Make	Model Ch.	Symptom	Problem Solution
Samsung	CB5035Z	Stuck in osd mode, no functions	Change the eprom, check that the earthing of the green cable running from tuner is OK
Salora	M	Procedure to enter service mode	Press P then * then 0/AV then # then >M * and # change function Vol+ and Vol- change value >M store current value TV exit service mode 1..7 and . bytes option
Philips	27CE4599-33R 2A	No sound, with sound at maximum you can hear a weak noise	Change IC7102 U2830B if found, if not U2829B, this IC is located on the sound demod pcb
Sony	KV27EXR25	No raster, the set will click on but no high voltage	Replaced IC651 on the power board type STRS6301 Note: Use an original STRS6301, not an STRS6301A unless the 6301A comes from SONY This part does run very hot
Philips	VR723 LUCY	Power supply LSM-45 would not start up after power failure	Cooling down of the machine during the power outtage triggered the problem: inside the supply module excessive heat is present that causes components to age rapidly, especially those that are located close to the heatsink. Replaced cap. 2116 100nF, 400V
Philips	VR722 LUCY	LSM-45 power supply faulty after power failure	Replaced elco 2112 100µF, 385V and capacitor 2116 100nF, 400V. See also my tip about the philips VR-723 Cooling down during power outtage. Cheers
Aiko / Perdio	512	Excessive brightness with flybacks	Check capacitor C120 2uF, 250V in first anode supply
Toshiba	217D98	Severe field distortion	Check capacitor C317 2.2uF, 50V in linearity feedback circuit
Mitsubishi	CT29B2STX	Line output transistor s/c, repeated failure	Replace the four caps in the power supply C905 470uF, 35V, C906 470uF, 50V, C909 2.2uF, 50V and C920 100uF, 25V also note transistor varies with different size c.r.t.
Zenith	D32D51	Reddish picture	Replaced Transistor Q2005 Type 2N3906 shorted
Hinari	CDTV2	Power supply fault, clicking noise, nothing else	Check C629 100uF, 25v for o/c
Hitachi	VT530E etc	Playback picture freezes repeatedly when warm / capstan motor overhaul	This symptom is usually due to contamination of the capstan motor bearing which can in turn lead to overheating of the drive chip, the problem can often be remedied by dismantalling the motor and thoroughly cleaning the bearing then lightly lubricating with a suitable light oil before reassembly
Goldstar	CIT-9322	Volume down control on the set will not work	Everything else worked fine on this rather old model except the volume down control i didn't have the handset to see if this was also the case via the remote. The cure was to replace the micro IC1 which was an M491BB1
Sharp	66FW53 widescreen DA-100 , 50 and 100Hz series	E/W fault	Coil L603 part num RCILP0286BMZZ had severely burnt up and Q506 E/W driver 2SD2391 Part num RH-TX0151BMZZ was short circuit. If you have this fault check L604 for invisible dry joints, if you don't you may find you still have an E/W fault when you have replaced the faulty parts
Philips	14PV163	Reverts to standby from switch on via TV or Video	No 5v rail because FET MTP3055 o/c. BUZ71 will do nicely
Toshiba	Video Combi Model: VTV1402S	Dead, or intermittent start up. No voltage supply to line driver	Check R504 270k, feed to switching transistor. Goes high or o/c
Sanyo	CBP2580	The word "factory" in a red box is permanently displayed on screen and sound volume goes from 0% to 50% to 100%	Enter service mode, go down to nvm and press volume plus on remote
Goodmans	1476TS	Set reverts to standby at switch-on	Check 200v line on tube base for short cct. I901 TDA6103Q goes s/c
Vestel	6392	Field collapse no vertical deflection. No sound	Replaced resistor R818 15k, 1w which was o/c. This resistor is the limiter for the 33v tuning voltage
Vestel	11AK19	Procedure to enter service mode	Go to installation menu, then press 4,7,2,5
