Hi Bigblock, welcome to the forum. I am glad you joined..



Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

Not yet, i figured I would have better luck in here.I'm sure I can fix it with a little info.I am very good at trouble shooting& sodering. I just thought It may be a common problem?

I don't know about the 'little info' thing, bigblock but a schematic is most reliable obtaining from the manufacturers

ok, I will give that a try(manufacturer), I just thought someone on here may have had the same problem in the past. Thanks

rca has been a big problem.i see this all day long you have a problem in switch mode power supply.it also is noted for the high voltage circuit can cause this.this can not be fixed in home has to be shopped and hope you can get parts.theirs is no longer support.rca is own by an investment company they have a few other tv lines also no backup support.you by it you own it. thats their answer. i have a few choice other names for rca but not on this web site if you get my drift.so good luck hope can get it fixed.

No back-up support?? I mean, can this be legal? Isn't there a law in the US where manufacturers are obligated to at least supply spare parts for a certain period of time?

was seven years. under free trade agreement it doesnt seem to applied.tv was mfg 1994 well past that.

OK, 7 years. I suppose that's reasonable. Still one would expect a tv to work for more than that and still have parts available if there are faulty ones. But OK. Probably may not expect too much.....
