RCA F27351WN CTC177BE Has no color. Black and white picture only
The display will only show in Black and White. No color! The user said that
the unit would not turn on but when we got the unit it did turn on. The only schematic that we have is for the CTC176 which came from the Electronic Servicing & Technology magazine. (PROFAX 3108 CTC176) Do not know how close the schematic is with this unit. We check the Color kill pin on the T-chip and is was at 3.6V. We do not want to invest in the repair manual because this is the only unit that the University has. Have not check yet for the 3.58 MHz reference osc. Any thoughts on what could cause this problem would be greatly appreciated. |

I think the schematic will be pretty close overall, but who knows if it is close with the circuitry in question. Did you check the crystal's solder connections? What about the capacitor in the crystal circuit? Freeze the T-Chip? Do you have a crystal tester, or one to swap in? Tom |

176 and 177 circuits are identical. Have you tried an eprom IC? If not that,
then LA7610 is bad. Ron |

I looked at the 3.58 MHz crystal which did not have a signal on it. The
voltage seemed fine at 3.6V Forgot to mention that the display seemed to be washed out. Not a good Black and white image. Had the user bring me the remote to the set and access the menu. There was color in the menu! At this time I hit reset in the menu and now the set has color. The picture is fine!!! I am at a total lose as to what happen to this set to cause this kind of problem. The user said that the set made a POP sound when he turn it on and would not turn on after that. Let me thank everybody for there help and suggestion. Has anybody seen this type of problem resolve by resetting the settings? |
