Hitachi C1719T TV with power(?) problems

Folks,

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

My daughter has a Hitachi model C1719T TV receiver with a problem. Nothing appears on the screen - it remains completely black. There's no sound either. I don't know if this screen has a cold cathode (do you get such TV tubes?), but I can't see any heater coming on, and I can't find any voltage around the tube base. The two numbers on this Philips tube are : A41EAM11X01 / TL2D063401. The set generates UHT, because I hear it whistle momentarily when the power is switched off.

Although I fixed my own TV several years ago (thanks to a Canadian guy called Sam - can't remember his surname - who was a regular contributor to the group!), I don't know much outside of the theory of TV's, and when I look at the board, I don't know enough to recognise where the various circuit elements are - and I don't have a schematic for it.

With the back of the board towards me and the components on the top, the mains cable comes in on the left side, with a fuse just beside it (not blown), but I can't even find the rectifier. Is it a 4-pin chip, or does it use discrete diodes? Is it near to the mains cable and the fuse? It would make sense!

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.

Likely the flyback transformer, but look here:

Thanks very much, Rono,

There's a fault listed on the same TV model on one of the links you gave, with the same basic symptom = "Dead". They call out a capacitor. It's a long shot (well, a medium-range shot, perhaps), but I'll check it.

All the Best,

Mike.

Thanks Art, but I think you're assuming a knowledge of TV's rather more than I have. It's difficult to take voltage readings without being able to identify the component groups that I'm measuring! Even on the systems I work on (mainframe-attached RAID arrays), I need a schematic, so in a TV, with which I am completely unfamiliar, I just don't know my way around enough to do it without one.

I think another contributor just may have offered something that may help, however.

Thanks for taking the time.

Mike.
