My 31" RCA from 1994 has worked flawlessy until a few weeks ago, when
it just refused to turn on. I opened it up and replaced the fuse to no avail. That is the extent of my electronics skills. If I unplug it for a few minutes and then re-plug it, there is a series of quiet chirping sounds emanating from the back of the set - maybe at the rate of 2 per second and a total of about 20 times. Considering the age of this set, is it worth trying to get it repaired? I am in central New Jersey, if that has any bearing on repair costs. I don't know any shop in particular to bring it to - I'd have to take my chances from the yellow pages. If I were to replace, I'm looking at a 32" JVC CRT for about $400 (one the last of the CRT sets in that size). Thanks in advance for your opinions. |

The fuse did not appear to be blown, but I replaced it anyway. There
was no difference. The model number is F31226ES and was purchased in 1994. Thank you! kip wrote: Was the Fuse gone....?? Whats the Model Number ? |

Ok its a CTC169....
First you will have to do some measuring of voltages whilst in standby mode .. Read the voltage on the center pin of the Horizontal Output transistor using the tuner case as the return. lets know what it is. kip wrote in message oups.com...

First - If your extent to your electronics knowledge it switching fuses, Don't poke around in the back of a tv. Your best advice from me is, price a new tv and decide if that cost is affordable to you. Then consider that although the failed part may be as simple as a shorted diode, the cost of a shop replacing that diode will be 80 to 100 in shop fees with parts. If your tv was working real well, with a bright clear picture - I would say take it to a shop and have then diagnose it, then decide to repair or replace based on your new price cost and the age of your old tv.
