im sure you all know me by now,

but I had the same problem with mine, NO HV, and i have narrowed it down to
the scan gen circuits, it wasnt spitting out a waveform, not even a startup
pulse.

I found a scope mod that can ring check the flyback, and it checks good, so
only thing left: Scan Gen IC. which the shutdown sequence is computer
controlled.

I NEED TO DISABLE THE SHUTDOWN TO TEST FURTHER. anyone got any insight on
this?

Could be as simple as the 110k ohm resistor that connects to the H.O.T. or
a
bad flyback.
You really should contact Zenith and ask for a local authorized servicer.

Good Luck,

Looking for input into whether this June 1996 build TV is worth having
repaired.

TV has worked great since purchase in 1996. Never got a great deal of
use...maybe 10 hours a week on weekends to watch mainly movies on DVD
or HBO. I figure less than 4000 hours total use. Set had been on for
about 4 hours one day and the picture just went blank...like someone
turned it off. No warning of trouble before that...no picture fade or
blooming, it just went dark. Sound still works OK.

The TV is long out of warranty but due to it's light use I was
thinking it might be worth repairing. Can anyone give me an idea how
much would be a fair rate for a repairman to come out and diagnose (I
live in Philadelphia, PA)? What's an average repair cost on a 35"
set? I realize the repair costs would be on top of the initial
estimate depending on what is wrong. On that note, are my TV's
symptoms indicative of a common problem? Based on my novice research
I think it could be a high voltage problem.

The neighborhood repair guy went out of business about three years
ago. Choosing a repair service, I'm finding, is almost impossible to
decide on blindly.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
