No lights on, just dead, no red standby light ive changed fuse and its same

I'm a little confused here as without the 5 volt standby voltage the blue light won't come on, the TV will be dead like its not plugged in, are you sure you were on the right pin when you measured that? It almost sounds like your on the PSON or PWR-ON pin.

I see so many here with no sound/nopicture issues:

ISSUES:

1. IF sound main fuse/s are good.
2. If no power or standby check main fuse, standby power supply and any signsof damage you can see---burnt parts etc.
3. almost all these sets the troubleshooting involves checking voltages on the main power board to narrow down theproblem.
4. Be safe and if you do not know what you are doing don't open the set.

Answers to issues:

1. RE:fuses---if a blown fuse is found get a good replacement(not the genericones like Radio Shack). Many fuses are special even aside from amperage--Don'tput a higher rated amperage fuse in the set for any reason.

2. RE: power supply in set: if total dead aside from main fuse the set uses astandby power supply that runs 7/24 and a main supply (some are combined andsome not.

Here aside from checking fuses you want to examine all the filter caps on thepower/standby to see if any are puffed up or buldged up in some fashion--Iattach a photo of a good one---top should be silver metal and PERFECTLY flatand have no brown material coming out on top or bottom.

What happens in the standby area is they use caps with too low a voltage rating(saves money) which causes them to fail in a year or two---the standby runs7/24 and the heat dries out the caps and they fail.

3. Trouble shooting consists of the above and then at some point you have to buyand try a board to see if it fixes it or not.

4. Safety first--no TV set is worth getting injured or even killed over.If set is opened at least look for puffed up and bad caps like in thisphoto.

if set opened look for puffed up caps like these on the power board.

First is the Akai name is owned by Samsung--and here is a general answer:

Red light is shutdown or means only standby light is on.

If total dead best way is to follow the AC voltage from power cord inside the set to see where voltage is lost.

Also , were you having any problems having to turn set on several times to get it on?

Ur power board have dead capacitors.U Know how to solders?Take the tv aparts,check these capacitors in the power board for dead capcitors like puff up or burst open.Replaced these capacitors to get power back.Or buy and replaced the whole reburbish power board at Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com.

If the lamp has been replaced I would think the Lamp ballast would be most likliest followed by the color wheel and then the Digital board. You can get any part needed for your model at www.tvrepairworld.com just leave them a email they respond quickly.

Trouble Ive seen is a cap on the 5 volt line fails due to heat and age that needs to be replaced.

I replaced the fuse in the subwoofer. Solved the problem, without a hitch. Just take the current one out and bring it to an audio/hifi shop. Ask to buy a similar one.

PS. The fuse might look damaged, but then again, it might not. Have the audio/hifi guy test the current fuse, that way you know if that's the problem.
