How to fix your Polaroid wide screen LCD HDTV Part 5-5 Model # flm-3732

Raider, this was just great. It realluy works people, just follow the directions and your 1000 tv will work again for 3.50. It has set in my spare room for about 3 months till I thought to look up some help. Kudos to you Raider

can anyone help me i have a flat screen 32 inch polaroid tv, i have one capacitor that is bad on the capacitor it says "10uf450v and it also says HEC" i can't not find this capacitor anywhere i have not a clue about anything capacitors so can someone plz tell me where i can find the same one? or find one that i can replace it with? thanks b4 hand to who ever replys

You can try to find a mom and pop shop for specialty electric stuff. They typically are able to get these odd things you are looking for.

Thank You for posting this! We had the exact same problem and my husband is fixing it this very minute. The tv is just 1 month away from being 2 years old and am happy to pay only $19.00 to get it back up and running. If it wasn't for the fact that we had to buy a sodering iron, it would have only been $3.00, but still well worth it. THANK YOU!

dude u rock. i just got a 32in hdlcd for free.. b/c of the same prob, powers on, but no pic. ima have to give this a try.. i'll let u know how it works out.

Ok, i was in this video before...and for the love of God..don't buy polaroid tv's...i had the backlight problem and instead of fixing it myself..two weeks later it comes back..back light fixed! YAY! but the moron who put it back together broke the channel buttons and now the channels keep flipping..no way to stop it...so i'm gonna call back and demand answers!

The 35v are the ones I used to replace the 10v. So long as they are the same type of capacitor I think it should work the same. I dont know for sure but it did work for mine.

No problem. That is exactly why I posted these videos. Im glad to hear it worked out for you.

Are the caps you used 105c?

Capacitors usually come in two heat tolerances 85c and 105c. For high power applications such as this you should use 105c caps; the 85c caps will fail, they may blot (get fat), leak out all over other components, and maybe even explode and **** the board.

I honestly have no Idea what you are talking about lol. I really know nothing about electronics. Unfortunately I have thrown the bags in the trash that the capacitors had come in. I thank you for sharing that information. If I get any more questions regarding the caps I will recomend that.
