AKAI 27 Model #LCT2785TA

We have had our 27 Inch Akai LCT2785TA for almost 2 years, just today we cannont get it to turn on the red light will just flash when we try to turn it on. Can you give me an explanation and a fix for this problem

Here's the easy fix, this has been done by hundreds of people that have never even held a soldering iron, the 3 capicitors are $5 at The Shack.

You have power supply problem. Please go to ebay and buy cheaper price:

Thanks
GEORGE

Open the back of the TV,and look at the can shaped items called capacitors on the circuit boards.If any of them have the tops,or bottoms bulged out,they need to be replaced.This should get it working again.I hope this helps.If you have any questions,please let me know.Thank You very much!

Symptoms of a Defective or dying Power supplies on LCD TVs.
1. Light(s) on the front panel are behaving not normal example, blinking, amber color or
not steady, fainting, etc.
2. TV not turning ON properly.
3. TV turns OFF by itself.
4. Needs to be unplug to many times to make it work.
5. Humming or high pitch noise heard through speakers or at the back of the TV.

I repair these power supplies. Write to [email protected] if you require further assistance.

Oddly, entering only the model number - LCT2785TA - brought up only pertainent messages although I see it often that some folks manage to enter car problems under washing machines for example so it isn't only the Fixya search facilities that are screwed up, sometimes it is an entry error.
Now, I'll see if I can find your original problem message since you didn't bother to keep it connected to your complaint. 

Nine did this also. If you change the Closed Caption settings it goes away. Know not why.

You do know that this model TV takes about 5-10 seconds to come on after you press the on button, right?

Press it once to get the green LED, then wait. If it doesn't display the blue AKAI splash screen within 15 seconds, the TV is not working as it should.

Also remember that this model has two RF input jacks. As seen from the back of the TV, the jack on the far right is the one to use for analog TV, analog cable, coax out to TV from a cable box, or rf out from a vcr.

Don't use the one on the far left. It is for input to the ATSC OTA DTV tuner only.

Most likely there is a real problem with your TV, but in the video, you are pressing the on/off button in rapid succession. That will never work with this model.
