Default Problem with RCA TV Power


MelzyWI schreef:

Hi-

I'm hoping someone can help. I have an RCA "Entertainment Series" 27"
TV. I purchased this in 2003. I've noticed that all of a sudden, we
are having an issue with it. We'll be watching tv and it will suddenly
shut it self off, and then turn it self back on. It does this
repeatedly until you shut it off and leave it sit there for 15-20
minutes. Then you can turn it on and it's okay. It did this
intermittenly and now it's doing it more regularly. I've noticed it
while watching HBO on Demand as well as other channels. We have digital
cable. I'm not sure if this could be caused by the Digital Cable box
or not. Or if it's something in the TV that's shorting out?

Any help would be appreciated.

Mel




Hi Mel,

It's probably a broken solder joint under the pwm- or high voltage
transformer, a five minutes repair job will generally do a small
miracle.
