It is referring to a channel scan - check your menu for that and do it for OTA reception.

SOURCE: TV COMES ON WITH PICTURE

Place a bright flashlight against the LCD screen. Look around the edge. You should still be able to see a moving image with set on. This means the T-CON is probably ok.
If this set is under warranty you should return it to get it repair/replace.


This problem may be cause by several things.
>Bad inverter board.
>Problem in power supply board.

IF and only IF you know how to repair electronic equipment or have a friend with knowledge/skills you can do the repair.
IF NOT you will have to have a tv repairer do it IF it is worth paying someone else is do it.

First consider the power supply board.

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH ELECTRONICS REPAIR(soldering ) or have a friend with knowledge/skill you can fix it.

>Unplug the set and any cables.
>Remove the back cover.d
>The power supply board is the one the power cord connects to.


>look at the capacitors on the power supply board. If the top of any of them are bulging up then that is the problem.

>You will have to replace ALL the electrolytic capacitors except for perhaps the large one.
>Disconnect and remove the power supply board. Handle by the edges to prevent contaminates and static electricity.
> Use ones with the Low Equivalent Series Resistance ESR rating
> Use ones with the same farad rating

> Use ones with the same or higher voltage rating
> Use ones with high temperature rating
> Install one at a time to prevent mix-up and keep the polarity correct.

> Leave a space between the PC board and the bottom of the capacitors for expansion. They heat up.
> Replace power supply board and reconnect cables..
> Replace back cover.


THIS IS AN INDUSTRY WIDE PROBLEM AFFECTING MANY COMPANIES AND PRODUCTS.

One source for capacitors is NTE. Try nteinc.com for a local outlet.
You can also search for other sources. Some companies even sell all the capacitors in a kit.


Total price of parts should be < $20.00

Yes you can replace the power supply board but if the capacitors have not been replaced they will eventually

Second consider the inverter board.
The inverter board supplies power to the florescent lamps in the set.
>The voltage to it drops too low, because of a bad power supply, the processor switches it off.
>If a transformer on it is failing, a signal is sent to the processor and it is switched off.

If either of these cases happen you can replace the inverter.

I believe the inverter board looks like;

SOURCE: I have an alba tv 42" flat screen, and suddenly it

Suppliy prices vary on who sells them and shipping costs , your looking at around £60 TO £100. Isn;t there any warranty on this? only 8 months old it should still have factory warranty.

If you wish to get some more details about the firmware update, check this link. It has details to some models of Sony TVs. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Pull up previous posts, either by type in the Brand name to your set in its search box, or view it in Mosaic / Timeslide / Flipcard option. Select view option by the drop-down view box, at the top left or the display window.

Alba tablet black screen reset don't work and pressed the on and volume button

ALBa something, it has model number or sub name.'
googling that name,gets me nothing
what you said makes zero sense
try the full story
what does not work,computers have 1000s of ways to fail.
the screen is black. is our only clue.

this i can not understand
i can connect to my laptop and says device? works properly?
what laptop what device, connecting how?


if you turn on the ALBA
and it seems its ALIVE
use a flash light, to see if the LCD screen has data
if yes, the back ligting is dead.
but , what is an ALBA.

i can not tell what any person can fix.
in my shop it is taken apart and we check power to the screen first
if it dead,maybe the battery is toasted.

Hi. I have an ALBA LCD32880HDF television which I purchased in August 2009 so just outside warrenty. I have been on holiday for a week and had switched the television off at the wall and returned home...

hi all the black screen solution for me was this (this is assuming you have alba brand tvs and have the black screen BUT can still hear the sound) i after much fekkin around with it eventually found the solution in it (its the bloody backlight brightness in the settings you need to turn it from high TO LOW) ....... now this can be a bit tricky because usually when you have the black screen problem if u unplug the tv for a few hours and plug it back in you only get or should get probably like 30-1min of picture time before the picture goes black so u have to be reallllly fast with the menu button to get into settings before the picture dies (i learned the sequence for my alba lcd32880hdf) it was the following (for this part use the remotes arrows the one with the ok button usually in the centre of them) turn the tv on then click menu then press the up key 2 times then press ok then use the right arrow/button twice (although u cant see what ur doing ur navigating the menu hehe) then press the down arrow/button seven times before finally pressing the left arrow/button (once) <-- (now this bit may need to be done twice if you can remember setting ur backlight to max use it twice it will put it on minimum if in doubt only press it the once remember to totally power the tv off before repeating the steps to reset menus default posistions) remember thats the solution i found for my tv stands to reason (since i did infact buy another tv same brand different model which got the same problem) that this could be a solution for all alba tv users try it worked for me 2 times if ur not sure of the menu look up you tv models menu navigation online to find out the buttons you press gl hopefully it works for you too
