SOURCE: Parts

You can find a replacement Capacitor at any local Radio Shack. Just ask them for a 50 Watt Capacitor and they will give you a box of 2 for like $1.45

0.047µF 50V Hi-Q Ceramic Disc Capacitor Pk/2

Link to Item

If the above link does not work, add this to your browser:

You will see the blown capacitor once you open up the back of the unit. It is over to the top left side of the unit.

Here is a link for some basic soldering instructions for circut boards.

SOURCE: sylvania 6842pf m after i power on inmedialty power off (stamby)

These sets are manufactured by Funai, in my opinion total junk, yet they command a $1,500 price tag. I cannot find parts available for this hunk of **** anywhere so if this tip helps you fix this set and get it out of your hair, God Bless You! Model number is followed by an M to read: 6842PF M Found no VSUS on connector CN2502 of the SMPS. VSUS was shorted to adjacent GND pin by 120 Ohms. Small high voltage blue capacitor C2250 (Between Two very big electrolytics and right next VSUS diode D2250 (TO-220 package) on aluminum heatsink) shorted, burned. I have two of these sets in the shop at the same time, both of them have the very same problem, appears to be common and parts seem to be NLA for this unit. Replace C2250, 1,500 pF @ 1Kv. Usually marked as 152K on small high voltage capacitors in junk units. This is not a common value part so if you have to, make one by parallelling a .001 uF cap (102) with a 470 pF cap (471) to get a suitable 1,470 pF capacitor at 1 Kv. Adjust VSUS with VR2250 on SMPS board to read 175 VDC to GND and you are done. You're welcome. ~Ohmster

SOURCE: Sony Trinitron won't turn on, Standby/Timer light now blinks 2x

If you unplug it for more than 30 minutes and it still doesn't work, I highly doubt that leaving it overnight will make a difference. The TV tube/screen itself can hold a charge for a LONG time, but the rest of the electronics in the television should lose their charge which will cause most things on the television to reset.

If unplugging it for more than 30 minutes doesn't help, you may have to get the television serviced.

Sony makes some great stuff, but sometimes there's problems just like any other electronics.

Good luck!

My 22" Sylvania is stuck in standby mode.

Chances are you have a bad main board but on a small TV like that it will make more sense to buy a new TV

Why is my sylvania lc260ss1 flatscreen in standby.

Try unplugging it from power for a while, 10-15 minutes, then plug it back in and try it again. If it still doesnt work then chances are the power supply inside needs repair. The most common problem with LCD tv's is failing capacitors in the power supply, they appear to have power and the standby light comes on but they just refuse to turn on.

I have a sylvania flat screen 46 inch TV and will not turn on. It stays in standby mode. Any quick fix?

Do a hard reset to this set, and check. To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight; will be better. If it do not help you, check and replace the damaged component/s at its main board. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Sylvania 6842THG won't turn on. the tv red light displays when you push the power button you hear a click and then 5 - 10 seconds it goes back off

I have been having the same issue. I unplug the TV for 10 minutes and it usually works fine. I moves all of my A/V plugs to a single power strip and that helped a lot. Since then, the TV went into protection mode only once in 2 weeks. Next, I will use a power strip that includes the cable protection.

My sylvania 19' tv (model #LC195SL9A) keeps going to standby instead of turning on

I was having this same problem with this same model. I would turn it on, the green light would blink a few times, then it would go into standby. After repeating this 10-15 times it would finally turn on. I called customer service and they said to try resetting the TV by unplugging it for 30 minutes. If that didn't work, they said to call a service center to see if they could figure it out.

Well I unplugged it for 30 minutes, plugged it in, turned it on and Whalla! It works! I am so glad it wasn't something else.

Sylvania 6842PF M screen turning dark red

This sounds like the color processor IC is not working properly. If this is the case you will have to have this checked by a qualified technician.
