RCA PTK195 loses control

Jul 24, 2006 2 Replies

Hi. Got a PTK195 here. Fixed bad solder joints in horizontal and replaced shorts HOT. Runs good but loses control after a short time. As it is a 60 incher in the owners house, who had to get back to work, I haven't had time to dig deep.



It loses response to remote and front panel. I figured next visit I would disconnect control panel and see how it does. Just looking for a little input on this.



Thanks in advance, Danny


The 195 series has an easily removable light box, just pull it-one man job. The FPAs are known to have leaky switches. Replace the contacts or the whole board.

Cool. Thought it may be that, just haven't seen that symptom before. Owner hasn't had time for me to get back over and try that. Maybe Saturday morning if I can catch him.

I've seen a kind of similar problem where channels climb up or down by themselves. I've got a full set oif the tiny switches, unused, that I got for another guy but he hasn't shown, so I'll put in this one.

Cheers, Danny
