Hi again guys!
I'm having serious problems with a very, very old SONY KV82ME7. I know it's a ... again, very old! TV, but it belongs to a low-income family, so I must fix it to sleep well.
The antenna female jack wasn't the one I was used to
example:
**broken link removed**
Instead, a strange jack
**broken link removed**
I removed the strange jack and soldered a common female jack. But, when I plug the coaxial coming from the antenna... explodes!!
I'm sure the female jack is energized, but I don't know why! The explosion only occurs when the coaxial makes full contact with the TV... if only the central pin is connected, the TV works great (I saw the Obama's speech on it)
I didn't changed anything else, and the wiring is OK (the antenna is not touching the PSU or anything else)
What's going on?
