Polaroid FLM-323B

I can't seem to find any documentation anywhere on how to do this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Where did you get it? My FLM-3232 (circuity city) is acting up too. The NTSC tuner will take 10 mins to warm up and before it is on the thing has blue screen only. While not as bad as some had it (dead) it is still annoying for a $1200 2 years old model.

I have a Polaroid FLM-2632 26" LCD TV that Just Died Yesterday (Circuit City Also, I how ever did buy the plan 3 Years) I checked the Fuse (The External one near the AC Input) and I also tried a different power cord I only had it for a year. The set is getting no power at all the little red LED is not on anymore So now I have to call Circuit City to come to my home to see if they can fix it. This is my second tv set I bought in 3 years from them (Or had replaced)

Mine is not the fuse for sure, since it eventually turns on the tuner but the RCA/components turn on right away.

It seems to be some capacitance or voltage level related issue (bad caps?) I may open it up and check the internal soon. I finally found someone on ebay is selling the tuner boards for about $60 as "tested". So I am evaluating whether to:

1) Keep using it but make a way to turn it on before I come home, or first thing after I come home and keep it on
2) an External tuner from the government's migration to HD program, for low to no cost. Not sure if it works for cable that doesn't do ATSC though.
3) Repair it with the components on ebay for $60+shipping
4) Junk this guy and buy a bigger TV (wife wants it, but no, I ain't paying 1.5 grand for a 47" right now, will wait till price drop)
5) Get HDTV from cable that uses the external cable box, I hate this option because of the additional remote and cost per month ($5) but now it sounds more attractive.


Suggestion?
