I might suggest you replace them even if they check good: CR2901 (part# 198589) C2909 (part# 190542) C1409 (part# 215555) (located off pin 16 of U1401) Bob Waterman, CET® #RI-28 Master Technician License #9109 Service Manager / Parts Manager Gemini Computer, TV, & Security Alarms (508)695-7302 (508)695-7769 FAX geminitv@xxxxxxxxxxx geminitv@xxxxxxx www.geminicomputertvsecurityalarms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "al m" <ampm@xxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 5:46 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Rca PTV P46770CK PTK169PAAS chassis No contrast update > this PTV the contrast will not adjust.
