    OTA signal loss on one channel only?

    Try switching outputs on your splitter. Maybe it has a problem. Try an inline amplifier. It will help boost any minor problems in the cable runs. Remember the less splitters and connectors the better. Every connection or splitter is a 3 db loss of signal.

    Videp drop out

    This type of problem is very hard to troubleshoot. I had a hatichi LCD that was doing the same thing. I got a service manual and started tracing the circuit. I thought the lamp power supply had problems. My problem was the switch on the access door for the lamp was loosing its ground. The ground...

    Sony 46XBR4 Shadow Problem

    This is an internal problem. Possibly just some cold solder joints, or not, but will get worse with time. Have it checked at a reliable shop.

    Cancelling Service and Setting up Service with Different Name

    When I moved from Florida a few years ago my account was in my wife's name. We had put the account on hold paying a small fee per month. When I had dish installed in my new house I wanted HD and was told I was an existing customer and would not get new sub discounts. I opened an account in my...

    Wireless headphones for TV

    One feature to look for in the design is an open or closed design. An open design allows some of the sound to escape from behind the speaker. Although it is not very loud, If your wife is a light sleeper and you are listening to a loud scene, it could wake her. A closed design does not allow...

    Toshiba 50H81 issue

    Pull the screen off. Clean the back of the screen, mirror and surface of picture tubes. Use a flashlight and shine into the picture tubes. If there is burn-in you will be able to see it on the surface of the tube. Good Luck.

    Broken LCD TV - Repair Question - LG 42LB1DR

    It sounds to me that the LCD display panel has been damaged. I would assume that it would not be worth repairing.

    Replacing Power Jack in Laptop

    That will work as long as a gentle touch is used. Too much pressure before it is heated all the way through will lift the copper run from the board and possibly break it. It is tedious as each pin will only move a little bit until the next is heated and pushed out as they are all connected to...

    Replacing Power Jack in Laptop

    As I was reading the last few posts it dawned on me. The circuit board has plated thru holes. This means that the copper plating goes all the way from the top to the bottom of the board thru the hole. The only effective way to remove the solder is with a solder removing pump. You will need to...

    Replacing Power Jack in Laptop

    Go to a local electronics store or radio shack and get some "solder wick". They make cheap one's and then there is the solder wick brand. The cheap ones do work, but not as good as the real stuff, so for a novice, I would try to get the good stuff. It is a braid of copper wire treated with a...

    Sony Power Up Question

    The set should be watchable within a minute of power up. Your problem is within the power supply that controls the back lighting for the set. These power supplies are a switching power supply. I have seen a lot of these manufactured with standard capacitors. A standard capacitor cannot take the...

    What causes speakers to pop?

    A loud pop in the speakers is one of two things. 1. DC voltage from the amp instead of the normal AC.(If this is the case the amp is slowly burning the voice coils of the speakers.) 2. a large spike to the input of the amp. (This would be less common, but possible.) In either case the protection...

    Moving An Old Style Rear Projection Television

    If you pull the screen and look inside at the bottom and see three round tubes. One red, blue and green if the set is on, it probably has the fluid inside the tubes. Also, if you have the screen off you can do a test before moving. Have a towel handy, with help tilt the set to the side while...

    Moving An Old Style Rear Projection Television

    I would not recommend turning an old rptv on it's side. It has a liquid more like a gel inside each picture tube between the tube and the focal lens for cooling. Most of these tube assemblies are not sealed very well. If it leaks out, it could cause corrosion or short out parts on circuit board...

    Remove the soldering

    A better description of your device is needed. Size, thickness. Maybe a photo. I would guess that the optics would need to be removed. Soldering or removal of solder requires that the metals are heated to a temp that melts the solder. I your optics are glass they may have a chance. If they are...

    Question about "Cars" branded TV set shutting off.

    If you or someone you know is proficient in soldering, a lot of problems are caused by parts heating up and creating a bad or cold solder joint. Years ago when I had my electronics repair shop probably 1/3 of the TV sets were fixed by re-soldering bad spots. Any solder joints that have what...

    Queston On Lines In Picture

    In a tube set, this is usually the green tube or gun shorting out. Eventually the picture will end up with a green tint that you cannot adjust out if this is the case. Hope this is not your problem.
