JVC CRT AV32980 no power

Talbot Posted Jul 22, 2006, in response to:Gretchen

QUOTE: "read Tom Pajewski's 7-17-04 post: "Had the same problem with my JVC-32980.Working one day, next day nothing.changed out C926 with a 1000uF 35V capacitor that I bought at Radio Shack for $1.49. TV works like a champ. Took all of 20 minutes to fix." Now... I'm not handy AT ALL with sort of stuff, but I thought, heck, for $1.49 I'll give it a try. I unplugged the set, took all the screws off the back and looked for the C926 capacitor - they're clearly labeled. I noticed the part bulged at the top slightly -- (that is what indicated to Tom that the part was "blown.") I bought a new 1000uF 35V capacitor at Radio Shack -- my part cost $1.75. Then I pulled out the old part and soldered the new part in and bingo, I'll be darned! the TV worked again! Tom probably saved me at least $100 - 150." Same problem on July 17th, 2006, with an AV32980, worked before vacation, no longer working upon return? We had had a power failure so initially assumed a power surge, but the remainding electronics, receiver, VHS, CD, DVD players all powered up? Assumed dead TV, Mfg. Sept 1998. After reading this forum and the many confirmations of success, though I would attempt (am a newbie to electronics). Complete success, had to use a "1000uF V40" substitute, as the recommended "1000 UF V35" was unavailable. TV now works like a charm and the part cost me $.43, bought (3) for good measure and solder for $3.00 CDN...what a deal. For those other newbies, simple procedure: 1) remove rear cover (about 11 screws) indicated by an arrow 2) Locate the C926, on the main board, this can be tricky, so after about 20 minutes of looking, decided to slide out the board and yes was easier to find from underneath, as capacitor is marked C926 underneath (about 6 cm from bottom right corner). 3)Remove with slight pul (Plyers from above, while applying slight heat on board connectors from below. Note negative connection, mine was on right side facing and once capacior removed the 1000uF V35 was visible, whereas in place it faced the unit and could not be seen from top 4)Insert new capacitor (ensure negative (grey strip) same as original was and apply slight neat from underneath and presto. 5) re-insert board and any harnesses disconnected for board displacement 6) re-install cover Thank you to Tom and the forum for providing a $3.00 fix vs. a $600 to $900 replacement, the exercize was quite rewarding. Biggest problem was finding the capacitor (Radio Shack is now defunct), did locate at Abra in Montreal.

    Thank you for the solution to the no power up condition with this model AV32980. This must be a common problem. Replacing the capcitor C926 solved the problem. Again much thanks.
