Most likely your standby power supply isn't working. You could check the fuse on the power supply board to see if it is blown. It could also be a main board issue but 9 times out of 10 it's a power supply issue
if no stand by indicator the first indication is power supply board failure. now the first place to be check is the fuse if blown?. if yes, before you replaced with new one re check other component parts in the power supply board which the cause of blown. you need a digital or analog tester so you can perform the job. then making sure you have at least a basic knowledge in any electronic repair, for safety purposes. hope this can help good luck.
Hi Scott,
Replacing the power supply board is not quite technical, no soldering required. But before an attempt to do so, let stand the unit for 1 hour to drain the main filter electrolytic capacitor. Power supply board is where the power cord directly connected. Pull-out all the cables connected from the existing power supply board and then put in the new board, re-insert the connectors and ensure that it is properly seat-in.
Click this link for the replacement or obtain it from your local Polaroid Service Centers.
Hope I helped you.
Thanks for using Fixya.

I hate to say it, but it is prob the main board that went bad. (the board where all the inputs get plugged into) It is possible that it might be the power supply. One thing to check is to make sure you have 25v coming from the powersupply board to the connectors that plug into the main board. If you do have 24-25v than you will have to replace the main board. If not than the powersupply.
