If plugging the unit in, you can hear the relay "click" and for a brief second or so, the power light comes on...then nothing. I have looked over the board and haven't found anything unusual. How do I fix this problem? It was working ok about 3 months ago, and has become worse ever since. In addition, on the few times we got the tv working, the color was majorly "blued" out until the tv got going (about 30 minutes) I read someplace that the capacitor at C840 might be to blame for this...I need input before I start replacing parts...help...:-)

I can't get my tv to turn on. I hear a "click" from the relay when plugging the set in, but the power won't "stay" I have read that the capacitor c840 is to blame for this, but is that true? what do i do? help please...

1Mannong: How can anyone know if C840 is to blame for the malfunction.... there are many faults that could cause your television to "not turn on." The television will have to be opened up and parts tested with test equipment to determine the actual fault. At the very least you should TAKE it to a service shop for a repair cost estimate so you can make an INTELLIGENT repair decision with facts instead of Internet or Telephone wild guesses. My car won't start..... is it the battery?, the starter motor?, relay or solenoid?, bad ignition?, bad computer module?, bad fuel injectors?, .....or maybe a bad mechanical part in the engine? ! Obviously, tests need to be done by and experienced and knowledgeable tech to determine the problem and fix it.

Open the tv up and esr check any suspect capacitors. If that yields no firm answer, troubleshoot the tv.
