I purchased a 46 inch sanyo lcd tv in January and today when Iw went to turn it on it flashes on and off quickly and continuously.

Hi Morris

Am suspecting your electric or power supply.
I need you to try the following steps.
1. unplug all your units or appliances
2. Reset your circuit breaker
3. try to plug your tv only and turn it On, if its turn On, then your tv is Ok
4. You mention window unit, is this aircondition window type?
Now try to plug this window unit and turn it On, if electricity went out again, then the problem is in your circuit breaker.

It could be the specs or rating of your circuit breaker does not much with the rating of your window unit.

Hi,you need to have the capacitors in the powersupply replaced

Sounds like you either have a faulty LCD panel tab, failed LCD driver board, LCD/t-con panel bad connection, or a bad t-con. You will need to get a diagnoses to be sure.

If your Tv is in warranty or you have a cover plan, you need to return the Tv for repair or replacement.Your Tv sounds like it has a power supply fault.

I have the same problem, my television is faded black on the left side with lines on the left top side. I have had the 46 inch unit for 1 year and 7 months. I am planning to write a demand letter to Sanyo and then taking them to small claims court woth evidence that this is a common problem with their units that they know about and is not trying to remedy. Also the Attorney general in Texas should have an interest in them (Walmart and Sanyo) selling these defective proucts in the state.

If you are seeing light then the back light is working. Can you get a menu?Do any of the other video inputs work? If no video but has backlight and no men or any on screen display replace main board.

this is a serious problem which must be corrected by a professional .you can't do that by your self

I went through all the Sanyo TV codes and then started entering in groups of 10. The U-verse offered 1103 i did 1100 to 1110 and it worked with 1107. Unfortunately at&T said you have to check the manufacturer which doesn't list universal codes. I was lucky on the Sanyo 18.5" LCD from Walmart using 1107!

It is always irritating when a TV stops working. Most likely it is a board failure. The service tech should be able to service this by swapping out the failed board(s).

is this a lcd projection or just tube projection
