Hi Rhaleinc,

Thanks for being so patience.

As you said, the local tech already inform you regarding the Supply Board. If i talk about the cost of supply board available on discounts would cost you 100-150 bucks depending on the model.

Now, in order to fix that, it's a time consuming job. Even a tech would take more than 2 hours. So, if you decide to DIY, you need to have a voltmeter as well to check if there is any other fault.The capacitors/diodes might be at fault alongwith supply board.If you are not well equipped with electrical systems, you might break rather than make.

If you call a tech, he would charge you more than 300 bucks ( Usually $300-500 ).There would be certain hidden charges they would charge ( Reviews as Per most of the customers ).

Let's even imagine you spent 300 bucks. Who will gaurantee that it would work? It might cause an issue after few months. That's electronic item and once it asked for repair , every time and then it would hurt yourr pocket and you would agree.

At this point, when it's confirmed that it's supply board / y /z fault, i would advise you to invest in new LCD. Atleast you do not have to worry for the next few years.

I understand your frustration, However, this would be the best solution.

Still, if you want to repair that, you can purchase service manual from :-

http;//www.ebay.com

Sometimes, you might find a used boards ( Working, rare but sometimes available )...


You can also check few sites like :-

And you can contact them in regards to your model............


I hope that would assist you to take your decision.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Hi there,

TV’s have a built in self-diagnosis function. If the timer/standby indicator is blinking, this could be an indication of a problem with the unit. The diagnostic blinking will occur automatically with no action required by you to engage it.

The timing of the blinking you see would be as follows: two to nine blinks, (depending on the fault), about a third of a second apart, then a pause for 3 seconds, then the two to nine blinks about a third of a second apart again.

After you repair the unit, you MUST clear the values on this diagnostic screen. These codes do not reset themselves after the fault is corrected, so if you don't clear them, you'll be seeing "old" fault codes the next time you enter this screen.

I just finished repairing an 20 inch lcd monitor with the same symptoms. basically the same idea to fix them. when you have it apart examine all the capacitors ...especially in the power supply section. visually and by feel... if the tops of the capacitors are swelled they must be replaced.... be sure to respect the polarity when replacing them.

Hi,
Well the part number for the same is not available in a lot of online electronics stores that i checked. However i was able to locate a bid on ebay for the powersupply board for your TV. You can check and match the specifications before going ahead .

Took unit to licensed repair shop. Diagnosis was Power Supply Board / Part E7801 P02002. Akai says not available. The $300.00 repair estimate (inc. a $45.00 diagnostic fee / ok / fine)while a reasonable repair by good shop doesn't seem worth the cost. Shop agreed to install if I can find the part. Suggestions?
