Question about Akai PDP4290 42 in. EDTV-Ready Plasma Television

AKAI PDP4273M1 - Unit powers up then shuts down.

The unit powers up, large AKAI in white letters with blue background appears for 1 to 2 seconds, then AV in left corner of screen lights up,
and no video appears in right corner, unit powers down. A few seconds later same sequence takes place until you unplug the tv.
Discovered that if I hold down the sequence button or the menu button the unit will stay on and continue to display AV no signal. If while holding down those buttons I hook a video input up the tv plays however the audio is low.

I just repaired one for the same trouble. The input to the main processor from the standy switch had shorted to groung. This was probably caused by static inserted when pushing the power button. The processor is not a replaceable part. The part number for the main board is E3761-058010-2. It costs between $140 and $150. I found it on-line at Shopjimmy.com.
Good Luck!

My HTC HD 7 phone keeps turning off it goes to the white screen with green HTC then shuts off and keeps doing the same thing over and sometimes when i try to use it and i tap the screen then it shuts off...

I finally had to have them replace the unit. If doing a factory reset does not help, then I would have them replace it. Mine started rebooting infrequently, but then started doing it more often. They didn't waist any time getting my replacement out.
Please make sure you back up all your contacts/email before proceeding. I use Google on my phone through the Outlook option. Google/Outlook syncs all my mail, contacts, and calendar.
RESET: Software: SETTINGS > ABOUT > RESET YOUR PHONE
Hardware: 1) Turn off phone 2) While holding down both the Up/Down Volume buttons, turn unit on 3) Keep holding down the volume buttons until white screen appears 4) Press the Down Volume button to reset to factory defaults. 5) Restart phone

I turn on my nuvi 1300 and get a white screen

Hi famoflu5,

It sounds like you have the "white screen of death" (I made that up) non-responsive screen...meaning you cannot enter data or make the unit respond to finger or sylus presses. There is a procedure for getting the screen back to normal, provided there are no other software or electronic issues.

Try these steps:
1. Turn off the Nuvi.
2. Hold the upper-left of the screen while turning power on.
3. Release the Power button when the Garmin screen appears.
4. Continue to hold the upper-left corner of the screen for 30 seconds, until a white screen with "Press dot" appears.
5. Press dot and that should get you back to normal.

Also, you may to need perform a hard reset for your unit to clear out any erroneous data.

These GPS units can be reset by holding the Power button for 10-15 seconds to completely shut the unit down. Then, do the same procedure for 10-15 seconds again, to power it back on.

It would be best to assure the unit has external power, and hopefully a full battery charge, for best results. Also you can download a complete manual from this link for more info:

http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/3130_OwnersManual.pdf

Starting on page 47 of the manual in the appendix, it tells you about calibrating the screen (problem discussed above), updating software, and clearing user data.

If these steps don't bring your unit back to life, you may need to contact a regional repair facility or the factory for service.

Let me know how this turns out, and if I can help you further.

Regards, Bill

TV screen Flashes blue and then shuts off.

When it flashes blue, are the flashes bright blue lines going across the screen with the picture in the background, if so, It sounds like the Blue tube or blue driver circuit is breaking down after a short period of time. If this is the case, the uPC that controls the set is detecting a large current drain on and is shutting the set off for protection, An engineers expert eye is required I`m afraid. Ian.

You could smash the TV and find that it will work better or call a local repairman. I know the exact problem with this TV, but only a technician should even open a TV. The guy I got the TV from totally butchered the inside of his Akai in a failed attempt to fix his TV himself. Instead, he created a fire hazard and is lucky he did not burn his house down.

Error Code 5 flashes when unit shuts down

Good Day;
It sounds like the TV may have a shorted CRT, picture tube, but let's trouble shoot:
1. Unplug TV from wall.
2. Remove speaker grill, two on bottom, the screws are covered with plastic caps, right and left side on bottom next to floor.
3. Remove inner panel.
4. The blue tube is the one the right side, remove socket, with phillips driver, make sure it's not touching anything.
5. Plug and turn TV back on, if picture appears with no blue it's the tube.
6. If still shuts down, bad blue CRT driver IC.
CAUTION: Call a factory authorized service dealer to give you an estimate, if this sounds too hard.
Good Luck, Day, Big Irish.
