Hi techs. This RCA CTC203CA5 model F32649, clicks 5 times and all 5 times it tries to come on for 2 or 3 seconds, you can even perceive a dim and somewhat shrinked raster for a fraction of a second b4 it shuts down. Vertical is ok, audio is ok, no 12v at the tuner (5v and 33v ok), problem goes on the same (5 clicks) even when I leave HOT collector's leg floating, if I unsolder the vertical out IC, you can see a dim horizontal line for a fraction of a second, (pretty fast heathers!!) desoldering tuning and / or audio final ics does not change anything. I measured all that at the customer's (30 miles from my place) and I got to come back to fix it on wednesday (so I hope!) Have no schematic at the moment, no chipper check handy NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT THE 5 (no more, no less) CLICKS MEAN!!!! will appreciate any suggestions / tips / hints / clues TIA Jorge Jorge Camboni, GY Electronics, Richardson, TX ***************************************************************************** Classifieds!
