Apex TV guys needed
 

Hi- Model is AT2402. It is about 4 years old but extremely clean.
Customer said it went dead after a few months but he did not bother to
fix it. Horizontal output is shorted but main fuse is ok. It won't
come on. When I press the power button I could only hear a very faint
tic sound. I know I have to change the horiz. output eventually, but
here is the weird part: I can't find any standby voltages anywhere
when the set is plugged in. The power supply board is very clean and
so far I have not been able to find a single pad part on it, and all
connections are fine ! Has anyone worked on this set before ? Why is
the power supply so dead ? Thanks

Did he pay more than $99 for it? :)

Frankly I did not ask. I know how much I paid for it: $3.00 and since
it is so clean I've decided to fix it for keeps. Thanks

Because the power button is off. You will probably find that the power
button is actually an ac on/off button and the remote turns the set
on/off. Common Apex design.
Do a Google groups search for a link posted here a few times for all
the schematics that they have available.

Thank you very much. I did not know I still have to use the remote to
turn the set ON, even though I pressed the PWR switch. I'll look for
the schem.
