Need help please. I have a 52' RCA TV (model#P527300R) - purchased in 1994. I have had no problem until now. Changed the fuses and nothing happened. The TV will not come on at all. Just dead! Any suggestions?

Call a repair person or trash it and start over. You're lucky you got 11 years out of an RCA.

Thanks - I called and they said it sounds like a power switch-relay... and it would cost about $150. Is this something I can buy and replace myself?

Buy, yes. Replace-I wouldn't attempt it unless I knew exactly what I was doing.

Yep - happened to me - TWICE NOW! It's the High-Voltage Regulator. Cost about $225.00 to have a technician come out and replace back in early 2003. Lasted about 1-1/2 yrs of heavy use before it blew again. Now it's just living room junk until I decide to move out to the garage and "donate" it to some Thrift Store or give it away.

I have a 2000 RCA projection TV Model P52921, serial no. 022351178, Chassis no. PTK195M1B. In July 2004 I had a problem with the convergence popping out (with an hour glass look on the screen). I had it repaired, invoice states "Repaired convergence power board" . Parts : Regulator STK730-130 - $38.85 and labor $150.00 . Grand total $190.79 (includes tax). Well as of two days ago the same problem has started, the convergence pop in and out with an hour glass screen. I called the repair man, he seemed shock that this is happening again. He tells me to bring it in ($45 just to look)and the warranty ran out 30 days after I took the tv home. The last thing I want to do is to sink another $200 into this tv just to have this same problem in another year. Can anyone give me any information on this problem. Should I consider not fixing it and buying another tv? HELP....

I have a 5 year old 32" RCA TV. The sound on it is all screwed up. It is totally distorted and high pitch. What can I do?

The first thing to always do before calling a servicer is to pull the power plug for a few minutes to reset the control system. If that doesn't work, you probably have a part failure inside the set.
