20 Most Recent Toshiba TP50F60/61 TV Questions & Answers

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Blinking codes details to many popular brand TVs are given. Surf the site with patience. If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

Flashes of standby light is fault indication. Count it and confirm the number of flashes occurs at one time switch ON. If you wish to get more details about these blinking codes to Toshiba sets, check this link. Pull up older posts there.

If you need to hit the tv my money is on a bad solder joint. Re-flow solder on any suspicious joints.

Check and replace damaged component/s at the horizontal out put section circuit. In most cases, line output transformer is found fault.

Model indicated is a projection set with three picture tubes.Cleaning may help your problem--two ways to do this-with set unplugged remove rear cover and clean the three large black lens you cannot miss--if dusty the picture will be dull and darker--should be done once a year.Peek up inside to the rear and look at the mirror--unless grimy leave it alone.Other way is to remove entire screen unit which if you have not done that entails some danger of damage to the screeen.Try cleaning the lens to see if improvement.

Hi,

If you can't adjust the convergence in all directions for all colours, then you need to replace your convergence ICs (integrated circuits). This can cost $300 - 400 to have the work done professionally, however it is possible to buy a self-repair kit. The kit for your TV can be bought here:

This kit costs $69.99 and includes a step-by-step photo instruction guide and the supplier states: "You do not need to have any prior electronic repair experience to use this kit."

This kit includes everything you need to complete the self repair including details of how to dis-assemble the TV, locate the convergence ICs and adjust the convergence following installation.
De-soldering of the original ICs is required and soldering in of the new ones, however they also provide instructions on soldering and offer email, phone or live chat support to assist you in completing the repair.

Many people have bought these kits and fitted them sucessfully saving themselves several hundred dollars. If you buy one, I would advise a little soldering practice before tackling your TV.

Hope this helps.

This may seem like silly answers but...
1. Be sure the power supply is plugged in all the way and that it is not damaged anywhere on the cord all the way up to the TV.
2. Be sure the Sleep Timer is not activated. You wouldn't believe how many times this is actually the case.
If these end up not the case then it is very possible that the safety circuitry in your TV's board could be going out. The TV is shutting it down due to it finding a problem with the circuitry in the TV. Most of the time people choose to replace the TV with a newer model as it is just cheaper to replace it than to have it repaired. This usually only happens in older TV's although I have seen it in TV's as little as 4 years old.

Hello. Your Toshiba is suffering from old age. Let me explain. The circuit boards in all electronic equipment relies on solder. Years ago, solder was 50% lead. Today, for safety reasons and due to legislation, that lead content has been drastically reduced. The primary result is that modern circuit boards have a much shorter life expectancy than the old ones did. Your TV, as you describe, went through the aging process gradually and has now "kicked" the proverbial bucket for all intents and purposes. Repairing all of that deteriorated circuitry would be prohibitive cost wise. Start shopping around for a replacement. The new ones are better, cheaper and digital! Joe

Count the number of blinks and that is an error code to allow you to diagnose a problem with the TV. Once you are sure about the error code, re-post here asking for what the error code means and how to fix it. Make sure you post the make, model of TV. I hope this helps and good luck!

it is replaceable but dont know where you can find it dont know where you live, sorry ( go to a near tv repair shop ) they shoul help you

The tuner is likley bad. Use a vcr to change channels if one is available and set the TV always to video input or channel 3.

Any malfunction associated with a flashing light usually indicates a circuit problem or defective component. Unfortunately, the days of taking off the back cover of your TV and replacing a defective tube or fuse are long gone. Proper servicing will require troubleshooting procedures that can only be performed by a qualified electronic repair facility or professional television repair person. Ask for an estimate and a realistic appraisal of whether the set can be adequately fixed. Depending on the age and condition of your TV it may not be cost effective to repair.

the problem is in your color circuit and power supply make checks in those areas check the power supply regulator, diodes, cap ,and resistors.in the color circuit replace your color ic.then you can do resoldering of the components in the those same circuit,this will contain your problem good luck.

Muddy,No,The Problem lay in the Power Supply Delection of your Set Please summit me a Model #

it would intermittedly display a bowed rainbow effect and the picture would jump to that/black/back into focus. it was nothing but due to change of place due to decaussing ckt to take care of magnetic effect of earth. this morning i turned it on with a black screen. It has audio but no video. your problem it sounds me that it is due to loose contact or loose connector or due to video ckt. as you said that sudio is ok. if you are not tech person call skilled tech to fix it .it is not a major problem. hope this will help you please let me know what happened.

kat change the speaker maybe its busted

m8 try the tech guys at this site they should be able to find you the part as long as you can provide the seriel no. ect an they should do you a nice price. tell them i told you bout them.i do alot of bussiness threw them so leme know if they look after you m8. http://www.mobilephoneservicecentre.co.uk/
