Hitachi TV Model: C2133TN (Nokia Stereo Plus) Chassis) Very strong red content in the picture, sometimes the fault wod clear with the strong red content fading until the correct greyscale was achieved After much searching around i found the problem. There was a very small crack in the solder at RH23, this is a 2K4 surface mounted resistor located at the back of the tube base. Resoldering both sides of it cured the fault (Sparky)

Jvc TV Model: C-V14EKS/B/W (Onwa Chassis) No Red I was hoping the nvm had become corrupt and turned the red drive down but it was fine (To enter service mode press and hold vol up and vol down on the front panel and switch set on). Thankfully ZD405 (8V2) had expired (almost s/c) and removed the red (Andy Doswell)

Sanyo Video Model: VHR776E Dead Check and replace PR512 (which is located towards the front right hand side) (T.t.r.s. - Tim)

Nikkai TV Model: BABY 10 No / int luminance Poor contacts within the service switch (John)

Sony TV (AE1 Chassis) Field non linearity and short picture Check / replace C531 (680uF, 25v), only slightly leaky, but a new one cured the fault (Anonymous)

Philips Video Model: VR200 Unit not working, no FL display, ticking from PSU, head drum twitching Electrolytic cap in PSU primary dried up (47uF, 50v) (Anonymous)

Ideal/Slx TV Model: IDTV28T/IDTV28N/SLX28T2/28N (SM2 Chassis) EW fault then set went dead (tripping), R711 on EW panel burnt Check for dry joints on C620 (0.47uF, 250V), if dry replace then check Q602 and R618 (5K6). Also it is worth replacing Q580 anytime these sets come into the workshop with a BF422 (Leonard O'Brien)

Philips TV Model: 25PT4423 (L6.2 Chassis) Stuck in standby, LED on, no HT There may be no 5V to the microprocessor. Check R3509 and D6501. Replace R3509 with a 47k 1 Watt version (4822 053 10473). D6501 is type BZX79B5V6 (4822 130 34173). Check the +150 volt rail, 145V is too low (Adel Ibrahim)

Rca TV Model: F27442 (CTC203AD5 Chassis) No picture and sound, only a high pitch sound at switch on Remove horizontal transistor and measure the resistance across any two pins. This value should be no less than 200ohms (Roughtest)

Sony TV Model: KV-M2131U (BE1 Chassis) Intermittent loss of syncronisation, both horizontal and vertical The surface mounted power transistor on the teletext module requires resoldering. As there is evidence of scorching on the board the use of a more substantial component would be indicated perhaps with small heatsink (Desmond Armstrong)

Samsung TV Model: CZ-21D83NS Double picture or raster shifted Check R414 (15K) (Leonard)

Sony TV Model: KV2565 Dead with H. output short circuit, replacment blows short again First check power area and repair dry joints then change all high voltage (PF value) capacitors in the horizontal section, this fixed the problem (Imran Khan)

Mitsubishi TV Model: CT29B2STX Various faults, dead, int. dead, poor frame, poor E-W Change all electrolytic capacitors in the primary. Check all large electrolytics in the secondary (Ie bigger that 470uF), check all capacitors around IC950 (error amp.). Most capacitors you will find are leaking electrolyte. Might be a long job!!! (Andy Doswell)

Sony Video Model: SLV-E800 No picture - screen is empty. Sound is ok Check IC101 (BA7630F), if video signal comes to input (pin 1) but not present at output (pin 14) then replace this IC (Raymundo)

Panasonic Video Model: NVHD650B Fault code F80. works occassionally then doesnt work at all There is a plastic piece on the motor which rotates when you press play or eject. A plastic cap fits on the spindle of the motor. This slips and doesnt grip the motor hence does not turn the drive gears. Just glue or replace the part (use loctite or super glue) (Dal)

Philips TV (A10 Chassis) Procedure to view customer service menu Press Mute button on handset and any button on the TV, hold for a few seconds and menu will appear (Joe)

Ferguson Video Model: FV105HV Vcr dead, slow oscillation in p.s.u Replace CP007 and CP008 close to the U4614B (Found this tip posted under Thomson VPH6601 which seems to have the same PSU) (Anonymous)

Philips TV Model: 32PW6526-05 (SA10E Chassis) Procedure to exit child lock with pin unknown / "locked" displayed on screen Switch set on, press menu, select feature and press enter, select parental lock and press enter, then enter the code 0, 7, 1, 1 twice, the lock should now have cleared (Josh)

Fermendi TV (F19 Chassis) Procedure to invoke service mode I have used this method and it works (supplied from the makers manual). With tv off, hold volume up button on tv, switch tv on and keep holding volume up button whilst pressing standby on remote (this must be done within 4 secs of switch on) at no time let volume go, press the yellow memory button on the handset to store (Steve Taylor)

Toshiba TV Model: 28W23B (11AK37 Chassis) Procedure to enter the service mode Press the menu button then 4,7,2,5 (Josh)

Toshiba TV Model: 28W23B (11AK37 Chassis) Picture displaced vertically, picture too high or low This problem was cured by entering the service mode (menu then 4,7,2,5), then pressing the green fastext button to access geometry settings, selecting VP1 (vertical position) and adjusting as necessary (Josh)

Sony TV (BE3D Chassis) Procedure to enter the service mode Press standby, i, 5, vol+ and tv (TT should now be displayed on the screen indicating the set is in the service mode) (Josh)

Grundig TV (CUC7301/3 Chassis) Power supply blown This is often caused by a dry joint at C669 in the snubber network but also check the mains bridge rectifiers reservoir capacitor (47uF, 385v) for o/c, this item is not included in the ususal p.s.u repair kits and if not checked may result in a repeat blow up !
