-   Hi - we have a 60 in Pioneer Pro-200 and the tv will turn on for about 5 min - then a "pop" sounds and the tv will go off. If anyone has any ideas on what the problem is - whether it is a fuse - resistor or something else that I can repair myself - your advice would be greatly appreciated ! -   DaveB123

Have been trying to get a repair man to come to our house.-   Guest
Since the set needs to be diagnosed you have to take it into a repair shop.
Your specific problem indicates that a component is heating up then
opening or closing to it's natural state. It is not a fuse or
resistor. Obviously fuses can be reset or new one put in but when it
comes to the smaller elements (resistors, transistors, capacitors) if they "pop" they are destroyed, so since you can turn the set on later this should not be the case.
For a power surge just use a surge protector to see if this remedies the situation, not to mention they help keep the set "healthier" due to brown-outs, etc.
You could also open the back up and watch what happens - see if there is a flash and get back with me. But a word of CAUTION, there is high voltage, so don't touch anything inside when the set is on or for at least 5 minutes afterward (let the capacitors discharge).

Lost A/V with a pop. After I turn the TV off, when I push the power button, I get the red light, followed by green, but then it clicks back to red immediately. Unplugging and waiting does not change the situation. Other postings note either a bad pcb or bad soldering on the pcb. Is this the likely problem?
