Weird RCA TV Problem
Hi,
Has anyone fixed a late model TV (mfg 2005/2006) with this problem: You turn on the TV, after the screen lights up, etc. the TV turns itself off. About 5 seconds later, the TV turns itself on, etc. You have to pull the plug to stop the off/on cycle. Sometimes, you turn on the TV and it will play for a while before this off/on cycle begins. IMPORTANT: The TV may work just fine for a few days, then it happens. Eventually, the TV begins to work fine again for another two or three days before it happens again. I have serviced TVs for years and I performed many tests on this RCA TV, chassis M134C (mfg 01/06). I thought about replacing the micro or the eeprom, but I could be wasting my time and money? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. |

Weird RCA TV Problem
Not sure have a RCA authorized servicer have a go at it, presume you do have
the service literature (very limited) or look as some of the web sites. S.A. http://wa6ati.com "Brad" wrote in message ...
