RCA Television: Screen gets stuck on start up with linings. (Works sometimes)

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 20:21:13 -0700

Issue:

When I turn on the TV, I’m lucky if it starts properly and works fine. Otherwise, it gets stuck on the RCA startup screen, and I see horizontal lines starting from the top of the screen and moving downward, getting darker as they go.

As I mentioned, if I leave the TV off for a few days and then turn it on, it sometimes works fine — but it’s very random.

RCA Television: Just got this like 3 weeks ago.

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 12:42:20 -0700

So I just got this TV like Three weeks ago and last Sunday I go to turn it on and it won't power on with the remote or on the front panel, I have had it on since i acquired it but Sunday nothing, So since I cant figure out how to add a back picture of the manufacturer label the model number is P52921 and the chassis number is PTK195MB. Any advice and help with her much appreciated!

Yes that is correct there is no LED on the front panel and no lights whatsoever, shoot I can't even find the Remote sensor on the front of it, when I first got it the remote buttons would stick or hard to press and I cleaned it up and like one time got the TV to turn on with the remote!

The guy I got it from said it was the original remote, I went through the menus briefly when I did get it to turn on and under the parental controls you can lock the front panel however I could swear that it was off but I'm not a100% sure that while trying to get the remote to work I mistakenly enabled that lock.

RTU5820: Sound but no picture

Fri, 16 May 2025 07:24:17 -0700

Recently I left my TV powered on along with my Apple TV. When I returned home 45 minutes later both units had turned off. When I went to turn the tv back on I could hear the sounds from the Apple TV, the sounds of my remote clicking and the sounds from Netflix and the sound from an actual movie. BUT NO PICTURE. I’ve tried many of the Google search ideas including many options invoking holding the power button on tv, unplug tv from wall and wait 30 Seconds. Just one of the many commands I’ve reviewed and attempted with no success. It could be a failed backlight, but I’m feelings it’s something that happened when the tv auto turned off. Any suggestions would be great.

RCA LED46C45RQ: TV Doesn't Turn On, Standby LED Lights

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 15:41:25 -0700

Hello everyone, this will be my first post here.

Model Number: RCA LED46C45RQ

I salvaged an RCA 46” TV that has an indicator light, but doesn’t turn on when the power button is pressed. When I go to plug it in, the power supply draws power and I can hear the typical electrical arc hiss when the AC prongs bridge; so clearly it doesn draw some power. The Red LED lights, but the LEDs do not come on at all when plugged in, or when the power button is pressed.

However, when the power button is pressed (the power button is “clicky”, so it’s not a bad button), the TV does not light. This is also true if I hold the power button or press multiple times. I don’t have the remote for it, but given that it doesn’t apear to function when the power button is depressed, I don’t think it is necessary for solving this issue. There are also no LED indicators on the board to tell me if certain boards have power.

Here are some pictures I took:

I have a multimeter :)

What approach should I take to restore the TV?

Sorry for the delay, work and life complications.

I thought that the power board was the issue due to it not complying to the power pin requirements written on the board, but the replacement board that I got has the same issue. I believe these to be some kind of standard.

Anyway, I’ve replaced all boards on the TV (the 2 pictured), but the TV still does not light. The power indicator will toggle on and off depending on the switches on/off status, but no signal on the TV itself.

I believe it to be an issue with the LED array or something. Is there anything I should check aside for all connections to the board and AC power (which were double checked first obviously (as was the LED indicator)).

Not sure where to go from here.
