Let's all share information to fellow tv engineers.

[tv john]

I have been self-employed as a tv/video engineer for 27 years and in the past,relied on the TELEVISION
magazine for new faults.Now things are changing and all genuine repairers must club together with information. I don't have the time to sit in front of my wife's computer all day searching for clues to faults. If every one of us could spend 1 hour a week posting new and previous faults somewhere on this
site , then things might get going.
A recent let-down for me was quoting £160 for a 37 inch LG with a blown power panel  ,the customer procastinated over the decision and claimed to find an answer on the net.She said her man would get the parts and fit them himself[sm components as well]. I will phone back in a month or so, like a salesman to see what the outcome was.

Can someone get the ball rolling,because euras don't have all that much info.

What was the part number on the PSU?

[mulja]

I agree with you 
it`s is why i made this website to join all tv ingeniers together  to help each other
and exchange with information like Repair faults,Service manuals
And  have the website like that you can safe our time

Time change all the time new and new technology come on the market
and we must learn something new all the time and why not join our power together.

Hi Tv John,

   Have been mending tellies since the '50's and still have lots of great ideas about replacing EY51/SU61/U25's in oil filled Murphys and in triple diode Mullard projection units.

    Seriously though, this site seems the best of the business hopefully with our serious telly mending input. The old, much loved, TV mag with it's all too frequent fault report repetitions (suspect no-one in publishing actually read them), and towards the end  (but not with that short-lived reincarnation that was quite the business, but didn't pay) was a bit of a Dino - well didn't realise at the time, but Quuq seems the business.

Yes this is a OLD topic but as usall with some forums,the actual topic is not followed or any GOOD info given;what a TV serias have got to do with it I don't know. EURAS does not have all the answers but neither do this or any forum,it seems that no one reas through all the posts. Whaty woul be a better iea woul to post any and all faults in seperate sections under the make/chassis name which would make it easier to find any help?

hello Car19,

  Read everything, and have files on all repairs admitted. Check all new entries and give advice as seems appropriate.

 Doing one's best  - Chris - semi retired, but the young wife seems to need constant house re-decorations.

I agree with you, but it's difficult to find time . I suggest members post their problems(faults) when the solution is found it's necessary to explain the steps. I'm also service technician for an international firm in dental apparatus and have LCD and plasma decomentary but have no right to uplaod because protected . BUT can I will help to post components references or simply to give the solution if possible.

Hi Folks,

Suggest, as we probably all have a data base of faults, we might incorporate a Wikky'ish basis where faults and remedies might be discussed and perhaps modified in favour of developments.

Keen for it, and that new Freeview test card is great  - Chris.

[car19]

YES I agree with TV John its a pity the so called makers don't agree. If any emgineer get a "Morrisons" special in made by "NEON" there are spares available from a company that deals in the make of "NEON" and others. The phone number is 0871 228 4775 and the technision is called Clark ,so ask for him after getting through to the switch boar

Hi Sparky,

Was far more fun soldering up the system switches on G500s, and trying to keep certain CTV25s from bursting into flames, they eventually supplied 'Davy-lamp' cages but no budgie for audible warning, so the odd set was crisped down to it's tasteful legs - ah those old simple days, with fresh toast to go with the tea - Chris.
