Question about Toshiba 50H81 50" Rear Projection Television
This afternoon, I discovered that my Toshiba 50H81 has a problem. When I power the tv on, the red power light simply blinks. I called Toshiba and the friendly person who answered the phone told me that I needed service. Their assistance was overwhelming. (sarcasm alert) I contacted two local repair shops. The first estimated, over the phone, that the repair will most likely cost $350-450. The second shop was not very helpful and warned they might not be able to get parts because the tv is y yeras old. I searched the Net and found similar problems. Several people reported IC convergence issues and blown fuses. I took the back of the set and quickly realized this is something I cant fix myself. I welcome any feedback or suggestions. Is it worth fixing such a 7 year old tv?
It is in stand by mode, chech your settings...all of them return them to mfg default then go from there

Mine is Toshiba 55 TZ, have it since 98', shutdown and red light blinking problem, search the net and found out, generally a Convergence IC (stk392-110) problem. bought 2 for $15 at suburban-elect.com (ebay). replaced following direction from http://www.casiasfamily.com/repairlog/tp50h15.html
Open back cover, 9 screws and wirings (pls mark), removed(soldered) a electronic board infront of convergence ic. removed IC (stk392-110) (screwed and soldered).
Replaced everything and voila...! it is now working again..
no more shutsdown and red blinking light. Saves me $400 for a repariman. of course just be careful with static and stuff.
I don't know how to solder, so I ask friend to do it for me. But I did the rest. Just to give you an idea that it can be done even if you don't know much about electronics. This in no way a recommendation but just stating my experience. Follow at own risk.

50h81 no picture and no sound, power light blinks.
My 50H81 is doing the same thing, blinking power light. If I unplug it, it sounds like it is trying to fire up, then nothing but the blinking light.
there are 3 fuses, I checked all via ohm meter with a good reading but still having the LED switch blinking. Any idea. Mine is TP50F60 about 10 years old.
hi, I have the same problem here, red blinking light... purchased mine Nov, 2001, its been a good set up till now. I'd prefer to just fix it rather then going down the route of figuring out what to replace it with.
Same problem as the others. Red blinking light no picture. Have had the TV for 5-6 years. Any ideas or where I can go to get it repaired or what is broken?
we have the same symptoms....red flashing light no picture or sound. Does anyone have a solution?
Same blinking red light. Replaced ic convergance amps and it worked for a day. Blinking back on no pic or sound.
I am having the same problem. I just want to know if it is worth paying to get it fixed, or just getting a new TV.
I have a 55 Inch Toshiba - same issue but has worked for months but you have to unplug and then replug in and it works until the next shut down. Then repeat.
I have a tech coming out this week - any idea on the cost or likely diagnosis.
have a toshiba TP5581A tv turns on and off right away. R439 part on board is melted could this be the problem?
vs50707 set keep shutdown,unplug for 5 munite then plug it back
turn on work ok .some time work for few days no problem,but it keep happen some time?
