RCA P60928 PTK195 Chassis no power

If the TV now powes up with the FPA disconnected, you can continue to run it that way with no problem, or you can replace the tacts:

Acme has what you need. Go to their website and search ACME-302. I guess you can't post URLs, but try Acme(dash)sales(dot)net

This is the correct tact for that series, change all of them (probably six).

The 195 was made from about 1997 to 2002, so there are different ways of getting to the front panel assy (assuming you don't already have it out), but all are done from the front of the TV. The process involves removing the front speaker grille, and snapping the control panel out by releasing the plastic fingers that locate it to the front grille. There are no screws or other fasteners involved. After removing the old tacts, clean the pc under the tacts with a cleaner before installing the new ones.

Ah, I'd missed the fact you'd done that diagnostic. I wonder if you can disassemble and clean the switch module?

Thanks again John. Let me know if you ever need a hand with an arcade game. Ted

My point exactly. You claimed it was a PTK 195 chassis, of course, it actually is a PTK195. In spite of that bit of misinformation, I was able to identify the source for the Photofact manuals.

As for the site being in Polish, of course it is; it's located in Poland. However, anyone with s bit of competance (yes, this probably excludes you) would not that major headings are in both Polish and English.

I stand by my evaluation of your abilities, Doofus.

Actually, one of my very best friends has been in the vending business for a very long time, and I fix his CRT monitors for him. Of course, the business isn't what it was, and he's getting into other things. I will however take you up on your offer if we ever get stuck on something and can use some extra help.

Enjoy that 195 (for probably another 10 years).

John
