This chassis uses the same type diode as the ctc169 Cr4118 in the power supply. Can't recall which location number for ctc188 though. Recommend monitoring secondary voltages of power supply to see if go low when set stops. Possibly the +12 to 24 volt supply line Robert tvservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx H & H Electronics Inc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Bader" <tjanphyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 8:41 AM Subject: [TechAssist] CTC188 chassis 35" RCA goes off, later on by itself > Assisting a tech friend making a service call on this in next town over. > All info he can get is the chassis, CTC188, about a 35" RCA. > Will be watching, and set turns off. later in the middle of the night, > it may turn back on again. > On similar models, we've seen bad tactile front switches, and > othertimes, solder cracks in the horiz drive ckts will kill the set, and > is actually still on, so later it makes connection and the set starts > working.
