Element TV Dimmed





My Element Roku Tv is dimmed and I have the brightness set to “brighter”. I’ve unplugged and plugged back in. My TV has been like this for weeks and do not know how to fix it.

Thanks for the post.


This seems like this may be a hardware issue. Have you tried contacting Element support yet to inquire further? I'd suggest starting there to see what options or suggestions they can provide. Each Roku TV manufacturer provides direct support for their products running the Roku OS.   
  
You can reach them here: <https://www.elementelectronics.com/support/get-help/> or at 1-888-842-3577.  
  



Thanks,

problem is a bad capacitor on the power board. caution if repairing yourself as capacitors in tv's hold a charge long after set is powered off and can be lethal. 
  
 when looking at your power board for a bad cap look at the top of the capacitors. a bad cap will have a noticable "bulging" on the top of it compared to others. be sure to note polarity of capacitor (will have a "-" on one side indicating negative. to fix on/off issue simply unsoldered bad capacitor and solder in a new one with same voltage and capacitance rating being sure the new capacitor is oriented the same as the old one was before it was removed. switch off the extension for dark mode, it is changing things

there is a native dark mode you can switch on in the settings @derek higgs interesting, mine lights up the kitchen like daylight normally! thanks for this, if you go into settings, there’s a setting called backlight which has options on or 1 min; i cahnged mine to 1 min, just nipped downstairs (at 12:02 am) and the kitchen is in darkness! i’m unsure when it went off but if you change the backlight to “on” it will light up all night. peter Hello guys  
  
I had the same problem. My LCD ViewSonic VX 924 has been blinking   
  
For repar it i changed the following capacitors : 100uF/400v  
330uF/25v and 330uF/35v   
  
if that always flickers you can also change the two 470uF/25v capacitors

DO NOT TOUCH NOTHING D'OTHERS ANS DISCONNECT ELECTRICITY CABLE BEFORE PROCEEDING If the security light is blinking it will not start. The security system needs to be reset. You will have to have a fully charged battery to reset the system. With a full charged battery turn the ignition forward until the warning lights come on and leave the key in the on position for 15min. Turn key off and wait 10sec. then try and start.You may have to perform this procedure a couple of times, however, it is usually successful the first try. The reduced power light can be set by a low voltage/poor charge battery it looks like you are right, this appears to be an issue. i will make sure that it gets fixed soon. You can get seperate dc jacks from here

Try not to disconnect the screen as it may never come on again, i would take to a qualified repairer. hi [@tino52](/u/tino52)
