I have one GE TV set for repair.There is one problem.TV start to searching
channels but when it's done I didn't see any channels on.I suspect tuner but
Is it really just tuner bad?What else do I need to check?

You're absolutely wrong because I'm owner of TV repair shop and I started my
business 13 years ago.

I have absolutely no reason to believe you have enough experience to even
be
attempting any kind of repair on this GE tv set of unposted model or
chassis
number.

What you need to check is to take the set into someone qualified to work
on
it and provide you with an accurate diagnosis and estimate for repair.

Then you should not have posted a stupid clearly novice question in the
first place.
No free advise for your attitude today.

Again you posted your ignorance. RCA does NOT make tv sets.
The RCA and GE trademark names are owned by Thomson Consumer electronics.
Do you really own a shop and know so little about tv sets and repair?

You posting proved otherwise. If you really own a tv repair shop for 13
years, you should have at least the basic minimal technician sense to post
the model (or more importantly the chassis number). In the case of Thomson
chassis designs whether or not it has the onboard tuner, modular tuner,
onboard Gemstar, or Gemstar 4 module, in addition to the chassis number.
Then you would have needed to post the minimal troubleshooting performed and
voltage measurements in same posting.

Without it, you are just another Larry, Moe, or Curly trying to get free
crystal ball advise to save paying a qualified technician a living.

Dude, checking AGC action is a very basic test, that doesn't need an expert.
If you believe that a description of this proves David is an expert, you know
zip about TVs. Sounds to me like you did some quick net searching to sound
informed, and came up with AGC of all things....

BTW, David is clearly an expert.

Also, there's probably a dozen of us here familiar with the 203 (David
included) that know *exactly* what's wrong with your TV.

Hey Max chill out or just go away.
People like YOU we do not need.

Max, I'd give you my two cents on your attitude and unprofessional manner of
looking for assistance, but several other "experts" have done a pretty good
job already.

It is the proliferation of Stooges in our business that gives repair
technicians the reputation of being ignorant yahoos. Fortunately for the
rest of us they are being weeded out pretty rapidly by the difficulties of
the business.

Leonard Caillouet

I sometimes forget that in larger cities the less than reputable or
experienced technicians are trying to fix consumer electronics.

The smaller the town or market area, the quicker these stooges get a
bad name and are forced out of business.

There are TWO independent servicers (not attached to retail stores)
left in our town that do ANY warranty work for most brands.

In the last 5 years all the remaining ones went out of business. 1994
we had 5 pages of ads, today there is 1/2 a page in the yellow pages.
I have seen my share of new start ups come and go giving the
occasional 'free estimate, lifetime warranty' tv/appliance repair
shop. The tv repair shops generally last 6-9 months before they are
gone. One was shut down because not only did they not have a business
license, but they were working on fridges and freezers and freon
without the Freon license. There is no longer a license required to
perform electronics repair in our State (I think there should still be
at least for the business)

If your state has a business and occupation tax and/or a state sales tax, I
am certain that the State Revenue department requires a business license so
that the proper taxes can be collected.

..... go back to your shop bench, open the fridge, grab a cold beer, and
cool off.
I have to agree with David on this one..... the manner in which you
posted
for help..... NO model number, NO (very important) chassis number, NO
technical jargon and NO basic technical troubleshooting and testing
results,
apparently inadequate knowledge of the standard TCE chassis types, etc,
etc.....
.... you did not and you do not sound like a tech to me..... at least one
that has worked any amount on TCE televisions.....
Assuming, as you say you are, that you are a television repair shop owner
and tech, if you read your own original post from the viewpoint of a
technician that is going to try to offer help, how could you even offer
anything close to a specific repair or troubleshooting suggestion WITHOUT
ANY of the important stuff that is missing as noted above.
To research television troubleshooting more you should go to the website
for
this newsgroup at
http://www.repairfaq.org/
There, with some searching, you will find a wealth of repair and
troubleshooting tips, component testing methods and important safety
information. You can also go to google group archival search and type in
the TCE chassis number and/or the GE model number and search for relevant
and pertinent information that may help you.... good luck.

I gave for David just a example to show him who I am.I just wants to show
him that I'm not a user who's looking for the power switch on TV.

Sorry, Max. If you want me to teach you consumer electronics, you've come to
the wrong place. But I'll give you one hint; unless your AGC line is clamped
hard to ground, you're wasting your time with that circuit. Follow the FAQ for
this NG, it might help you (but I doubt it).

I told you that it was sample question for David.I just want to show him
that before to say me like "you have enough experience to even be
attempting any kind of repair on this GE tv set"he should ask me nicely like
Can you provide your TV set model and number please?but he didn't.He was

Hey dude max:
What "ads" are you talking about. Is there advertising on this newsgroup
that I am not aware of?
If you read my previous reply post to you (partial below) I tried to give
you a couple suggestions about where you can find specific repair
information that may assist you in your efforts to repair your GE
television..
You are very welcome.
