JVC colorTV AV-25F1EG high voltage problem?
All,
my TV, a JVC AV-25F1EG, about 12 y.o. gave up recently. I guess it's the high voltage that has blacked out. After switching on, only sometimes for just a sec I hear sound and an image pops up on screen. This image vanishes again, leaving a center glow on the tube for just a sec. This being combined with obvious sounds coming from the back of the TV (high freq tone that goes higher with time) makes me draw the conclusion it's likely the high voltage. Can anyone make a more educated guess from the described symptoms and shed some light on if this is a repair one can do safely at home (security issues re. high voltage). I definately do not want to throw it away as I really LOVE its design and overall performance. Looking foreward to your info. regards, Michael |

JVC colorTV AV-25F1EG high voltage problem?
Going by your description, it seems that the protection circuits are
shutting the set down. This is because the high voltage, one of the scan circuits may be out of specs, and or the one or more of the main power supply outputs may be going too far out of specs. The only way to start is to verify that the main supply is in specs, and work from that point on. The first basic thing that tech will do is measure the power supply outputs that feed the various areas, and compare the readings to the service manual's information. If this is in specs, then he will measure the outputs of the scan circuits, and also test the high voltage. To do this type of work, the proper tools and training would be required. If the problem is a bit complex, the service manual will most likely be required to follow through. There are also safety issues to be respected when working on TV sets, or appliances. I would suggest that you give the set out for an estimate, and then you can make an intelligent decision if the set is worth to repair. Considering that the set is 12 years old, many of the components are aged, and there may be other unreliable factors. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ============================================== WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm Instruments http://www.zoom-one.com/glgtech.htm ============================================== "blabla" wrote in message ...

Considering that the set is 12 years old, many of the components are aged, and there may be other unreliable factors. Thanks for your helpful comments. It looks as if the TV is being shut down (at least most of the times) allright. The funny thing though, is that, once the TV runs (after numerous tries), it's working perfectly for hours. So there might be a relation to the initial currents that are going through the system at tv startup (from stand-by)? Anyway, due to lack of proper (secure)tools the best thing to do is indeed bringing it in for an estimate. Indeed it could be difficult to find spareparts for it, but I really LOVE the looks and general performance (at least when it's working) of the system. ********************** HEY NOW.... WAIT !!!!!! I just took the back of the TV (I'm a wiseguy anyway) and cleaned the inside by blowing away all the dust inside. It was piling up on and around the components in some static formation (like iron filings do when around a magnet) and guess what: The TV is working flawless when switching on and off. Is it possible for dust to cause the described symptoms, or should I go and have my own "magical breath" tv show? Has anyone any experience with dust causing shortcircuiting? Thx, Michael |

Bad solder on printed ciruit board
remove and resolder bad area,s pull out you magnifier and throughly check that board for bad ring joints. kip -- " |

Yes ...
Check all the joints on the board as I suggest and reflow the solder on anything that looks poor. kip -- "Watch the return E-Mail addy its false" "blabla" wrote in message ...

Bad solder on printed ciruit board remove and resolder bad area,s pull out you magnifier and throughly check that board for bad ring joints. kip Thanks for your comments, however I don't think it's bad solder, 'cause it's never been soldered before (except in the factory). Can solder go bad over time by the (over)heat(ing) of (individual) components? If this is the case I might have to check the circuits indeed. |
