Since you cannot even figure out how to turn off the caps lock on your
keyboard, it is unlikely you will be successful with such a technical repair as your tv requires. David "Stranger69LA" wrote in message ...

RCA TV PROBLEM
Yes first dont use all capital letters .
Next your tv has loose solder in the tuner where the metal box goes through the board . If you are going to take it to a repair shop bear in mind this is about a 15 minute repair job and at maximum a 65$ repair job .Find a shop that does not overcharge for that repair . those are a good tv if repaired right |

RCA TV PROBLEM
Except to do it right takes about 30-45 minutes.
On a 27" size set $75 labor plus some taxes is about average. Even in some of the higher cost areas (due to hazardous waste fees, taxes, etc) the total rarely goes over $100 total.

Ken G:
15 minutes? ! ? I must be doing it all wrong...... ....I can't hardly get the television's back cover off and then back on in 15 minutes ....... unsoldering the OBT bottom cover, adding jumpers, re-soldering the OBT circuitry and tuner shield, replacing or re-soldering the most probably stressed antenna connector, and re-soldering other know problem areas on the main circuit board can take at least 45 minutes or even up to an hour or more....... and if the eprom is screwed up.............? -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Ken G." wrote in message ...
