Question about Televison & Video

1 Answer

Our Alba tv, just over a year old, the sound keeps going off. If you turn the tv off and back on, then it returns. It seems to happen more when the tv has been on for a while.

If we leave the tv off for 20 mins or so and then turn it back on, we can usually get a good hours worth of sound, but once it starts going off again it seems to happen every few minutes. Having read other problems on here I'm gathering that Alba isn't a reliable make. I know it was considered cheap, but we couldn't afford any more. Is there another cheap brand that would be better if this isn't a fixable problem?

SOURCE: Samsung LN-S4041DX 40 in LCD TV

Hi. You can try to go into service mode and reset the LCDTV to Factory Default. This will clear out all buffer over run's and any software related issues. It may fix the problem or it may not. If this doesnt fix the problem than you need to have a qualified Technician to look at it. The problem is in the AV circuit board, a technician who is qualified to repair electronics at circuit board level should be able to repair this problem rather quickly and inexpensively. Most technicians who do not have the expertise in repairing cicuit boards to component level would rather replace the whole AV board than repair it and this will be rather expensive.So talk to the repair shop before you drop the TV off.

Be very careful when accessing service mode. I suggest to write down all information in all areas before proceeding to a factory reset. If you do not record all values correclty you run the chance of not being able to use the TV again. To go into Factory Service mode, use the original remote and in this sequence push POWER OFF-MUTE-1-8-2-Power ON, the set will turn on and enter service mode, if you hit all previous keys correctly. If it doesnt try again. When you are done hit POWER OFF and this will exit service mode and save the data.

SOURCE: TV SCREEN GOES BLANK

Yes your inverter is bad, I have the same problem my set is about 1 and 1/4 years old. Because Olevia makes a terrible product there inverters are attached directly on to the panel, which means they will only sell the inverter along with the panel i.e $700+ to replace + $100 dollars labor if u don't know how to fix it ur self. I am currently searching to find the manufacture that makes the inverters because olevia will not disclose that information. I believe it is darfon, if so the inverter should cost about $150-200 depending. If you dont believe you can fix it ur self ur best bet is try and sell the set for scrap take ur $100 or so dollar and buy a quality product! Oh and dont call there support they will tell 10 different things before u find out this long for seen truth!

Why does my TV keep turning off while I'm trying to return it

There could be a number of reasons why your Alba TV is turning off after just a few seconds. Some common causes include:
  1. Power supply issues: If the power supply to the TV is not stable, it can cause the TV to turn off. Check if there are any loose connections or faulty cables.
  2. Overheating: If the TV is overheating, it can shut off to protect itself. Ensure that the vents and fan are clear of any obstructions and the TV is not in a location that is too hot.
  3. Faulty remote: Sometimes, a faulty remote can cause the TV to turn off by itself. Try removing the batteries from the remote and see if the issue persists.
  4. Faulty hardware: If the TV's hardware is faulty, it can cause the TV to turn off. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as a defective power supply or a malfunctioning circuit board.
If none of these solutions work, it's possible that the TV is defective and needs to be returned for a replacement or repair.
