Disclaimer
The procedures described in this document require access to potentially dangerous voltages,
proximity to the CRT and its implosion risk, and other possible dangers lurking inside a
television set. We will not be responsible for personal injury resulting from attempting these
repairs nor damage to the equipment that may result from lack of soldering experience or
inadequate de-soldering or soldering equipment.
Please read this guide completely at least once before you attempt to fix your TV. You may also

Unplug Power and all Cables
TV sets can hold a charge for a long time and can shock you even while unplugged if you are
not careful. It is strongly advised that you unplug your TV set from the wall at least 3 days
before attempting the fix. This will give the set some time to discharge some of the stored
electricity. Do not plug your TV back in until the repairs are completed.
