Good evening, Blackie:

Here we go again! You jump in and give us just a brief piece of information and expect us to come up with an answer. Now take a deep breath, look at the set, and tell us EXACTLY what is going on.

How is the picture going on and off? Tell me everything you see.

And, if you start another thread, I will hire the Mafia to dynamite your car. LOL!

smokey i'm a woman what do you expect lol
it is going on and off,,, just like i'm pressing the power button
on ,,off ,,on ,,off
thanks blackie

Oh, my! A woman! Sigh! LOL! We cater to all sexes at this website.

Where are you getting all these TV sets? Do you have a bunch of condo's that you are renting furnished?

While I researching your problem, check out this website:

Pay attention to Chapter 22:

And, for the record, the problem is in the low voltage power supply regulator circuit. I suspect a bad filter capacitor and/or a bad solder connection. Either is possible.

hi smokey
I think i've find the source of trouble
on the back of the set where you hook cable up it has a switch for annenta or cable well their is what looks like a resister
has a black cover on it but one side is loose the other is not.
should i take the whole thing off and will it bite me lol
or do i just put it back in the hole and solder it.
just learning but am very carefull

thanks blackie

There tain't nuthin' that will bite y'all at an antenna connection,
Blackie. Have at it!

Smokey in Tennessee ;)

well that did'nt work it must be a loose solder in the keypad because i can touch the channel button it will go on and off just like if i were pushing the power button what do you think
smokey

I fixed the TV ,BUT when i have another tv own beside it the color looks kinda dull, you know the black don't look black and the white don't look white what you think
thanks blackie

Poor contrast is related to a video driver problem or, in some instances, the automatic gain control (AGC) circuit. Either one will cause you to have a "washed out" picture.

Again, you didn't tell me anything about make or model so this is just general information.

Smokey ;)

look at the top or bottom now lol
but anyway it's a RCA COLORTRAX 2000 25 INCH
MODEL-- GJR2028T
