Polaroid tv will not turn on blue light flashes

It may fix it with a new power supply but personally I'd recycle it...that wasn't a good set when it was new, lots of issues, Ive personally never seen a good Polaroid TV, they should have stuck to cameras as they were great back in the day.

I have the exact tv model and the exact problem.. replaced bad caps and still the same problem. no voltage on the backlight plug. and the blinking red led on the board.

Hello!
If you do have only "blue screen" on your set, it could be caused by 2 separate issues: 1. if your TV glows blue, without "polaroid" logo at the start up, problem is t-con board(display controller).
2. if TV start up normally, with "polaroid" logo, then stays bright and blue, the issue is: multiple electrolytic capacitors failure throughout the signal board(s). Those might look "bloated" and normal, as well. Easy to find and replace "bloated", but to find other bad capacitors, you need to have a technical skills and in-circuit capacitor checker(ESR meter). Plus, good soldering equipment.
definitely, not a "diy" project. You may replace the board, where you find "bloated" capacitors, first and observe the change. It might take care. Usually, "blue screen" means: no signal from tuner. In case of separate tuner sub module, that the place to start.
Good luck,
Alex.

Here is what you need, its from the manual for your TV

Please see my basic troubleshooting guide here:

That sounds like it may be a power supply board problem where the power is not getting to the entire unit. It may be a blown capacitor on the board.

There are 2 capacitors on the power supply rated at 450 volts and 10uf, replace them and it will work again.

this might help
