    I have a similar problem with the same tv....FLX3710....i plugged mine into my computer via VGA and it slowly died over the course of a day. The first time i turned it off, with the VGA plug still attached, it would not turn on again until I had removed the vga and power cord, let it reset, then reattached power. Finally, now, it is dead, just a red-light. I gather this is a common problem, but I haven't seen the solution posted anywhere. I changed all the caps on the power supply, even though they tested fine - what else can it be? I am not sure where the fuse is on this, I don't see one on the power supply board, but maybe I am missing the obvious? What is the location and role of the regulating transistor? thanks for your help

Power supply problem of course...set is not dead so line fuse would be good as you said...regulating power supplies are very stable but do contain >>>CAPs<<< caps can leak ,swell do to heat ,etc.
check for visible signs of damage to caps. on circuit board...check regulating transistor( on heat sink)
the >>> on off on off routine<<< makes me think check caps!!!!!

Connecting computer to Element flx-3211b via HDMI not working

I had the same issue with this TV in my hotel room. I set the FLX3211B TV up as an extension of my laptop, but had to change the refresh rate from the default 58p Hz to 60p Hz for the digital TV display. Once I did this, it came right up.

the transformer for the backlight is usually what fails on the elements especially if the logo comes up briefly then the screen goes out. I would check the transformers.

Element flx 2210 does not power up automatic after pressing the power buttin

You have classic symptoms of a failing power supply board. As others have stated this is caused by the filter capacitors on the power board. This model uses the 200-000-xxxxtltx power supply which is the same one found in the Polaroid TLS-01911c TVs. Here is a link to a repair guide that shows what to look for and replace on this board to get you TV back up and running again.

As others have stated your problem is most likely caused by bad capacitors on the power supply board. This power supply board is the 200-000-xxxxtltx and is the same board used in the Polaroid TLA-01911 TVs. Here is a repair guide that shows what capacitors to look for and replace on this board to rebuild it. This is much less than buying a new board even if you could find one for sale.

When I tried to hook my FLX 3210 up to my computer it failed to turn on at all. I used this same LCD T.V. with my old Acer Computer and had no problems at all.

you may be having a power supply failure. i have seen many problems with capacitors on the power board in those models. are there any lights on the front when it doesnt turn on? if it were a power supply problem then you would maybe get a red light or blue light come on then go back off,

Element flx-3210 lcd tv

I have an element lcdtv 32inch. The tv is less than a year old, i was watching the tv and it just shut off. The red light is on, when i go to power it up, the blue light comes on for a second then blinks, and goes back to red. I know its not a brand name tv, but for 600 bucks, it should last for more than 8 months. Anyone have any advice ?
