It may fix it with a new power supply but personally I'd recycle it...that wasn't a good set when it was new, lots of issues, Ive personally never seen a good Polaroid TV, they should have stuck to cameras as they were great back in the day.

To my knowledge most Polaroid products haven't been made in decades suggesting time for an upgrade. Good luck.

What do you mean by "it has the channels coming up right?

Replace the main board

Obtain your owner's manual and see what that error code means, then follow the manual's recommendations.

Make sure you connected wires right both on player and tv. There are Two ways to connect it. 1. Use 3 wires: white, red, yellow. White and red are for audio and yellow is for video. Yellow need to be connect to yellow port on TV and DVD player 2. 5 wires. Again red and white are for audio. And there is another red plus green and blue. Those 3 are for video and have to be connected to corresponding ports on TV and pkayer. Make sure you don't mix up red wires

I'd shop at Best Buy. If that TV is from 2008, it's done.

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.

Hello, Bloody_dark -Often those who rent DVDs or borrow them from the local public library mishandle them and do not know how to handle them properly.From your question, it seems the DVDs are either scratched or dirty (possibly with food residue.)This website gives step-by-step instructions on how to clean the readable side of a DVD:https://www.wikihow.com/Clean-a-DVDIf, after cleaning, the DVD still is grainy, patchy, skipping, etc., it is probably scratched. What I do when I have a rented or public library DVD which is scratched, I return it with a "sticky note" attached to the DVD box stating it is scratched and that I properly cleaned residue from the readable side of the disc, so that the rental business or the library staff will know that the DVD is damaged and can choose to replace it. There are ways to remove scratches from DVDs, but I do not recommend anyone try those steps if they do not own the DVDs themselves.Note: I am a librarian by profession and have seen firsthand how people mishandle DVDs. I'm from the 45-rpm and 33-rpm vinyl record generation. We learned how to properly handle those vinyl records so as not to scratch them. Bottom line: We were taught to only handle the vinyl records (and subsequent CDs and DVDs) by their outer edges. For CDs and DVDs, they can be held between the thumb and forefinger, along the inside and outside edges.

Its in the inferred sensor board in the TV most likely

my advise is to disconnect the sky box and any other ancillares. and see if the tv works as a normal tv only. if not the tv has a fault.if it now works connect your other ancillaries ie skybox one at a time if the tv gives up then just backtrack what you have just done it may just be a faulty cable

Go into the main menu and or settings and there you will find audio and video adjustment, the button is on the remote control

Set-up (Programming) procedure is too much to type in here, and is not practical and it will differ brand-to-brand remote controls. If you wish to get more; check the sites linked here. The site has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. The site has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order. Set-up code list to many brand remote controls also is given. Pull up older posts. Search the sites by type in the brand name to your device in its search box at the top right part of the display window. It will help you to find the document easily. http://homenol.blogspot.com/ http://remotesearch.blogspot.com/ http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/ Programming Notes • If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to program your remote. • Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may operate only a few functions of your device. There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality. This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device.

See page 12 for CC control Description states that you can change modes by successive pressing the CC button on remote. Also under setup page 23 there is a CC setup screen. Hope this helps? If you are not connect directly to an antenna the CC is likely coming from the source!!! "Remember if the CC is coming from the cable box then the cable box setup controls the CC not the TV" http://polaroidhdtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/UM_32GSR3000.pdf
