My RCA TV works fine with the manual controls (push buttons) on the front of the set. When I use a Remote Control..it causes the picture to break up wide white horizontial lines and then black out for a second. The picture then returns on the same channel and at the same volume level (no change). It doesn't matter what key on the remote I press volume, channel mute etc. the result is the same. The TV also seems to pick up non-RCA remote transmissions and has a similar but not as pronounced result...same horizontal lines but not as strong.
I am thinking that I may have created a solder bridge somewhere but I have looked and not found anthing. Can anyone tell me which IC and which leg on the IC might look at?
I did solder in a another reciever from a junk set onto the controls board and still had the problem ... I have tried flexing the small board that the controls are on..I don't see any cracks or get any arc. I don't see much on the board other that 2 resistors and one Cap..and seeing as how the manual switches all work. I'm thinking it's on the main board HELP!!
