Default RCA CTC169CF5 power problem


Golf wrote:
I did some research and don't see where this chassis had the tuner
solder problems as others. The set was intermittent on powering up and
now won't power up. A previous post on this particular set was
stretched width and no adjustment control, and this could lead to more
problems if not corrected. I assume this is the "more" problems. Are
these symptoms likely an eeprom fault? I tried accessing the service
menu, but the codes I tried wouldn't work. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks as always group. - model #G27751AT.


Forget the eeprom on that set. Not addressable and is just for customer
settings. You'll find a million guys telling you about the power supply
and sweep faults so, I'll mention a fail not talked about that much.
Look a U1001 and on the right side you'll see a blue ceramic crystal.
Look for moisture there and if so, that needs replacing and the two
180uf caps next to it that leaked. At this age, I'm finding that fail
more and more. Of course that's not the only fail for intermittent
startup and dead but, it's worth checking.
