InFocus ScreenPlay 61" Rear Projection HDTV - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

First thing to do is unplug set for a while and plug back to see if issue cures with a reboot.General info: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 you read the manual the 5 blinks indicates that the bulb needs to be replaced.

Seems like the bulb needs replacing.....

Yes, you have to find and remove the burnt lens. After several hours searching for the lens and by taking apart the tv, I finally found this.Wish I had found it before, would have saved me a TON of time. It shows you where the lens is.

Did you find anything out about this? I have the same problem, just replaced original bulb less than two weeks ago and now have big black spot on screen.

Remove the little plastic lens and throw it away. There is no replacement available anyway. Reassemble the tv and it should work fine. Mine has been good for quite a while now.

contact the people over at www.tvrepairworld.com they should have the part available or can get it they are RCA experts and can usually help repair any issue for any model RCA television.

I'm having the same problem, I called tech support and they told me to hold the reset button for a minute and then try again, I have a universal remote so it doesn't have a reset button, :( So frustrated, any solutions please?

Thats actually a RCA Chassis Do you have troubleshooting experience such as testing voltage supplies? If so let me know and I will assist you with t-shooting the Supply and Run circuits so you can determine if its a power issue from the AC IN board or a defective DM3 unit.Respond to this same post for assistance.

Helo, have you hear frictions ? check color wheel too. Defect color wheel can cause these problem.

The tv projection Lamp inside tv now like 1 1/2 or 2 years already?Tv on and in used every day 4 or 5 hours every day?Yes,this problems,the tv projection Lamp live are ending.Replacement of the tv projection Lamp,tv will work again.

You need to clean the upward facing lens and mirrors( lens cloth)

Tries tv and cables boxes uplug,replug it back like about an hour later for the tv resetting itself back to the factory setting and those pay boxes updated it softwares.Take the HDMI cable plug it in into another tv HDMI hub.Tv should have signal and work again.

Could be as simple as a burned-out lamp, but flashing buttons on the panel mean that it's trying to tell you something's broken, so it might not be just the lamp.
You, sir (mam?), need a manual, or somebody who has one. I do, but it's at home. Perhaps if you responded with how many times the lights flash, I could look it up...

I would change the lamp. And NO, you cannot use any other intensity other than the original.

Hi.

If the screen convergence cannot be fixed using convergence settings, then the convergence ICs must be replaced. The convergence ICs are two power amp chips located in convergence circuit inside TV. Replacement is done de-soldering old ICs and soldering new ones in place, possibly using coolant paste and testing and replace any other component in convergence circuit that is eventually failing .

The repair cost ranges between about $150 and $250. The ICs are not expensive, from $15 to $30 each.

I think that this is the only way it works?
Unless you are experiencing some?, any? other difficulties then perhaps it is best left alone?
I am at a bit of a loss to see what's wrong? apart from that i mean? Have you a picture, sound etc?
Above i include links to reference manual and the user manual for your convenience.

This is the video board of the TV that has failed it would appear. It could be power problems as well though preventing the power board and screen panel from getting enough power to come on. Do you know how to open the TV and test the voltage from the power supply?

Thanks so much, please let me know

Hi.

When TV is in standby, press the Ch up or Ch Down button in the front panel:




If that does not work, then the TV is probably in protect mode because of an internal fault.

Here Manual.

The same thing just happened to me today. I finally disconnected the power cord from my 61md10 for a few minutes, then plugged it back in and turned it on. Not sure how this fixed it, but when I changed the input back to HDMI, the black screen was gone and I was getting a hi def picture again.
