[RESOLVED] Anybody know anything about TVs?

only help I can offer is...

if it cannot be operated from the remote then it's not worth it.

Naa, only the older ones don't have a bleeder on the 30,000v (give or take, depends on the tv) cap. Those you gotta look out for, but those are from TVs that the screen is 1/4 the size of the actual box and from like 1940s and 50s.

30,000v caps are FUN to play with. Kinda like a 1 farad 220v cap...hehe, sparky sparky https://forums.windrivers.com/</font>

oohhh hooo yea...those old tv's could toss you across the room if you touched it right https://forums.windrivers.com/ My teacher in High School was a college professor and had a phd in physics, and he brought on of those puppies in...the newer ones have more of a moron in mind (like me ! https://forums.windrivers.com/) so that when the tv is turned off, it bleeds the cap to a ground so if you WOULD touch it, it wouldn't invent flight.

Of course, theres a x amount of time you have to wait but still.

ha im not a tech ,, probablly not a yoke problem at all , probably a leaking cap in the high voltage , power suply, leave the tv off for a while like atleast over night and slap in on the cellar floor,, cement il drain the power suplly,, any way unsolder all the big caps in the supply get youre self a good volt meter that measures caps and see if the values are correct,make shure you remember which side the stripe goes on the board a majik marker ill mark it.. ok im not a tech im a lamer i hate fixing tvs, if its not cold solder joints'' usual problem, or its like actually worthy spending tyme fixing i usually toss it at this point, it does sound like its in the power suply, high voltage section if its makin a squeeling noise toss it , the noise usually means high voltage problem in the picture tube s trans former, ya know the big red wire conected to the tube you , or youre cat shouldnt touch for some reason.. any way ive seen tvs at wally mart and that big k, dirt cheep, natuarally tvs are only ment to last like 3 years now adays before the landfill gets em so as far as fixing it dont spend to much time reviveing something youre time is worth $$$ in the amount of time you spend fixsing something you could make a profit on something else and buy a new tv with the profits hey a serious post what are my meds doin to meeeeeeeeeeeee ???????????!!!!!!!!!!
