(sorry for my bad english)Help I bought a cheap 1080p led tv, the brand is really really uncommon, its walmart mexico's own brand named atvio, its manufactured in mexico and i imagine so with asian components so you can imagine the quality of the tv. I bought it to use it as a third display for my gaming pc so i dont use it as a tv rather as a monitor. After using it for 2 months one time id didnt turn on so i unplugged it and plugged it and it worked, this continued happening for about 2 weweks and then one day it didnt turned at all. The red light indicating power was on so I assumed that because it was a generic brand it was probably the resistors but i opened it up and everything seemed alright. Im out of ideas I would really use some help.
The tv didnt came with a manual or anything.
I am a tech savvy so please dont answer things like, did you tried changing batteries on the remote and things like that.

This is the tv if it helps in something.

I do not have a solution unfortunately I was just wondering if you ever found out what was wrong with it and got it fixed I also have an LED LG TV the red light just blinks it does Flash once in the back with then that's it I took it back off in the capacitors look fine so I assume it's one of the boards but I'm not sure if it's the main board the power board or the t-con board just wondering if you had any luck fixing it thanks for your help




Hi I was wondering if you ever figured out the problem. I have LED lg that does the same thing. The red light flashes but nothing. I checked capacitors and I think they look OK. Might need new boards there are three. But not sure if I should buy them all or just power. Or main or tcon?? I just thought I would see you if you ever came up with a solution thank you
