I have a thompson tv. It`s about 4 years old. the screen lately keeps going off and the stanby button comes on and then starts flashing. the tv will now not come on. Is it now ready for the scrap heap?

I have two t.v.'s this same serial and they both won't turn on, and they went bad months within each other, kinda coincidental. The only answer it to Trash It?!!

Yes we have the same problem, ours is only 3 years old, buying a Phillips or Sony next, as a shelf life of 3 years is unacceptable we think.

Dear harvey,

i have ever found the problem same like you, but i could finish the problem by myself. after i check the circuit board, there were many components got loss connection between the components pins to board. so i suggest you to check the connection components of your tv. good luck harvey

I have a problem with my thompson tv i can not turn my tv on or off with my romote or my fingers

Did you try unplugging and replugging the set to reset? Checking remote battery? Actuating each remote function (button by button) twice in succession to reprogram? Also, could you have inadvertently de-programmed by pushing the PROG or similar button? Mfrs not uncommonly but that button in the wrong place where users, especially button mashers, are apt to push them trying to turn of the set. The suggestions above might reprogram. Other wise contact customer service for the TV and let them guide you.

Hi,
4 times red light blinking indicates problem with exhaust fan that is not running and tv shuts down instantly due to protection mode activation.
Please check exhaust fan and make sure its connector is plugged in and fan runs freely.
Thanks.
