Akai LCT3201AD 32 in. LCD Television - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This is a classic switchmode power supply, shutting down to avoid a fire, explosion, or both. This set had developed a problem, that is so severe that the set must be shut down, This set should be removed from the Power, and in my professional recommendation, you should get a "Quote" for repair, from, an Akai, Approved Service Center, this point is very important for a good result, Always contact, their local, "Head Office" Now, when you get the information you want, then you can decide as to repair of replacement. The reason we want an approved agent, is that way, all the engineers are trained on their own brand sets, they have seen almost all faults, and will get the job done quicker, and for less cost, and usually have parts on hand, also sometimes, there has been a service bulletin in issued and the repair may be subsided or even free.

make sure the sleep timer is not activated...
otherwise it may be a powersupply problem that shows up when it gets too hot.

We just repaired ours - same problems (did not replacc the 1000uF and 470uF Capacitors in secondary yet as ours were still OK, but the FET was killed by an arcing capacitor across a diode,
See the page we created for this with pictures.

Be careful - High voltage!

Power Supply board is dead.Tries Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com.Buy a reburbish power Supply board for the replacement.

I recently bought a used LCT2060 that had no remote. I figured my comcast cable remote would work without a problem but it didn't. So 3 universal remotes later I found my solution...a radio shack universal gamer remote. It controls up to 5 components plus your xbox360, playstation and pc. The price on sale was a mere 12.97, not bad if you ask me. Hope this helped. The code that worked for the Akai was 11676. Take care...

I had a power supply issue with my TV too. I was able to repair it. But, during my research I cam across a store which does sale the power supply. The cost is $150 and can be purchase at fox international. Though it it is not listed on the online e-store, you can call and give them your TV model and let them know you are looking for a power supply board The web site is www.fox-international.com. Then click on the e-store link or call
1-800-321-6993.

Sounds like a Power board problem. You will need to have a TV technician look at it.

you dont need a manual just a mount for that size tv try wall mart

turn it totally and then turn it on with the controller them press the turn on button tis may just turn on the tv

You can have more than one manufacturer of power supply for the same TV model, best thing to do is to actually get the printed numbers from the actual power supply to match it correctly.

There are 2 1000uf/16v caps that blow on the board. The second one is under the heat sink nearest the one that is easily seen on the board. You might also have to replace the 220uf/25v caps under the heat sink as well.

If you are electronically inclined, replace the three 1000uf 16v electrolytic capacitors in the power supply board located above the power switch. They are likely bulging out at the top and failed. They are the three in a row at the top - center of the board, located between the two black heat sinks. Make sure you get caps rated for 105c degrees! I recommend replacing them with 1000uf 25v caps. 35v caps will work but might be a tight fit as they are larger diameter.

Should cost you about $8 for the parts shipped. You can get them from partsexpress or digikey or any good local electronics store. Your local radio shack may have them but they won'y be 105c and thus may not last long.

Not handy, ask around, there is usually some electronic tweaker guy around that will install them for a few bucks.

This has solved the turns on / then off problem every time in the 3 I've done.

Have it, mine tv broke and have apart

good way of testing remote is point it at camera on phone( turn on camera first) and look for flashing light when pressing buttons if no light then remote faulty if it flashes then fault might be with re-server in tv

one of the capacitors are going down on mains power board you can tell by looking at them it will be slightly raised they look like little black or brown batteries

if you opened the set up and looked at the power supply you will most likely find a couple capacitors that are swollen and vented
that will need to be replaced

Hi, your TFT tv has a problem on the video section (video card ) the processor is over heating or has  lick age   needs cooling down for it to work well , Technician should improvise  the cooling system of the processor .
I Suggest  a  12 volts fan addition on  the video card processor to cool it .

good luck 

Akai LCT 3285TA (notice the "FIVE") uses the MLT169A Power supply. This is available from shopjimmy.com for about $100.
