I don't know. Fix it and collect your fee. While it's fun to speculate about what a bad technician was or wasn't thinking, it's ultimately unproductive as you'd have to become as crazy as them to think the way they do.
Under normal circumstances...yes. Thing is, this set came from a "proper" TV repair shop down the road from me. A real business that customers trust to do proper repairs at a reasonable price. They stuff the thing up and then send it to me.......
This is the second time they have tried this with me. And this is the last time I am prepared to be involved in this nonsense.
Our company takes pride in our work. We know what we are doing and what we repair we repair properly. Satisfied customers mean everything to us.
Hence, customers that become friends and frequent the shop not only when TV's break...but also to purchase new Audio or other equipment.
They trust us because we are ethical.
So...this is going to head towards a Court case. The butchered set is working properly now and evidence is safe in our workshop. I will leave it on test for a Week and see if anything else fails in that time. Anything is possible seeing what the set has been through
Sad part about this is the consumer is the one that takes the biggest knock. Beautiful 74CM almost lost forever and the customer must fork out the money to buy a new TV because an idiot messed up the TV.
For the record: finally got back to the ORIGINAL fault as I
THINK reported by the customer....
"TV has a picture but the people look funny. They look small and cramped in the middle of the screen. There is a bright line there sometimes And sometimes the picture has dark lines across it...
"
On a Sansui SV2918 chassis this is caused by:
C305 0.22MF 63V on vertical scan coils track. It goes low or open and causes said problems depending on how low it's capacitance has fallen...
Some sets barely show a picture with lots of dark horizontal black ever moving lines...
Discovered this around Two years back......I believe that this was the ORIGINAL fault with this TV that was almost wasted by a chancer..
Cheers guys,
