Re[3]: JVC service or questions

I also had the same issue of no power with my JVC AV-36980 (1998 model). Thanks to these messages I was able to fix my TV. Saved me a lot of headaches and money in trying to move the set as well as repair $.

To reiterate a previous email "MAKE SURE TO BUY THE CAPACITOR WITH THE TWO WIRES COMING OUT OF THE SAME END OF THE CYLINDER... I.E. CAPACITOR WITH RADIAL CONNECTION)". I initially bought the axial version but adjusting the wire didn't help. I went back and got the radial version and that worked like a charm. Also, I had never soldered before but had the job done in 15 minutes. So it's not a tough task to take on.

Thanks everyone.

  This information proved valuable. My JVC-36980 was manufactured in November 1998. It had the same symptoms as the other readers. No indications of a problem, then one day last week after the set was working fine, it did not power on. I purchased the C926 radial capacitor from Radio Shack and replaced it myself. The set is now working fine. My tip for this repair is to disconnect three plug in connectors on the front of the motherboard, then turn the chassis 90 degrees on its side, (left side from rear, facing down). I did not disconnect all other plugins to the picture tube, as it was too daunting a task for an amateur like me. Thanks to all for the input in this forum.
