CRT Television troubleshooting guide

-


Dear electronics repairer.

CRT Television troubleshooting guide is a step by step guide to troubleshoot and localize CRT television problems in a logical step by step technique using ordinary test equipment to get extra ordinary result within a short time.

The Book is unique as in we are starting with the problem (symptoms) going backward to trace the faulty components.

This is possible because CRT Television exhibit specific symptoms for specific problems; therefore by understanding the symptoms a smart tech can localize a TV problem to a small section by just observing the screen and listening to the sound.

So you can even decide to read the book when you get the TV in your workshop, this means the book can pay for itself after only reading one chapter (symptoms).

A photo speaks a thousand words; therefore I have used numerous colour photos to make the user comfortable with any task which come his or her way.

I know not everyone use English as his first language including myself, so the English I have used in this book can be understood even by a class six pupil!

  • You are technician for over 5 years and your workshop is full of junk board and TV waiting for the owners to collect as un-repairable
  • You are a technician and you find most of your work is to replace faulty TV board with universal TV board...
  • You are a technician and you hardly diagnose and repair more than 3 TVs in a day
  • You are just from school and want to do electronics repair as a career or part time job...
  •  You have another job and want to supplement your income by repairing TVs for your friends and neighbors
  • You are a technician and still there are some things you feel shy to ask your friend about repair thinking that they will consider you under dog...
  • Whenever you open a TV for repair you feel intimidated by the numerous components in there.
  •  You are in TV repairs business but not able to pay your bills from your repair income.

This book can change your story to this...

Hie Mr. Mndaka,

Once again I have written this to appreciate for your extra-ordinary help about the China TV displaying the vertical line.
After reading your e-book I just went straight to the coils in the horizontal circuit and the first one to change was L441, as soon as I replaced this coil I switched on the set to see if it was the cause. Wow! My eyes were astonished to see the Set being resurrected from the hell.  Full screen and audio still there. It didn't take me even 20 minutes.
It’s really great to have known you and I believe if I could have known you two years ago I could even have been fixing Television sets with my eyes closed by now. 
May God bless you
Regards-Wilson
