TV ON switch won't latch
I have a CRT type SONY 27 inch TV Model KV27T530. It's between 10 to 15 years old and still shows a great sharp picture in excellent color. I have Cable TV for the basic channels (2 to 13) plus the first tier of extra channels. A month or so ago it could show only the first tier channels and would not even display the Channel number for the second tier. So I took off the back cover to reseat all the connectors. After that the ON switch wouldn't latch. It comes on and switches itself off after a few seconds. What should I be looking for to fix it? I used to be an electronics tech and had fixed minor TV problems before. This TV set isn't worth fixing at a shop. I am sure its basically working OK and I don't like dumping equipment that can be fixed. I'd be happy if it can just receive the first tier channels. I've bought a large flat panel TV to watch the coming Olympics. So fixing the SONY is something I can take my time on to troubleshoot. Thanks in advance. |
