    I just received a RCA P46730WK (chassis PTK169PCA) for free. I have been repeatedly assured that it was in perfect working condition before I picked it up. It was lacking a power cable, so I ordered one (and a new remote just in case). The set will not turn on with either remote (new or old) or the power button on the front. The clear glass fuse inside the back panel near the power input appears fine - wire is intact, no fog on the glass.



    The set hasn't been powered up for weeks... do these sets need to "charge" prior to power up? Could something have been shaken loose during the move? We were very careful moving it and it was tightly secured in the truck for the trip.



    Can I test the power-up by just plugging it into the wall, or should it run through the cable box with all cables connected?

  • Shell737 May 14, 2008

    I hit the on button and nothing happens. I checked the power plugs and all are working for the other components sitting on top of the TV such as a tuner and DVD player. Could it be a power switch problem or perhaps a fuse of some kind?

  • Shell737 May 14, 2008

    Sorry I forgot to tell you the tv model...RCA P46729BA, chassis PTK169PCA. The on switch isn't working. what now?

    My GE 46GW947 Rear Projection TV is dead in the water. I checked the fuse on the main board and it was blown. I replaced it and it blew again. I'm seeing a short on the bridge rectifier. I'm going to remove it and see if the short is still there. If it is, then I'll go back to another solid state device I'm seeing the same short on. I hope it works!

Now I'm not sayinf this is your specific problem, however, in my 20+years and my fathers 40+ years experience, RCA and GE had a common problem where the flyback and/or the trippler would go short in the RPTV's causing the TV not to work. For the past 10 years or so we havn't been able to locate replacement parts for these problems, and if one could, I would expect to pay $70-$160 just for the parts! Again, this may not be your specific problem, my father has come across the short rectifier problem a couple times, but this is not as common as the flyback/trippler.This may be an area to explore and i hope it helps, even just to give ones mind a break. Good luck, emphasis on "luck".

RCA P46924 46 in rear projection tv will not turn on

More than likely it has bad solder connections on the circuit board. You could try tapping lightly on power supply/deflection boards to see if it makes contact. Usually I find bad solder on those right under where the power cord plugs in, on the bottom of the board. If you have a soldering iron and solder you could save a few hundred dollars in repair costs, but use caution and make sure all power to set is disconnected. Maybe mark each plug as you disconnect them. Hope this helps. Good luck, Russmann.

Power problem on a RCA big screen TV

Even with the tv turned off, the power supply is still active.It's supplying voltages to the microcontroler, that's why each time you press the power button on remote the tv respond by turning on. First check the power cord to be well connected in the power-bar and if it's ok...well the power supply is defective and due to the high risk of electric shock i suggest you to call a technicien.
P.S. I respond here because I don't know why our chat session got disconected.
