RCA F27188BT Power

I have an RCA color television model number F27188BT with no power.
Before going off the set was intermittently snapping and temporarily
shutting down.

Gordon Gaskell:

It's broken real good now. Usually these things don't heal themselves and
in the future if a fault condition is observed, the television should turned
off, unplugged and be taken to a repair shop immediately.... if the
television is continued to be operated with intermittent faults, the problem
will only become worse to the point that it may not even turn on the repair
will be more expensive and more involved
..
If you looking for any repair suggestions beyond "take it to a repair shop"
you obviously should post your initial troubleshooting results and test
meter readings, component test results and other pertinent technical data
and observations that would help anyone replying to your post to produce a
technical and relevant repair suggestions.

If you are not certain where to begin your troubleshooting effort, and do
not have the necessary electronics knowledge, repair experience, test
equipment and tools... you would indeed be best advised to TAKE it to a
repair shop for at the very least a repair cost estimate so you can make an
intelligent repair decision with facts instead of internet or telephone wild
guesses based on absolutely negligible technical information being
originally posted.
If you want to learn more about electronics troubleshooting and repair
procedures and IMPORTANT safety information that will help you to stay away
from dangerous and lethal electrical shock hazards inside your television
..... (note that these hazards can still be present even when the television
is turned off and unplugged... be very careful) you should go to the
website for this newsgroup at
http://www.repairfaq.org/
There, with some search time, you will find a wealth of interesting
information

I called the local distributor, they have a parts kit for this symptom.

Gordon Gaskell:
Good news about you obtaining parts kit..... however, be advised that the
parts kits/repair kits do not always cover all the possible faults with the
same symptom.... there are a lot of different and multiple faults that can
cause the "doesn't turn on" symptom. A little troubleshooting and
component testing will help you to eliminate some of the easier faults and
thus helping you to avoid wasting your money by burning up new parts....
If television service were always this easy I would be in Hawaii right now
instead of slepping around televisions trying to pay the bills.

Daniel, would you have the service manual and scematic for this set. I am
an amateur electronic hobbyist and have fixed two televisions so far. I
have this set donated to me and want to find out where the test voltage
points and values are. I can hear the transformer hum on but have no
picture.

Have you done any basic diagnostics, such as check if the H_output is not
shorted or if there are viable standby voltages being generated??
