Blown Fuse
My TV blew a fuse and when replaced, it does the same thing. I
noticed the fuse is on the first thing the powercord connects to (the power supply or transformer or whatever it's called). I'm not an electronics person at all but my senses tell me it must be that powersupply thing. I'd just like to know if it could be a part that comes aftet that powersupply before I try to replace it only to find out if I wasted my money. ...thanks |

I can virtually assure you that the problem is beyond your ability to repair and would be better handled by an experienced technician. |

Thanks, I was hoping to hear it would be guranteed to be the powersupply... also so I don't get some runaround from some repair person telling me a thousand things are wrong. If you want the model, it's a RCA Colortrak 2000 (got it mid 90s) Model number: F27201GG Where do I find the chassis number? |

(snip) You are oversimplifying. Until a tech takes a look, it is not possible to say if the power supply simply died on its own, or if a short in, say, the HV section caused it to go. *No-one* can "gurantee" it is ONLY the power supply at fault here. Although it seems like at the very least, you have a shorted rectifier, ptc or something else very near the AC input. There could be many things wrong besides. sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear,.... Ben |

A reputable shop will not make up problems with it, there may be a number of things wrong which caused the power supply to blow up, nobody can give you an accurate answer without looking at it, any number of things could have gone wrong so anything is a guess from here. |

Ok, thanks.. If anyone's curious, the chassis # is: CTC169CA Z 1394 C50 |
