33" Mitsubishi tv - help sought
Hi
We own a 33" Mitsubishi television (model TT-33C1STX ) and although it's a good few years old has a fantastic picture and sound quality. Our problem is that it now refuses to come out of standby. The power on light flashes, but nothing else happens. On occassion it will fire up and work, but goes off again when it feels like it. We have now removed it from the power altogether awaiting repair. Our other problem is that the sheer size of the unit is making it extremely hard to get repaired, it simply won't fit in our car! As far as I know, there are a series of "fuses"(?) that run from the on/off switch and it is common to have one or more of these fail. Can anyone offer any advice on a possible cause for this problem and solution? Thanks in advance Richard |

This could be a failure in the power supply, or in the horiz or vertical
scan sections. The tech would have to properly go through the set in order to determine where the failure is. These types of faults are common in sets that have a number of years on them. Once you have the estimate, you can then decide if the set is worth to service. A fuse will usually only blow if there is a dead short somewhere. If there is a short, then there has to be some components that are shorted out. It is not often that a blown fuse is the only fault in these sets. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "kasstzam" wrote in message ...

Hi Jerry
Thanks for your reply. When the set does come on, the pictures is great. Looks like I'm gonna have to hire a truck to get this thing sorted.
