I have a rear projection RCA model #P52730CK with chassis #PTK169PCB. While watching, it shut down. I couldn't turn it on. Have checked the power cord, pulled the panel and found the 5 amp fuse opposite the power cord was blown. It was a light fuse blow, no discoloration on the tube so I replaced the fuse. Still the set will not turn on. There are no noises, hisses, etc. I had this set worked on before and the technician said there was a reset button on this set, he said not all these models had resets but this one did. Was he jerking my chain? Looking for a way out before I spend another $500. This set was manufactured Oct. 1994.
Serial #441586105 and service #P52730CKLG1.
Don't know if these latter numbers will help but trying to offer all info available.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Ron

Seldom does a fuse blow without reason, often the chopper will fail blow several parts including the fuse, so that a new fuse if fitted may not blow. Reset button, if you cant find it , it aint got it. There is no reason to believe you will pay $500 for a repair if its just a chopper and surge limiter, so get a quote.

can you help me with tv just put a new flyback in and still don,t start up right could it be something thats burned up on coverance board. thanks

Need to check Q4302, R4314, and T4301.

replace c4401,c4402, check cr4401,cr4402.best to change all 4 components at once

need a socket for this set do you no where i can get one. thank you roger

What kinda socket?

Common replacement failure parts are Q4101=SGSIF461=RCA # 200165, U4101V=TEA2261=RCA # 200419, F4005=5 amp fuse, C4108=47 Uf,50v, C4108=39 Uf,50v=RCA # 208002 (in some units), C4108=47 Uf,100v=RCA # 193623, CR4101=546-002=RCA old # 164588,RCA new # 207878,some say you can also use RCA # 164589 (small diode), CR4106=A-23=B4304=RCA # 176296 (large diode), C4102=2.2 Uf,100v=RCA # 242026,RCA # 195691, C4104=15 Uf,100v=RCA # 189982, CR4118=PFR 851/6,FR305=RCA # 164590 (huge diode) and CR4122=BZX855 3VC=2.7B=ECG5065A. In some cases these parts also have a high failure rate: R4118=CF 33K ohm,1/4 watt=RCA # 175314, R4114=MF 45.3 K ohm,1/4 watt=RCA # 176506 and R4001=2.7 ohms,15 watt. When it comes to Sony & RCA ALWAYS USE OEM #'s or the exact generic #'s when it comes to semiconductors but for electrolytic caps you can use any replacements.

Frank is absolutely right with his post. A very comprehensive list indeed!
