Toshiba TZ50V51 TV went off, won't come back on, indicator light flashing. I have unplugged it, put new batteries in remote, reprogrammed remote,etc. noting works. it is not the outlet because I have a surge protector and dvd player is connected

Make sure you turn the TV off and unplug it for 30 seconds plug TV back in and try again.

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
3. Enter the 4 digit code from the code tables. Note: after a valid code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red indicator flashes.
4. With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your device, try one of the other codes for your brand.

Direct Code Entry

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
3. Enter the 4 digit code from the code tables. Note: after a valid code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red indicator flashes.
4. With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your device, try one of the other codes for your brand.

Code Search

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks once, then stays on.
4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
5. Press and release MUTE to install the code. The indicator light goes off.

Most users will want to store VCR codes under the VCR button, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want to store a VCR code under CBL, etc., first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry and press CBL in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY VCR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search.

Hi,
To confirmed if the remote control is working fine, aim the remote control sensor(IR emitter) directly to your cellphone camera. While pressing any button key on the remote control, you can see the flash of an infrared emitted by the remote control if it is working fine.


If you've confirmed that the remote control emitted an infrared but still the tv won't communicate with it, this is an indication of faulty IR sensor board of the TV. Check if there's an obstruction from the IR receiver in front. Keep away all of it, clean the plastic window of the IR receiver with soft clean cloth.
If the symptoms still persist, you have to replace the IR sensor board. Check the actual part no. of the board before ordering.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

please let us know the blink code

You should test a couple of things. If you have a fairly good dmm (digital multi-meter) or like analog meter set it for continuity. Test F860 a small 5 amp pico fuse for open. If open suspect Q801, Toshiba p/n# 23906253. Replace it and the pico fuse.
If nothing open there next test F470 a 3 amp pico for open. If open replace it and the horizontal output transistor 2sd2553, Toshiba p/n# 23314955 and Z450, your voltage divider, Toshiba p/n# 24082877 or its generic equivilent Tpa5007bh. Also replace D478 off the base of Q470 for good measure. D478 is a 30v zener diode.
If you have any trouble with what I've written here print it out and find a good shop. They'll easily understand what I've outlined here and it will better help them in testing and determining the problem.

Small dog or large==coincidental/unrelated to problem!General service includes some very precise soldering==requires chassis pull. One or more micro-fuses will be bad and STK IC's should be replaced.Alignment in servicer menu may be needed after repair completed.

Possible problems: * The TV set may be unplugged. * A fuse or circuit breaker may be blown or switched off. * The remote control unit (RCU) may be disabled. Solutions: * Make sure the TV/VCR are plugged in and the wall switch is on. * Check the fuse or circuit breaker. Test the outlet with a lamp. * Replace the RCU's batteries: if this fails exchange the unit.
