I picked up this model at the local transfer station a week or so ago. It was suffering from the "2 seconds to black" problem... it would power on but the backlight would power off after a about a second. I discovered a bad transformer on the inverter board (open secondary). I bought the entire insides of another unit minus the screen from an eB*y seller for $26 shipped and discovered yesterday that the inverter board was functional... I swapped the new one for the old and the monitor works perfectly. Another plus is the water that had seeped into the panel (the monitor was left outside in the rain) had all evaporated and the annoying marks disappeared.
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a database online that showed which Toshiba remotes were compatible with my unit? My model monitor is supposed to have a CT-90262 remote. They are difficult to find and usually expensive if you do find one. I purchased a CT-20259 that one website indicated was compatible with the 32HLC56. The button layout is nearly identical so I'm hoping it will work OK. Any additional info from anyone would be appreciated.
