Aloha ,


We purchased a 29inch Toshiba flat screen tv with a undisclosed
fault .


Occasionally when switching channels the audio track is lost and
replaced with static
Then , after about 20 seconds (always exactly the same) , the audio
track is picked up again .


Finding that we do not watch TV anymore it has been decided to sell
the TV . But We will not pass it on in this condition , it was
annoying to us as the buyer and we want to pass it on in better
condition than we found it .


We have read mention that the TV controller unit (the part inside the
case that has the aerial connection for the TV) is replaceable with
many other versions of the same .. this is encouraging .


But is the replacement of the Tuner really quite straight forward?


And does the TV tuning fault as described indeed refer to the function
of the TV tuner ?


cheers


How about a model number??? Is the set a digital tv? If so, the
sound could possibly go out without affecting the picture. Frankly,
it doesn't seem like the tuner if the picture stays ok as that is
usually much more sensitive to any type of tuner problem.


Nope not digital , just std TV .
