My 26" lcd television FLM-2601 polaroid is not working it constantly stays in standby mode you push power button and blue light flicks on then goes right back into standby mode how do i fix this?

This happens all the time with Lcd power supplies. You have bulged ( bad ) capacitors on the power supply board.

You need to check the power supply module first:

A common problem with this television is the power unit. Some of the capacitors go out on them within 2 years. You can buy a replacement power unit for about $150 or if you know how to use a soldering gun you can purchase the capacitors for about $5 and fix the unit yourself.

I just fixed my Polaroid 3732 and it cost me $3.49. I would push the power button and the standby light would come on but the picture would not appear. After I changed the capacitors it starts right up.

Power supply board is dead.Replaced the power supply board.Tries websites Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Pretty good chance the power supply board is bad. A number of capacitors will become leaky and you lose all power. Some techs still know how to do component Laval service but most just change the board $$$$

Hi,

We have the same problem and what worked for us (until now) is holding it in until it comes on. Used to be just a few minutes but now I prop a book next to it. Last time, I just left it on with a screen saver on my PC which worked until the power went out. I think it's a power supply issue.

my polaroid model #3200  does'nt come on!  the light goes from red to blue and nothing,the picture stays black with no flashing or flickering

The Flm2601 is plagued with a poorly designed SMPS and needs to be replaced... The ONLY outlet selling those is Fox International and the PS model number is #MLT166A... I do have the manual for that PS but it won't do much good - it usually buldges several 16v caps when it goes then goes into a domino failure...
Good news is the supplies aren't expensive, I think the last one I bought was around $70.00 dollars and it's a plug and play.
