Title: thomson faulty
Post by: smoothie on October 20, 2008,14:00:37

hi all im new here, wonder if someone can give me some advise, i've got a 32vk25 i think it is, its a 32 widescreen, icc17. the problem is a couple of months ago the screen went bright and the picture faded out, still had sound but no picture it would come back so i left it off and not touched it , well i tried it today and it worked fine for about 5 minutes and then it went onto stanby, and now it won't turn off.
when you press the power button the red light comes on and the when you turn the on button the remote the led goes to amber the screen flashes but don,t come on and then the led just flashes amber/green. any advise would be great its only a spear tv but seems a shame to throw it away. thanks

Usually in ICC17 chassis this problem occurs due to FBT. Switch off room light & observe area near FBT for spark!   :chok:

If you count the blinks this is usually an indication of where the fault is, if it's 2 and 7 then its probably the LOPTX but  I would fit the kit for reliabilty.

I'd think the set would be flashing 25, 26 or 27. As said before the the loptx is probably the casue, The kit refered to by "brainstorm" is (I think at least) for the replacement Loptx.

it doesnt improve reliablilty, just makes a certain type of loptx able to be fitted, if the kit has been fitted then always use that type, if however the original part has failed (which is highly unlikly on an 1cc17) then its best/easiest to use HR1873.

If its still making the arking noise, fit a new tube base holder.

Just to let you know I have fitted lots of these Loptx in the past, and on a few occasions where I have fitted JUST the Loptx I have had the set "bounce" back and usually there is a ICP that has gone open circuit, so I started fitting the Loptx kit and I have had no bounce backs!
It's up to you which you fit, you pay your money and take your chances
