BIG SCREEN TV REPAIR

A big screen TV unit is located at the center of a home entertainment system. The wildly popular Direct View 32 and 36 inch TVs use a big glass Cathodic Picture Tube e.g. CRT. Big screens, the 50, 56, 60 inch and Bigger, use a set of three small picture tubes with lens and mirrors projecting to the rear of a large plastic screen. Because they do not use plug-in boards, these sets are complex and very complicated to service. During a normal life expectancy of 10 years, a large screen television will break down two or three times.

Normally, the unit will have to be fixed to component level. Sometimes tuners or picture tubes will need replacing, but usually the problem will be traced to transistors, capacitors or small integrated circuits.
