Hi everybody,

my tv fades to black (and back to the image then black forever)... Anyone
has seen this? Anyone with a service manual for this model? Doing a search
on the net only comes up with remotes for sale...

Thanks!

Marc

The fault is in the CRT bias circuits, or screen supply, or the CRT itself.
You should get the set properly checked out by a trained TV service tech.
The fault is not in the service menu.

Fade to black is almost always a heater problem, bad solder. Don't go
inside if you don't know what to look for. It isn't rocket science,
but it requires a particular skillset and knowledgebase.

Thanks... I brought it in to the repair shop for an estimate... I'll post
back the diagnostics to see what you guys think
