For PCBs I'd use an acid.

Lemon juice works fine.

Or vinegar.

I have an RCA rear projection TV P46725SK - set is plugged in and was
working fine until today when I tried to turn it on. I can hear a
faint "click click click" from the vicinity of the flyback transformer
when the power button is pressed. The power light blinks in unison
with the clicking sound. I'd like to fix this puppy since I don't have
the cash for a new TV right now and it's so heavy I dread getting it
out of the house. Help!

Hi...

If dollars are at all tight; you might want to look
in your local for sale newsgroups, or buy and sell
papers.

Seems that here at least, there are often people
upgrading their appliances, and offering the old
ones for very very little. Usually intending them
for cottages.

Grab one for much much less than a 100 bucks, use
the thermostat from it, and get a few more spare parts
as a bonus.

Take care.

Ken

Doesn't anyone even bother to read some of the recent postings or do a
Google Groups search before asking the same question?

This happens ALL the time. Take the recent Sony low volume sound
issue. There has been a thread going for a couple of days with all the
information for the common problem, and someone posts the exact same
question for an almost identical model number today. A quick Google
search for "Sony low volume" brings up lots of hits as well.

Either people are too dumb or lazy to read recent posting, or they
simply do not know how to use a computer search engine. I am not sure
I would want anyone trying to fix a tv set that cannot figure out how
to read or use a search engine. It does take some basic minimal
technical skill to use a search engine, far less than actually working
on a tv set.

That's a CTC-169. It is a good chassis, a bit old now. Was the picture
good, and did everything else work well before it developed the
problem? The good news is...you don't have to remove the entire set.
The internal light box, 70 pounds or so, is removeable, so a
technician can simply come to your house and remove the chassis, take
it to the shop, repair it, and return it. This chassis can be a bear
to troubleshoot if you don't have the pertinent service information
available, though.

I also would suggest that, especially in this stressed day-and-age,
people have insufficient time on their hands to do much research. I
have been forced time and time again to post before Googling...no time
to wait, son's baseball game in 15 minutes, check back later quickly
for an answer. Dumb may be a bit strong too; I, for example, wasn't
born knowing about Search Engines (obviously, having been born in
1956). I did learn about how to use them, am almost 49, and have seen
people successfully learn this stuff in their 70's.

It really wouldn't hurt anyone either new to computers, or who don't
feel they are as adept as they should be, to take a course in PC's and
the Internet. The Internet is a huge library, but it doesn't use the
Dewey Decimal Classification System that some of us middle-age and
older folks are much more familiar with.

I remember a few CTC 169's with the sound output IC shorted.
That could cause it to go into the shutdown mode. Suggestion,
remove the power for the audio IC and see if the TV will start.

I have a Kenmore induction cooktop that is about 18 years old, OEM from
Sanyo. Some of the power transistors are blown. The only marking is
T30G40.

FWIW, I'm guessing the transistor is a Shindengen part.

Throw it in the back of your Model-A and take it to a dump.

Or monitor recycling center.

Hi,

I just recovered the old monitor that I used to use for my C64 and
later for my game systems. After recovering it, I tried to use it with
my vintage NES. When I turned it on, I had major trouble adjusting the
color, but everything else more or less worked. I opened the case to
try to clear any gunk that had accumulated near the front, but after
reassembling it , I get nothing on the screen. Just black. (Audio works
better than before though )

Is there something obvious that might have happened? Is it dead? Is
there a way that I can verify it's dead?

ps. I'm an electronics n00b.

Thanks, but I'm just going to have to buy the
whole assembly, mine is going to cost me $100+
because, it's a 20 year old, Glenwood.

I see whole stoves for free on freecycle.org so why not keep one out of the
dump? Maybe you can find a similar stove even?

Sorry, just kidding. Actually I have very fond memories of
my =C64.. I learned 65xx assembly language on it (anyone
remember HESMON?)

Anyway, if you've never tried one of the Commodore
emulators (e.g. MAME32) they are a kick and a half.

Does Mame emulate a C64?

How many things did you unplug while in there? Just remove the cover again
and re-check all the connections that may have become unconnected. That's
about it. I doubt you killed it.

p.s. You have some voltage (you are getting sound) but no high voltage at
the tube. Check the connector at the back of the tube, and any wires going
from the tube to the circuit board.

Don't shock yourself, you can die trying to fix a $1 monior

I'm just trying to squeeze a little more life out of this monitor. It
always had a MUCH better picture for video game systems than any TV I'd
seen.

It's an RGB Monitor. Reopen it, deconnect everything, make sure that you
haven't damaged the board (carefully inspect it) nor any component(S) on it.
Reconnect all the connectors in the right place, ON !
