I have a 32" RCA CRT TV model

I have a 32" RCA CRT TV model #32v434t. Only had it for 1 1/2 years and it just stopped working. The screen went blank and the red light on the front would blink on and off for a while then stop. I took it to my cousing who fixes TV's as a hobby and found that the Flyback transistor and the Horizontal output transister were bad so we replaced them. We turned it on and the screen came on but after 20-30 seconds it shut off again. I am able to open up a menu but before I can do anything it shuts off. This is a SDTV. Does it have to be reprogramed? There's obviously something that isn't right and it's telling the processor to turn off. Any ideas?

Did you get the flyback kit

Did you get the flyback kit with this or just the fly? The kit includes a couple of caps as well as instructions to resolder the small coil between the horz drive transformer and the base of the horizontal output transistor.

I don't believe so but we did

I don't believe so but we did check all the other components on the board and nothing else needed to be replaced.

the small coil is not located

the small coil is not located on the board look on the HOT socket!!!! the cap you do not see bad it opens up internally and the circuit runs away with itself. no HV regulation burns up the HOT
and the fly.

tv broke

I have an RCA TV/DVD combo in

I have an RCA TV/DVD combo in my bedroom. It was working fine until one day I turned on the TV, and it had this pink screen, it stayed on for a few seconds then turned itself off. I unplugged the TV in and replugged it but it still did the same thing. It just comes on, pink screen, and then shuts off. Does anyone know what it wrong with it, or what I need to do to get it fixed? Or would it just be better to scrap it and get a new one?

I have an old (ten years plus

I have an old (ten years plus) RCA ColorTrak Plus. I have Comcast cable tv. The other night it turned itself on at 3:30 am and started searching for channels. Couldn't turn it off - freaked me out -so I unplugged it. Now I can't get it back on. When I first plug it in, I hear a little cackling, so I know it's getting power. How do I get it back!

Thanks!

I have a 52 " RCA projection

I have a 52 " RCA projection TV. It was working and then it just stopped. When I press the power button I hear power go to the speakers then it just shuts off again. If I hold the power button on for a little while the screen will come on full of static as well as the speakers, then it shuts back off.

Any thoughts ???????

Hello, We have a 27" RCA

Hello, We have a 27" RCA Model #27F520T Chassis #M134C. It is certainly not new... probably purchased new in 2006 or 2007. This evening, we had it on and my husband was playing with a nerf basketball in the room. He hit the TV with the (nerf!) ball and it went haywire. The channels won't stop going up, basically scanning as if in Auto-setup or something, but it won't stop. If we hold down a button, it stops on whatever channel it's on, but none of the buttons (on the front of the tv) work. We do not have the original remote or a universal right now; we just change the channels manually. This is not our best tv because lightning blew out our flatscreen last week, but it's all we have right now and a bit unbelievable. Any suggestions? Thanks!

sounds like one of the

sounds like one of the switches behind the front botton asy. is stuck or bad you can replace them as an assy. (all at one time),this will cause the tv to scan channels all the time.

Allison Wisco
Ok, thanks for the suggestion

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have my husband look into it. He also told me taht recently, he noticed that sometimes when he tried to adjust the volume (using the buttons on the tv itself), the channel changes instead. So you think it's something to do with the buttons or the switches behind the buttons? What is "asy"? Or is it "assy"? Thanks!

yes a common problem with

yes a common problem with this set, you can change the whole circuit board at one time insteed of just one ot two switches.
