Olevia tv won't power on - Olevia LT42HVi 42 in. LCD Television

Start with having the power supply capacitors checked, common problem on older Olevia sets!

problem with keyboard on set front or side===likely defective switches under the plastic buttons.

Replace the power regulator board as card basis. Its oscillator IC has been damaged. It can't be replacale.

My Olevia 42" television is several years old. In March of 2012, the infamous "TV will not power on" problem started.

The blue LED light on the front of the TV would go off for a split second, then light up again. The television would not start.

If you are handy with small tools and a soldering iron, you can change the capacitors on the power supply. My Olevia is a model 542-B11.

I bought the repair kit off eBay from seller: sghill99

As of this writing, the seller has sold 37 of these kits. The title of the auction is: Repair Kit, Olevia 542-B11, LCD TV, Capacitors

I made the repairs in March 2012 and it is now August 2012 and the television is still working great. It is turned on and off several times every day.

Hello,
Power supply board have problems,just not dead yet.Replaced the power supply board,will solved this problems.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.


Hope this helps in solving the problem.....

I just repaired this identical problem on the same model TV. You have a bad power supply (also known as an SMPS). The board is model FSP271-4F02, and is about $75. Unlike the main board for this TV, you can find the power board relatively easily. Try shopjimmy, for example. Replacing the board isn't too difficult if you have a reasonable mechanical ability, have some tools, and are careful.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Relative to Olevia TV Power Supply Problems Solution provided by: kb8tez Matt, the problem he had was Electrolytic Capacitor CS21. Upon careful examination of the Power Supply Circuit Board I find that CS21 is in parallel with CS22. Simply replacing BOTH Capacitors makes for a more permanent fix. Radio Shack P/N 272-1032 1000UF 35V Capacitors @ $1.59 each plus tax makes a very inexpensive repair. Apparently the same power supply circuit board is common to many different Olevia Models.
