AHH...TV Freakout?!...? I have a RCA Stereo Floor Console model tv
I have a RCA Stereo Floor Console model tv set. I love this tv and don't want to buy another...so don't communicate me that!!
My problem is this...I was watching it and here were a few grey lines that started across the peak, then it go black and there is one silver chain across the middle of the tv....from left to right. I call a service repair guy and he said that it was the "Vertical Spec Chip" or something close to that had burned out.
Can anyone explain to me what to be precise...and about how much would it cost to fix it? Just an estimate will be fine...I only just want to know about how much I may hold to spend!! TY!!
Answers:
You would have done better asking the TV repair guy while you have him on the phone. The model number would help alot, RCA have been making TVs for various many years. If it have a line across it is feasible the vertical circuit, could be a capacitor, a diode, a transistor, or integrated circuit, or maybe even lately loose solder connections.
Hard to give estimate minus looking at TV, but would guess between 100 and 150 to fix at a TV shop.
