Power just clicks when I turn it on. Does not turn TV on

The Dish TV remote control allows you to program the TV, VCR and DVD codes so that all you need is one remote. Most TVs can be programmed into the remote using specific codes in the Dish TV remote manual. But if you don't have a manual or list of codes, you can program the remote manually.

Instructions 1. Using Programming Codes

Find the TV code for your TV in the list from the Platinum Remote Control User's Guide (See References). For example, if you have a Kenwood TV, the three possible codes to try are 506, 573 and 712.

Press the "TV" button on the remote. Hold down the button until the "Sat," "VCR" and "Aux" buttons light up. Release the "TV" button and it will be flashing.

Enter the first code using the keypad. If you want the remote to control all functions on the TV, enter the code and press the # key. The "TV" button will flash three times.

Press the power button to turn off the TV and turn it back on again. If the code was correct, the TV will turn off and on. If the TV doesn't power down or back on, follow Step 6.

Try the next code from the list. Follow Steps 2 through 4 using each code until one turns off the TV.
2. Programming Without Codes

Press the "TV" button on the remote. Hold down the button until the "Sat," "VCR" and "Aux" buttons light up. Release the "TV" button and it will be flashing.

Press and release the "Power" button on the remote.
Press the arrow up key and stop. If the TV doesn't turn off, press the arrow up key again. Continue pressing the arrow up key until the TV turns off. Do not go fast when moving through the codes or you could miss the correct code. Press the arrow key and wait at least 20 seconds to see if the code works before pressing the arrow key again.


Press the # button on the remote control when the TV turns off ot lock the code.

Universal remotes are not as universal as they claim. I recommend contacting eith th remote manufacturing company for compatibilty as well as any codes needed. Good luck.

Tries unplug,replug the tv an hour later might work.But this a temp.fix,must replaced the backlight video board sooner or later.

Howdy,
First reset the TV by unplugging from a/c source for about 3-5 minutes. Plug TV back into a/c source. Then TV back on if no fix try this to isolate problem:

This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis feature to help with diagnosis of shutdown problems. To activate this turn the unit on let it shutdown then press the input/device and menu buttons on the front panel simultaneously and hold them in for 5 seconds after 5 seconds the power LED on the front panel will blink a two digit sequence. This will be one set of blinks a short pause then another set of blinks, this will repeat 5 times.
1 - 2 = no error detected
2 - 1 = X-ray protect (high voltage or beam current)
2 - 2 = Short protect (short protect monitors low voltage supplies)
2 - 3 = Deflection protect (this could be loss of vertical or horizontal deflection)
2 - 4 = Vertical protect (usually loss of vertical from the source)

1. MAY BE INTERMITTENT, SELF-DIAGNOSIS ERROR 23 OR 24. CHECK SOLDER CONNECTIONS AT CONNECTOR "DY" ON THE YOKES.

2. SHUTDOWN AT POWER WITH SELF-DIAGNOSIS ERROR 23 OR 24. CHECK C411 2200 UFD 35 V AND C412 10 UFD 50 V, BOTH LOCATED ON THE MAIN PCB.

I hope this helpful, Good Luck, Big Irish.

unfortunatly the rca d52w20 is a flawed tv, they a high rate of problems with the power supply and convergence amps, both parts are no longer available, i have scrapped those sets that were barley a year and a half old. sorry and good luck

This should help you.. use the TV button on the remote instead of the power button. If the TV is working properly and the buttons aren't damaged this should do it.
I know mine clicks off as well.. unless I use the TV button to turn it on.

Resetting the TV
If the buttons on the remote AND the buttons on the TV case do not work (channels do not change and you cannot open or navigate the menu), the TV has stopped responding. Reset the TV as follows:

NOTE:
Some TVs have a reset button. If available and accessible, try using the reset buttons before using the steps below. Using the reset buttons can save time.


1. Unplug the TV power cord from the power outlet.
2. Unplug any connected devices (DVD, Set-top boxes, etc...)
3. Press and hold the TV power button for five seconds.
4. Plug the TV power cord back into the power outlet and turn on the TV.
5. Open the on-screen menu to confirm that the TV is responding again.
6. Turn off the TV and reconnect the devices.
7. Turn on the TV.

hope this may help;

DON'T FORGET TO RATE:

You will need to replace the "D" board in the TV or have it rebuilt. This is a very common issue with these Sony TV's. This is the part number you will need A-1346-948-A

First of all, forget about the remote and see if the TV functions normally using the buttons on the front of the set itself. If the TV will not power on with the power button on the set itself, then something is wrong inside the TV. If the set works fine from the front buttons but no longer responds to that remote, then the remote has either gone bad or was accidently set to a different brand. In this case, look for the original book that came with the remote (or TV if it is the original remote) and follow the instructions for setting the remote back to Zenith. Try that and post your results here.
