Hello,
TXH1970X/XAA Samsung (FUNAI)
This TV was made in September, 1999. The following problem began
occuring December 2002.
I no longer receive RF channels 2-6. Just snow. Channels 7+ are good.
My antenna is good, I have tried replacement antennas and it had no
effect. I read online that the problem is a faulty solder joint in the
tuner. Upon inspection, the tuner appears to have cold solder joints.
Before I resolder the bad looking connections, are there any second
opinions on the fault of this TV? Any tips concerning how to solder
that small of an area?
Also, are TV tuners swappable from other TVs, or are they brand and
model specific? How much do replacements run?
Thanks,
Blake
