I have a 2005 model 27V412T

I have a 2005 model 27V412T it is an RCA and when i plug it in it goes on and off continuously. I have to then unplug it to turn it off. But the minute I plug it in it starts over again on and off on and off over and over what the heck is wrong with this thing. I let it sit for 2 weeks plugged it in and it worked fine for a week and then all of a sudden went off and started doing this thing again. Any help would be appreciated.

RCA 35v432t

Picture went black. Turned set off and it wouldn't turn back on. It just clicked a few times. Dusted the inside as per this tip (http://www.fixya.com/support/t1086734-rca_35_no_picture_clicking_zapping) and now it just buzzes kind of like high power electrical lines when plugged in and still won't turn on. The power button has no effect - it's as if the TV is unplugged.

If the unit try's to turn on

If the unit try's to turn on three times and then stops could be one of two problems there is a small coil between the output of the horizontal driver transformer and the base of the horizontal output transistor has bad connections. If you only re solder it the problem WILL reoccur! You need to remove the coil and scrape off both sides and reinsert into the circuit OR the fly back transformer is bad. and I am told that is no longer available!

The local shop says it needs a new power supply at a cost of $195 + 9.5% state sales tax.

Any comments/suggestions? Should I spend $214 on a 4 year old CRT TV or invest in a LCD?

Larry... you seem to be the

Larry... you seem to be the man with the Mitsubishi big screens. I have an issue that is just developing and am hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Long story short, I have the Mitsubishi WD-73827 73 in. HDTV DLP TV... and it's been a beautiful picture up until just recently. Now, the picture is extreamly saturated, and the colors don't blend smoothly, but more in segments... almost as if the tv was not able to produce as many colors.

Any advice would be very much appreciated, sir.

Thanks, and my best.

I personally would not invest

I personally would not invest that kind of cash into a dinosaur like that RCA set
Just my opinion!!!!! what does everyone else think or have to say about this matter?

I'm changing the STK ic chips

I'm changing the STK ic chips and I can't find any bad fuses.

Is it possable for an ic chip to go bad and not blow any fuses ?

I checked all 7 Pico fuses on my D board and 2 on the G board with an ohm meter, all good

Larry Dillon
highly unlikely man but does

highly unlikely man but does happen all the time but if the set all of a suddenly goes out of convergence alignment but the picos all check good, a bad chip, resistor, or coil on the G or/D and the D board are bad as most chips do have three amps built in to them. some have all six in them. always measure the negitive and the positive voltasge on both sides of the coils and resistors unless measuring resistance , then always test those with one side disconnected from the board that includes the d and the g boards, if that is the case do not try to adjust the or touch up the convergence in the manual mode as it could make the TV set harder to adjust and or set-up when the set is repaired.

I need help with my kv-xbr36-800 sony tv. standby is blinking 6 times. anyone knows an honest repairman in chula vista, ca. Is it worth it to fix this tv? how much do you guys think i will spend to fix it?

that model of tv was very expensive!!!! Your best bet is to call Sony and ask for the nearest authorized Sony repair station in your area, then call the local BBB and see what type if any complaints were filed against that repair station. You might get one that operates above board.

Hi, have a Sony KE42TS2E 42" plasma with a 4 blink code. Can anyone give me any pointers as to what the fault is? Many thanks in advance.

Standby/Sleep Light

Standby/Sleep Light
The front panel Standby LED blinks to indicate a fault. Refer to Figure 2-1. If the TV does not start up, the
LED continually blinks to indicate a problem.

Figure 2-1
If the TV starts and shuts down, the LED will repeatedly blink to indicate the reason for shutdown or A/V muting.
Table 2-1 shows the boards that can cause the Standby LED to blink continuously and Table 2-2 shows the
boards that cause shutdown.

the boards that could cause the symptoms listed. The most likely board is designated #1,

performed in the Standby/Power ON, Fan Drive, Video Flow circuit descriptions (Chapters 10-12) or the Plasma
Panel picture defects (Chapter 4).
For isolation purposes, the TU (tuner board) may be unplugged and the TV will work, displaying video inputs.

TV sets do not use the same Switching Regulator power supply and therefore have different part numbers.

My Mitsubishi VS-50VF1

My Mitsubishi VS-50VF1 Projection TV has a distortion problem when it is on BUT my problem now is that it will not start or turn on by remote or on/off button on television. Is there an easy way for me to trouble-shoot and fix this amazing TV by myself?

I have a panasonic tc-21ks30

I have a panasonic tc-21ks30 that has an intermittant problem. Typically, once I turn it on, it will play normally for 3-4 hours, then power back off. Doing this a few times in a row, it will eventually stay on indefinitely. However, sometimes it does not come on at all. please help me to solved this problem
