Re[3]: JVC service or questions

ADD ANOTHER ONE TO THE LIST! I have the same JVC TV I purchased at Circuit City in
Massachusetts about 6 years ago. I came home from a week long Vacation and the blasted thing would not power up. I unplugged the TV, let it sit for a while, plugged it back in, and I noticed that it emitted several high frequency sounds, like it was re-attempting to be charged up. I called several TV repair shops in my area, which quoted me prices between $25 to $50 to look at it. With a little bit of internet searching, I came across this thread. I followed the same steps as mentioned in the previous postings, and VOILA ! Issue resolved.
I would warn others that decide to attempt this to BE VERY CAUTIOUS, however. I'm not sure of the specifics of these particular series of TV sets, but in general, there are large main filter capacitors in sets that can store large voltage charges for several days.

ADD ME TO THE LIST!! God I love the internet! My AV32980 quit working just like all the others on this forum. Working fine, then all of the sudden, boom, won't turn on. I was literally looking through the yellow pages to decide which repair shop to take it to, when I decided to just check the internet for any tips on repairing a JVC TV. Found this forum, read the other problem descriptions just like mine, figured that had to be it. In 45 minutes I went to Radio Shack, bought the 1000uf capacitor, got into the TV chassis, found the cap, de-soldered it, soldered in the new one, and walla! Working fine now. Forums like this are just an incredible resource for the folks. Obviously I would NEVER have even begun to know where to look for the problem without this help. Here's a little more info for those who follow: The capacitor you will find at Radio Shack is an AXIAL LEAD type, meeaning it has a wire lead coming out of each end of the device. The capacitor you will take out of the TV is a RADIAL LEAD type, meaning it has both leads coming out of one end. Don;t let this difference bother you. Just bend the leads so they will fit into the hole spacing on the PCB and position the new cap. nice and snug down. The capacitor is marked with which lead is negative. The board is marked with which hole is positive. As long as you get the polarity right the new style will work fine. Also, as suggested in this forum I went ahead and bought the 50 volt capacitor, hoping it will last longer. Seems to work fine so I would suggest that for others. It cost $2.59 instead of $1.69 for the 35v.

Hello, I just had a 1999 JVC AV-36980 36" TV given to me because it would not turn on. I actually loaded it up to go to the TV repair shop when I thought to check the net for any tips. To make a long story short, I received a working 36" tv for about 15 minutes work and $2.00. Great Site. Thanks!
