My Proscan 40LD45QC cut off one morning and now everytime I turn it on, the picture comes up for about a second and then it shuts off again. I've tried moving to different plugs and I've tried using a different power cord.

I had a similar problem with my 42 in Philips LCD HDTV.


Here was the problem. My Power Supply Board had several bad capacitors. I opened my TV (warranty was expired of course) and found four bulged capacitors on the PSB. Many major electronics companies Philips/Magnavox, Sony, Panasonic, and others were sold capacitors that failed in 2-5 years instead of 10-20. The capacitors fail prematurely due to a lack of preservatives. Unfortunately, they were installed in all sorts of devices and cause a wide range of failure problems.


Here are some options for you.


1. Have it fixed by a professional $$$$$$$??????? (Is it under warranty?)


2. Open your TV and find PSB. (The board that the power cord plugs into) Check for faulty caps. If you find some (bulged or leaking) bad caps replace the entire board. The entire board costs around $250 right now because they are in high demand right now. They can be found at tv-part.com but supplies are limited. I would definitely shop around though.


3. Remove and then replace individual faulty caps. This takes some soldering skill.

Caps are inexpensive and if you can take care of it yourself it will save you hundreds.


This may be your problem. If you determine that it might be.

I have a Tip/How TO tutorial on this site that may also help. It gives step by step instructions for replacing caps on PSB #715t2432-2. If this is your board you are in luck. Here is the Link: Fixing the Philips Turns/shuts off on its own problem. I'm working on uploading pictures to help guide people though the process as well. Let me know if I can do anything to help.


Hope this helps and if it does please rate it accordingly. Good luck.

Proscan 27" tv

if you want to eliminate magnetism, you have to degauss the screen, if you don't know how to do that, here is a small guide for that: http://www.wikihow.com/Degauss-a-Computer-Monitor

but that strange shutting down its the transistor... so your best choice is to send it to a repairman to change the transistor..
if you try to do that for your self, you could even get shocked with the electricity contained in the tv... even if its turned off and unplugged..

Try another set to see if does the same - if so, then it is your box. If not it is the tv. If still under warranty have it fixed before the no sound becomes permanent.

Desktop PC turns off everytime it is turned on

Ok, let's try to eleimate some things. When it shuts off do you here a click first? This may indicate the hard drive is going bad. How long does it take to shut off if it was the first time in the morning that you turned it on? How long before the second time? Etc? What we're trying to determine here is is this heat related? If so then the power supply or mother board could be the culprit. If you turn it on (first thing in the morning) and immediately go into Safe mode (F8) how long does it take to shut off? If you turn it on (first thing in the morning) and immediately go into BIOS or Setup, how long does it take to shut off? If you press Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer and System. Do you see itms that have a red X through them? Email me back and we'll continue with your results.
