Ah, I'd missed the fact you'd done that diagnostic. I wonder if you
can disassemble and clean the switch module?

If the TV now powes up with the FPA disconnected, you can continue to
run it that way with no problem, or you can replace the tacts:

Acme has what you need. Go to their website and search ACME-302. I
guess you can't post URLs, but try Acme(dash)sales(dot)net

This is the correct tact for that series, change all of them (probably
six).

The 195 was made from about 1997 to 2002, so there are different ways
of getting to the front panel assy (assuming you don't already have it
out), but all are done from the front of the TV. The process involves
removing the front speaker grille, and snapping the control panel out
by releasing the plastic fingers that locate it to the front grille.
There are no screws or other fasteners involved. After removing the
old tacts, clean the pc under the tacts with a cleaner before
installing the new ones.

Thanks again John. Let me know if you ever need a hand with an arcade
game. Ted

Thanks for nothing plainbill. I never stated it was a combo microwave
tv. I stated both went so that you would know it was probably a
problem from an electric surge being that two thing went at the same
time. I did give the chassis number and the model of the tv I cant
help it if you cant read. The link you sent me was not in english and
would not convert to english so that was useless. Whos the doofus now.
Thanks everyone else for your help. Ted
My point exactly. You claimed it was a PTK 195 chassis, of course, it

actually is a PTK195. In spite of that bit of misinformation, I was
able to identify the source for the Photofact manuals.

As for the site being in Polish, of course it is; it's located in
Poland. However, anyone with s bit of competance (yes, this probably
excludes you) would not that major headings are in both Polish and
English.

I stand by my evaluation of your abilities, Doofus.

Actually, one of my very best friends has been in the vending business
for a very long time, and I fix his CRT monitors for him. Of course,
the business isn't what it was, and he's getting into other things. I
will however take you up on your offer if we ever get stuck on
something and can use some extra help.

Enjoy that 195 (for probably another 10 years).

John
