Blackie, I don't know if this will help, but it's worth looking at http://www.intechlabs.net/servicetech/bulletins/RCATuner.htm
Did this set stop dead or did it gradually get worse?

Good Morning, Blackie:
I see what is happening! You have spread this problem out over two or three different threads and I lost continuity. I have deleted the other threads and now we can work with just this one.
You said in the other thread:
the tv
a repair man told me it was the HORIZ OUTPUT Q4401F
WHAT YOU THINK?

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO COME ON BUT DON'T
THE POWER button has a light on it and when i mess it ,,it will blink afew times but nothing happens
any thoughts on it
thanks blackie

Now, let me do some research on your problem.

Good Morning, Blackie:

Well, research turned up a wealth of information on your unit. The chassis number is actually a CTC169, or a variable thereof.
An excellent troubleshooting site for this series (used in several projection TV's) can be located at

http://wa6ati.home.mindspring.com/Ctc169.htm

Need Service Manuals on the unit? A couple of places show up at
http://tvdiagrams.com/model/b-rcaa.html

http://www.treasurechestcorp.com/RCA.GE.PROSCAN.sm.TV.html

There was some discussion noted on the same type problem at
http://www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/01-2002/fullthread660.html

I have a feeling your answers are in this information. The troubleshooting guide indicated several variations on your problem and the fix needed to correct it.

If you respond, respond this this thread only so that I can maintain continuity on the problem.
