When I turn on my set it comes right on for about 30 seconds and then the screen goes to snow,then about 5 minutes later it will come back on. sometimes it stays on and sometimes it will go to snow again.Usually it is fine after it warms up and stays on the rest of the time.
Is the symptom still "Pix blacks out when cold,sound ok" ?
Then pull chassis,solder any/all bad connects ( look for signs of
over-heating = dis-coloration ) or leakage from capacitors = dark
area around + or - that smells when soldered (electrolytic acid).
Vent away from nose! = poisonous fumes!! Old Mits TV's are
known for bad caps in power supply circuits......T.
Keep in touch.......
Snow basically is a symptom of weak signal. as you say it becomes ok after 5 minutes or so there no question of any components gone wrong except loose or print intermittent please check. 1 input weak like cable or antenna or loose wire from the source.. 2 in tv antennae socket loose. 3 near tuner any thing loose or track loose. 4 cable wire might be old. hope this will help.

I have all new cables ,When it comes on everything is fine for about 30 seconds or so. As of yesterday it isn't snow, it is just black and I can hear the audio....This is exactly what happens......I turn on the set (everything is fine) about 30 seconds later the screen goes black but I can hear the audio. Then about 5 minutes later the video comes back on. Lately though the set has been doing it a third time. After it goes through its little ritual it is fine until I turn it back on after being off for a while (It seems to do this until the set warms up.
I hope this describes the problem better.
