After a few years of monitoring several TV repair posts I decided to start this one. I will monitor this daily and give the best advice I can, but remember an educated answer requires a thoughtful question. Please include a Make and model number of the set you are attempting to work on. Many tech’s I know monitor these and combined we have years of experience. I myself over 25, both in the field as now as a lead tech.
Common sense is the main rule here. I will not go telling you to lick the anode cap to check for high voltage. A dif it sound like you are way over your head in a repair, it probably means you are. Many a simple TV fix has gone horribly wrong and then require me to undo (if at all possible) the fix your original problem. Just because it’s simple for a TV tech to do some of the things we talk about, remember, a surgeon thinks removing your spleen is a no-brainer.
