RCA 52" rear projection tv

If total dead (no lights on blinking etc) follow power cord into the set and find and check the main fuse--in this set it usually is a glass 5 amp fuse.

if a rca as indicated I would not fix it===very poorly made sets.

does the power light flash three times slowly then stay off? If so chances are its just the CP150, cp120 and CP114 capacitors. There is the RCA repair kit by that same name available from www.tvrepairworld.com which has the capacitors and the CD with repair instructions

Check the convergence IC's for cold solders, check for leaking capacitors in the area. Check the voltage regulator with a Variac.

Usually these sets just need the 2 big convergence IC's replaced with new ones. Clean all 3 picture tube lenses, mirror and screen. Get the original RCA remote that came with the set and MANUALLY align the convergence.

Rarely the bow on the bottom of the screen is not repairable.

A capacitor is building up power and then when there is too much power it discharges turning the tv back on without you hitting the power button. The tv will need to be repaired by a service tech however get a quote and then decide whether it is better to just buy a new tv. LCD's have dropped in price greatly.

tv worked great, turned it off one day and back on the next and the on light would not come on nor would the tv work, rear projection 52 inch rca

Bad high voltage transformer. Most original transformers are not made anymore by RCA.

owners manuals or user guides are availble online at rca.com

this is the filment circuit having a problem. i think you will find it is a loose connection on a solder joint. Goodluck
