CTC175A - Is this the tuner problem?

Oct 08, 2005 4 Replies

When first turned on, everything is OK.Several minutes later, picture is fuzzy/wormy. Eventually (like 2 hours later), picture clears up but audio has loud buzz. Eventually this clears up too.



Thanks in advance.

LOL "Classic" but not in a good way?

Well in a sense it's good, because it's a well documented problem which makes it easy to diagnose and repair.

Easy to repair with the proper skills and equipment.

Not recommended for the person who has only soldered a few times in thier life. For the novice who wants to attempt the repair, getting a hold of a junk circuit board for any device with surface mount components is good practice before starting. Reading the information at the repairfaq for the ctc177 chassis series will also help.

I cannot stress enough the proper temperature on the soldering iron for the job.
