My RCA TV works fine with the manual controls (push buttons) on the
front of the set. When I use a Remote Control..it causes the picture
to break up wide white horizontial lines and then black out for a
second. The picture then returns on the same channel and at the same
volume level (no change). It doesn't matter what key on the remote I
press volume, channel mute etc. the result is the same. The TV also
seems to pick up non-RCA remote transmissions and has a similar but not
as pronounced result...same horizontal lines but not as strong.

I am thinking that I may have created a solder bridge somewhere but I
have looked and not found anthing. Can anyone tell me which IC and
which leg on the IC might look at?

I did solder in a another reciever from a junk set onto the controls
board and still had the problem ... I have tried flexing the small
board that the controls are on..I don't see any cracks or get any arc.
I don't see much on the board other that 2 resistors and one Cap..and
seeing as how the manual switches all work. I'm thinking it's on the
main board HELP!!
