Tv is hook up to cable tv or free DTV air broadcasting?Have a good antenna source hook up or cable or satellite signals.Go into the tv menu go to SETUP.Go down to CH. press enter pick Cable or Air.Enter for scanning,after it done scanning will get all free DTV air or cable broadcasting channels stations signals.

The slow flashing is a sign that the power source of the tv is in protected mode because there has been a failure on the output lines and it behaves like a short.
The only way to find the failed part is to check the voltages on the output lines of the power source - the one that is significantly lower (or 0) is the one that powers the failed part. Start checking with the inverter boards and their transistors, then check the T-con board.

Remove the power cable from the back. With the 3 silver prongs exposed you should be able to see that the same black plastic receptical that houses the power cord, also houses the fuse (on the left side). You will need a small flat tip screwdriver to open the fuse compartment. Good luck!

If the TV works fine till the time it shuts off, then check if this is thermal related or if with a tap the TV shuts off. If so check for poor soldering joints in the power or relative sections. Use a good soldering iron to touch up all these circuits.
If not there could a component malfunction with thermal action. If so seek technical help if you are not familiar.

It may have power supply, T-CON, backlights inverter, or main board failure. In any case, it will require parts.
Please read below first.
First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board. if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that. There are fuses on the backlight inverter boards also. So there is some troubleshooting you will have to do to find out the causes of the problem you are having. If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on: Basic LCD monitor and TV troubleshooting guide: http://www.fixya.com/support/r5093881-lcd_flat_panel_tv_troubleshooting_guide http://www.fixya.com/support/r6150077-basic_lcd_monitors_troubleshooting http://www.fixya.com/support/r7406380-tv_training_manuals Failed TV and Monitors: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm Learn about bad caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Parts: www.shopjimmy.com Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/Default.aspx he can make you a set of caps. Or www.digikey.com, just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current and long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series. Please post back what you find. Please leave rating if it helps.

First place to start will be the power supply module, right now the standby 5vdc is working but not the rest.
Please read my guides so you will at least know what to look for inside.

you seem to have the incorrect code to the tv this is not allowing you to turn the unit on try the main override switch at the side. appart from this you will need to keep scanning until you get the correct code

let me know if you need further help

Could be the input selector board not changing inputs. Presumably you have pressed the input button on the remote? What happens? Power down completely, remove mains plug wait 15 mins power up and try again. Also try a reset in the menu.

First turn on and check with flashlight 2 in. from screen and see if there is a picture. If no picture then open back panel door by taking big black screw out of middle and 2 screw at bottom of panel and slide panel downward, pull off and unscrew metal plate and you should see bad caps in this set, this is what have to be replaced.

First place to look will be the power supply module, look for bad caps, fuse, burnt out parts.

do you have the red light or blue, if red and don't come on then the problem is in your power supply, sometimes you can take back plate off and see the bulging caps and change and get set back running.

Check your remote control battery - also, test the remote control by using my Tips I wrote.

The first thing I would do is check that the capacitors are not bulging on any of the boards in the machine. For reference look at: http://www.fixya.com/support/r741402-polaroid_flm_373b_lcd_tv_black_screen If you don't see any bulging or otherwise clearly failed capacitors, then I have no idea why a portion of the screen would be failing like that. Sorry.

Hello

This is a decent price on ebay

at least I think its a decent price...

best of luck

Looks like you have accidentally spilled some liquid on the screen, however now the screen itself would have to be replaced and that is not usually cost effective.

check supply bored and or change capacitor in it
