i have a RCA PROSCAN 80 SERIES MODEL NUMBER PS60682 and it worked great before i rented a trailer and moved it
all i can tell you is when i plug the power cord in at 1st i hear a ticking sound which last about a minute
i would appreciate any and all assistance that you can offer me Thank You Eric
i have the back off th tv and i check to see if there were any broken boards etc i also used a tester to make sure it was getting power
There is most likely a very small crack around the high voltage transformer called the flyback. This has a lot of high voltage around it, so experimenting around this circuit is not a good idea. There is way to much voltage in this circuit. Is it worth saving a few bucks at the risk of dying? If you have no TV repair experience, I highly advise you to call in a trained tech to have a look. They should be able to diagnose the problem without too much difficulty. Good Luck
thank you for posting Larry but can i ask a question or two? i appreciate all the information
1 if there a lamp out would it come on
2 do u mean on the circuit board
These sets do not have lamps. They have three picture tubes, and yes the set would work if one was broken. And yes I mean on the printed circuit board. This set is also very common for the high voltage splitter to be bad. To check this, pull off the front speaker grill on the front of the TV set. Then take off the wooded cover. You will see a black box with a lot of wires attached to it. Pull off the larger wire with the red connector, and let it hang some where away from the circuit boards or chassis. Turn the set on. If the sound comes on, turn off the set and replace the High voltage splitter, if the sound does not come on, look for a cracked printed circuit board.
larry thank you for the insight it doesn't seem the red wire come out of where there at, and i don't want to pull to hard,
If you do not have a service manual, do not mess with it then. It is suppose to come out of the distribution block.
well i did what u said with the red wire and it still did click on
but i checked the fuse and as far as i'm concerned it looks good
so i was told to wrap it in tin foil and place it back and they said if fuse was bad it will make it work
but when i did that the clickink noise stop when i plug it in
so i took the foil off and put it back in and the clicking sound worked again
Who in their right mind told you to wrap a fuse in foil !!!??? That is such a dumb thing to tell you my friend! You are sooo lucky that there was not a short in the set, as if there was, you could have started the set on fire or possibly blew it up. It is silly things like this that stops me from helping anyone who does not know how silly and how dangerous that was to do. I am afraid I want no part of this repair, and highly advise you to call in a trained tech to assist you in this repair. Please you do not know what you are doing. Get some help! You cannot learn what takes skilled technicians years to master in a week or so.
Please get help on this repair before you hurt yourself.
i am in need of assistance due to i unable to do this at this time for personel reasons so what ever advice you offered i appreciate and will continue to seek assistance at this time thank you for your concerns Eric
