your t-con board is failing , but first check the connections on it the board is located at the top middle of your lcd panel and has usually 3 connectors on it cardful the connector break easy

sounds like the main digital board is failing
yiu will need a tech to replace it

your sistem(DRTV) might be old and it does not regonnizze the new tv, or your tv is so new it has no codes for it, i had the same problem had to get a new remote that work with both, but some times the new remote will not work on the old stuff, thats a drag, keep trying and go to your manual and try inputing the codes it had or call up drtv and tell them your unit is not compatible with your tv maybe as your a customer they will send you a brand spanking new unit, that may be compatible with your tv.
Have funn!

The "Game" or "AV" buttons on a remote usually switches the signal sources from antenna to RCA or AUX IN function. If you have lost your remote, there are many cheap remotes that have the AV or GAME button with the codes for your TV. These codes are normally in the little manual that comes with each remote so be carefule not to throw it away with the packaging. Hope that helps.

is the LCD lit up? something wrong with the inverter to backlit your LCD. thats a common problem. if you dont have the knowledge to repair it. better visit a local service center or your dealer.

The remote instructions that came with your TV will include steps for your remote to search for the right code. This might need several attempts before you hit the right one so please be patient. Cheers!

Usually you need to make the remote search for the right code that will work with your TV. Google you Comcast remote model for instructions and it willl how you the right steps.

check the menu and see if it is on timer.

Try using the search function

use code 991 then keep pressing power then tv on the top of the remote till the tv turns off then press setup if that doesnt work its not available.

there are different codes for the devices that you are using. When you want to insert the code for the tv. > Switch tv on and then switch all the other devices off. Insert code. For digi box > switch on and all other devices off. Insert code for digibox. You must then switch between tv and digi box using the buttons on the top of the remote. Toggle between tv/ digi box.

Have a go with the codes below with the tv and the digibox both on, you never know you might get lucky as these are new codes, if not revert back to 1st solution.

Universal Codes (both should work using these, i think!!!!! try 'em)

002,
008,
155,
198,
227,
231

Here are the codes for the 1st solution.


Good Luck,

1. Turn on your device (i.e. TV).
2. PRESS the button for the device you want to program (TV, VCR, CABLE, AUD, etc.) then RELEASE.
3. PRESS and HOLD the SETUP button until the red LED for the selected device flashes twice, then RELEASE.
4. ENTER the 5 digit code for your brand from the list above.
5. You should receive 2 quick flashes on the LED for the selected device after entering your code.
6. PRESS the POWER button to test the code. (On VCR,LD,and CD players use PLAY)

Most likely, the problem is a defective Main Processor Board. This is the board with the antenna, RCA and HDMI plugs. You cant repair or replace component parts on this board, so dont even try. You must replace the complete board. The TV says Sylvania, but it is a bloody Funia TV. Several years ago this foreign company bought out broke-azzz Sylvania . They are still carrying the Sylvania name since Sylvania was a popular TV name in the 70s. Every electronic company in the USA is now owned by the Chinese, so call Funai and order the part from them. Dont be surprise if they dont have a clue what the heck you asking for. America and all electronics have gone to the puddles. Do you know why? GREED.

You can get it from an online parts store, but it will cost you almost the same (maybe more) than a brand new TV.

If you are programming a universal remote, normally they have a chart with the remote. However the codes are as follows:
0054, 0030, 0020, 0028, 0065, 0096, 0381
also the manual is located here: http://www.sylvaniaconsumerelectronics.com/pdf/manual/LC320SLX.pdf
hope this helps.

I would try leaving the TV unplugged for 30mins so the TV can reset itself.
If that doesn't work, your TV should still be under warranty. I know 95% of come with a 1 year warranty.
The most common problem with Sylvania TVs made by FUNAI, the Backlight Inverter board fails to early in life. ( That's the part that powers the screen)
The Tv can't power up the screen and it turns off automatically. Basically called "Protection Mode" so it protects the other parts inside the TV.

The remote is only programmed with only so many codes. Sadly, It doesn't hold all code for every TV made.
But you can try making the remote search every code stored inside to see if one of them will work.
Here are the instructions form the DIRECTV web site:

You may still find a setup code that works for your device by stepping through the library codes in your remote. The following instructions will help you do this.

StepNSet

• Set the "Mode Switch" to the desired mode such as TV for a Television.
• Press and hold the "Mute" button and the "Select" button until the visible LED blinks twice.
• Enter the code "991" followed by the "device number"
  1. for Televisions
  2. for "AUX 1" devices - VCRs or DVDs
  3. for "AUX 2" devices - Audio
• You can step through the setup codes for this mode by pressing the "Channel Up" key to go forward through the codes or pressing the "Channel Down" key to go back to the previous codes.
• You can try out each code by pressing one or more function keys such as power, volume or digit keys.
• When you've found the setup code that works for your device, press the "Select" key.

Sounds like a bad power supply or a bad power control board/circuit board. This seems to be a bit common with these lcd's.

here are some 3 digit codes that are suppose to work for the sylvania tv's
070,003,052,059,060,063,064,127,160,164,044,056,210,236,238,243,168

Here's one web place I found for you.

If the Sylvania code doesn't work, try Funai and Emerson codes. Same TV company.

Is it under warranty by chance?
What is happening is when you turn on the TV, it's trying to power up the screen at that moment. If it can't power up the screen, it will turn off automatically. This is what they call, "Protection Mode".
All the TVs made by Funai (Emerson and Sylvania) are having the same problem. The Inverter Transformers needed to power up the screen are somewhat low quality and burn out easily. I'm sure of of them burned out.
Your TV, I believe, takes 6 of those things to power the screen. And they are all on one circuit board.

If the TV is not under warranty, then let me know what the board number is on that circuit board. The board inside the TV should have maybe 6 connectors that hook up the screen. I may be able to track down a replacement board for you.
