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

Many people have bought Polaroid HDTV's. Around 2 years after purchase these tv's malfunction. When I try to turn my tv on the blue light comes on but the picture does not. I googled some info on these and found a cheap fix. Instead of spending another $1000.00 on a new tv I only spent $3.40 on the parts needed. Its very simple to fix and I hope this saves you lots of money.

so, I'm not a whiz at this stuff. Isn't there something, some point where you can shock yourself on a TV? and is that anywhere on this board?

[Raider2845]

@hadjiofthenorth Yes that is a possibility. The board could hold a charge still in it. I was unable to get anything for safety the day I did this. I would recomend you use a static bracelet or static paper with anything you touch.

Thanks for the video raider.. Add me to the success list.. Actually I spent more time looking for info on the web about the no picture problem than the repair itself.. It cost me $6.75 for 2 Capacitors that weren't exactly the same configuration but the same values of 10uf and 450v.. Your video gave me the encouragement I needed to give it a go.. Thanx Again...

@pjdambra Glad to hear it worked out for you

Thanks for the video!! The last time this happened to me it cost me $200.00. My Polaroid again had the same problem wouldn't turn on nothing no red or blue. Followed your simple instructions and studied your video and did it myself for $3.60. Thanks Again!!!!
