Hi,
First I want to say thanks for those who helped me troubleshoot and get the Curtis Mathes stereo receiver going.
Now I have a 32" RCA Television - Model #32V434T that has a red blinking light with no picture. The red light in the front will blink about 20-25 times and then go solid. When I plug in the TV I here a click and then another click. I then press the power button and I hear another click. The click sounds like a relay. I don't believe that it is charging the tube.
I ordered a High Voltage Flyback Transformer and Horizontal Output Transistor, thinking that was the issue. I removed the board from the tv, being cautious taking a screw driver and a jumper to discharge the tube. I didnt get a spark or any noise when attempting to discharge the tube. I de-soldered the flyback and also the horizontal output transistor and installed the new ones. I pluged the tv in and heard a single click and tried to press power and nothing happened.. No Red light or anything. I left the tv pluged in for about 2 minutes and I finally heard another click. I pressed the power button and I get the same flashing red light. After replacing with the new parts the TV takes longer to click the second time.
What should I check now?
I can upload pics, videos, or whatever else you need. I have a digital multi-meter.
Thank you for your help in advance.
