I agree! I run my business by myself. I answer the phone, talk to
customers in person, go on service calls, order parts, answer my
emails...whew, my day goes by very quickly. Oh, yes I forgot, I also
repair things! The less time I spend on each item the shorter my long
day becomes.

Life is too short! Ask somebody that already knows what to do. Why
reinvent
the wheel?

other techs... i'm a starter too (like babalino, whose posts cause me to
post this, so nobody thinks i'm just a lurker hoping for help without
doing
anything myself). I'm a graduate in electronics, and did three months
of
learning at the local thomson repair center, where i learned a lot more
than
in school...

sets (which are all the same brand actually), unfortunately these are

RCA chassis numbers, so i guess these are different from the european
ones...but if i can be of any assistance, i'll try my best.

I'm
used to working with all the right technical documentation, but
sometimes i
get these cheapo tv's and i wonder if they're even worth looking at. If
you
*can* get a schem, it's at least =E2,=AC25, and then you haven't even =
spent
time
looking for the error, so repair costs will be way too high for the
customer. Do you guys use schematics for every repair? Are there any
"tricks" to try?
