Zenith 32" T.V.
Model B32A34Z
Serial 922-64240038
My nieghbors were watching this tv and all of sudden it just shut off and wont turn back on,even after waiting for a half hour.Also unplugged the tv and plugged it back in,still nothing. I havn't taken it apart yet,was hoping you could give me a place to start and what to look for and if something could be done to fix it.
Thanks for any assistance you can give me,
Al |

Look for anything that doesn't look right.
Check fuses (FX3401 & FX3402) first. Then check voltages across CX3407 (Raw B+), CX3420 and CX3424 (Stand-by B-pluses).
If has Raw but no stand-bys replace CX3416 (100ufd 25V). |

Ok,heres what I found. I opened the tv and found 2 Ceramic disc's that were burnt,the numbers are cx3210 and cx3211. I also found a schematic online and downloaded it which helped out. On the service pages it says that this tv is module replacement only,what does that mean?
I also found both parts and part numbers with the RC code I, whitch reference's a 27 inch tv,can I still by the parts and replace them or not?
Is there anything I have to do before I replace the parts if I can,is there any stored power and how do I release it?
thanks, Al |

| Ok I found that transistor,how do you check for the short? There are 3 places b,c,e. |

Testing a transistor.
Testing with a multimeter.
Use a multimeter to check each pair of leads for conduction. Set a digital multimeter to diode test and an analog multimeter to a low resistance range.
Test each junction with meter leads connected both ways (six tests in total):
The base-emitter (BE) junction should behave like a diode and conduct one way only.
The base-collector (BC) junction should behave like a diode and conduct one way only.
The collector-emitter (CE) should not conduct either way.
The above procedure is for a Standard transistor. The transistor you're testing is special. Plus you'll be testing it "In-Circuit."
The base-emitter junction has a internal resistor across it, plus "in-circuit" the secondary of the driver transformer is across it too. So a low reading with meter leads connected in either polarity is normal.
The collector-emitter junction has an internal damper diode, so will normally test like a diode. |
