I was watching my rca tv model#f27227fm and the picture just went together and met in the middle of screen and cut off and I have'nt been able to turn it back on so I open the back of it and fuse was blown I replaced fuse still nothing I think it is the light bulb thing that is on the screen looks as if there is some black coloring on one little side,is this my picture tube and is it worth fixing?
Did the fude blow again and how old is this set?
no it did not blow again it was manufactored nov. 1991
thanks, Bernice
Sounds like you got 15 years of good service out of the set. Sounds fatal. Buy another set.
I will have to agree. If the set is 15 years old, it would not be worth dropping at least a hundered or so into repairing it, if even parts are still available. If you really want to invest money into this set, you will need to get a service manual and know how to use a multimeter as well as an oscilliscope. There is no quick fix for this set, but I can tell you this set is famous for the High Voltage transformer to go bad.
