Hi.
I fix things as a hobby and not just when it makes financial sense.
I'm not very good at tv's but I still like to try.
I have a 15 inch Emerson color TV in beautiful condition made in 1985
that has no picture, no raster, and no sound.
When I first turn it on it clicks quietly about 4 times a second for a
second or two, then about 2 times a second as long as it is on. When
it is unplugged it stops clicking quickly, but not immediately. Maybe
after 1 or 2 seconds.
It seems like this might be related to the other tv problems.
There are afaict no relays in this tv, and the on-off switch is a
full-current switch mounted to the back of the volume control, not a
push-button that activates a relay.
I've tried touching each part with a thick chopstick to feel for the
clicking or to hear it at the end of the stick, but haven't found it.
Not positive even the region where the noise is coming from, but seems
a little louder on the right side near the flyback and the low-voltage
power supply parts.
Thanks.
If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM
