds like cap prob on power board look for swolen ones

Fault with its main 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. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ . In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

OK. I have this same issue. I replaced my bulb a month or so ago. TV worked fine. Then one morning I turned it on and it was on for a good while, till it went to a black screen w/ sound only. Lights were going through the reboot process as designed for 8 attempts before it went to the solid red light. From the red light, if I unplug and plug back in, the tv will come on for a given amount of time, which varies, and then cut to the black screen. A repairman told me that it sounds like the digital board is bad. He wanted $150 for the board and $100 labor. I cannot find anywhere where the board would be located or where I can purchase a replacement.

Hi,
You need to replace Y main board & buffer, which will cost you around $600-700. Since the TV is five years it will be better to go with new, and it won't be worth enough to spend $700 for old TV.

Hope this helps.

a) Do you have crank no start? (see entire write up)
b)No crank no start ,No dash lights?, ( battery, battery cables, ignition switch,,starter relay)

If you have symptom A then the affected items are , ignition switch, battery, battery cables, starter, starter relay ,coil, coil pack, ignition module ,Distributor cap ,rotor, (if applicable) spark plugs and wires.


.If the battery iS more than 5yrs old OR COMMING CLOSE TO IT DEPENDING ON ITS CURRENT CONDITION you may want to replace it.
If battery does not pass load test replace it.
Whatever you decide the rest of the items can NOT be checked out without a fully charged battery.
Check ignition switch and starter relay for B+ going to them and leaving them. Check starter circuit. Make sure B+ is making it to starter ( use a digital voltmeter). If B+ (12 volts) is making it to the starter and it doesn't crank then the starter is defective. Verify this by removing the starter and have it bench tested.

Buy a new set - not a Mitsubishi DLP. I've repaired 3 sets at the board level.
Many, many bad capacitors on four boards, 12 hours to repair.
If a tech replaces one board, he is only fixing one of 4 bad boards and the set will soon fail again.

It sounds to me as if it was NOT the DVD's but ya TV was on the way "Out" so to speak, and now it has failed completely, and yes unfortunately this is par-for-the-course. Of course ya couldfind out which exact board it is and try replacement ya self?

Check the fuse on the inverter board and also verify it does have have 12vdc feeding the fuse. Worst case will be the lamps, power supply caps look OK?

try unpluging it and leaving it over night then try again and if not the tv might be stuffed

This set does have a lamp, it utilizes 3 picture tubes (red, green, blue) The tubes are not available as new any longer. It is recommended to replace all 3 after the reaches 5yrs of age because a new tube will over drive the others in brightness but it is possible to only replace the defective one. You can try Tritronics at 800-638-3328 for rebuilds.
