Question about RCA D52W19 52" Rear Projection Television
The input jack coming out of my TV has broken off and I cannot attach my cable coming from the wall to the TV to get cable channels. Can this piece be replaced and is it something I can do? I am pretty good with electronics and if it is just a matter of getting the composite piece and plugging in into a slot and putting the panel back on the TV, I can do this. Tell me if it is way too complicated for me so I can have a service person to take care of it or should I call RCA, get the repair peice ordered thru the mail? Thanks Oyama
If you are comfortable doing some small repair work, you might be able to fix this with stuff you have laying around.
All you need is:
1 - 8" piece of coaxial cable with male connector on one end
1 - set of RCA cables (Red/White/Yellow)
1 - coaxial coupler
2 - small wire nuts
electrical tape
Take
the back housing off of your TV. You may have to unscrew the small nut
holding the threaded connector to the TV. This threaded connector
should connect to the motherboard with a male RCA prong that should be
soldered to the component on the motherboard. You will need to
carefully cut
& remove the old soldering & wiggle the
connector off. This is the hardest part, but it WILL come off with a
little trying.
Now get your coax cable and strip off about 2" of
the black outside housing ONLY. Your solid copper` interior cable
should be protected by a small plastic coating which is covered in
braided wire. You'll need to be careful not to cut the braiding off.
Untangle the braiding down to where your cut stops and try and get it
all on one side of the cable so you can twist it all together and make
a nice wire. Now strip about an inch off of your interior plastic
sheathing to reveal the small solid copper wire on the very inside.
Get
your RCA cable and cut about 6" off of the one yellow side. Follow the
same process above to get a braided sheathing wire and a solid copper
wire. Attach this yellow wire to the coaxial cable by twisting the two
braided wires together and the two solid copper wires together. Use
your wire nuts & electrical tape to secure your connections making
sure none of the wires can touch each other.
Connect the yellow
cable's male prong into the component on the motherboard and attach
your coaxial coupler to the male end of your coaxial cable. If you
saved the small nut from earlier, you can re-attach this new coupler to
the housing on your TV. Screw your housing back on the TV and you
should be good to go.

This kind of repair ussually involves soldering because this part is normally attached to the tuner,you can also use a vcr to conect the signal and change the channels from the vcr this way you dont have to get it repair,the imput of the tv has to be changed to EXT.1 or EXT.2 and use the RCA imputs.Your call! Good luck.

You should be able to repair that replace the "F" connector you should easily be able to find one at a place like Radio Shack for around 2 bucks

If your cable looks like the one in BigLou79's photo *and* broke off from the coaxial end & not from the BNC connector, there are coaxial couplers that require no soldering (they screw on), however these couplers may or may not work, depending on where the break is and how bad the coaxial cable was damaged. I'm merely suggesting an easier more economical fix that may or may not be a perminate fix. Like someone else said, it's up to you how far you want to go. Just trying to give more options! Worked for me when a coax cable connector broke on my RCA Rear Projection TV. Good luck!

My Coaxial cable broke and i dont wanna shell out alot of money to fix it. I heard about a piece of tech that just broadcasts the channels through the component inputs on the back (Yellow, Red, & White inputs). does such a thing even exist and if so what is the name and estimate price?
Same problem with my RCA D52W19B. Input jack broken off.
yellow input cord broke off inside the hole can it be pulled out cleverly
Although somewhat helpful, I found the above description odd in that the yellow cable was mentioned. I have a TV with the coaxle threaded male input has simply been nroken out of the small metal box. The hole is clean. I bought the F connector at Radio shack as the second post mentions. My only questions, are, am I going to get shocked, and do I need to remove the 1/2" X 2" X 2" box from the circuit board? The F connector has two nuts, does one need to be on the inside of that box? Whre does the other go, just outside of that box, or on back panel?

for females who don't solder or have excessive tools i need to find a vcr that excepts a screw type hex connector for the co ax cable.
I also have the same problem, but my input jack is really loose so when the tv is moved the picture goes out. But when the picture is good we get a static sound on certain stations. I am wondering can the whole tuner be replaced without calling a repairman? Do you also know the part number that I may need? Thankyou Chuck Marble
