20 Most Recent Audiovox FPE3000 30 in. HD-Ready LCD Television Questions & Answers

Hi- I have brand new one in the box- call 978-374-9877
Ask for Tommy or Andy- We are one of the largest tv repair depots in the US-

Try to find out who really makes Audiovox alot of time a big company like maybe sony or rca or such may make a tv like that and try there codes as well

Check this link to see if they have a power supply for your TV.

check with the guys at www.tvcircuitboards.com they should be able to get one if they dont already have one.

Unplug the tv about an hour.Go in the menu reset the sound back to factory setting.Should work, if nothing wrong with ur Tuner signal board.

Had same problem. Found brand new power supply that is original part from website below:

It was about $100 w/ shipping. Took about 4 days to receive. TV works again!!

Either the back light (a fluorescent) has failed or the inverter that furnishes high voltage for the tube. I'm pasting my suggested procedure below-
If it is affecting video only, the display's fluorescent back light or the power supply for it (inverter) is probably at fault and without some technical background and a couple of test instruments, you will not be able to do the repair yourself.
What you can do though is; unplug the set, let it stand overnight or at least several hours, remove the back panel and look for a smaller separate board with some larger components on it; it will have ferrite core transformer(s) on it and some medium-size capacitors which are cylindrical and mounted vertically to the board.

Before touching anything inside, especially on either board, allow several hours to be safe since the larger capacitors in the main power supply can hold a painful voltage charge for some hours.

The section most likely to fail and cause your problem will be one that you see associated more with the display than the incoming AC line; the latter is the main power supply and its failure would result in no sound or video.

If you see signs of overheating such as discoloration of the board material, it may not be repairable but if you can find a part number on the board, you might be able to buy the power supply from the manufacturer and install it yourself.
They are typically connected with non-interchangeable connectors.

If there are no signs of heat damage to the board, there may be companies offering to repair it as a subassembly instead of repairing the whole set which could be much more expensive.
If you choose to replace or have it done, the power supply still may not be at fault since a failure of the fluorescent, while likely to be less common, is the second possibility.

Open up the back of the set and follow the power cord feeding the TV, it should be connected to the circuit board which will be the power supply module.
Look at the power supply first; look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

Please post back what you find

It appears like the 5VDC is low from the power supply adapter. This voltage becomes low due to defective capacitors inside the power supply.
Check the link below for more info.

you should be able to find a universal mount at Best Buy or thry a place installs home theaters

There are two places to look for the problems, the backlight inverter board and the power supply. Look at the power supply first since it is easier to get to, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

The right speaker is not tighly connected. Check for
loose connection at the terminals, that causes to oscillate (high noise)

These power supplies are not longer being manufactured or hard to locate.
I could repair it for you if you are not able to DIY.

Did you replace the fuse with the same rating? some other component- possibly a capacitor may have caused your problem-either way your 5v stnby light now goes off and still no power to the tv its your power supply- was the tv still plugged into the wall when you replaced the fuse?

if it was manufactured before 2007/8 then probably not- good way to check is to run an auto scan in the set up mode- if the tuner is digital it will find the 7-1 7-2 etc digital channels that have been placed in between the analog stations

First check to see if you have your 5v standy - a red or other color light should be lit on the front of the tv- also check to see if you can hear a clicking noise -comes from the relay on the main powersupply- listen as you press the power on button-if its totally dead- check your power supply fuse 1- usually a 3.2 a 125v- depends on power supply if its no good- some other component on the board may have caused it- either way need another power board

I would say backlight inverter board or power supply. When it goes off, shine a light at the lcd and check if you can still see the image. If you can then it's the backlight, if you can't then it's something else like the power supply.
