JVC television model AV-27985 doesn't turn on. Recurring problem noted in archives ("JVC service or questions"). I have now paid for the "fix" FOUR times and it recurs. It MUST be a circuit design problem. Need help to get JVC to recall. My JVC 27" tv Model AV-27985 doesn't want to turn on ... again. This is the FOUTH time in 5 years that the SAME capacitor has blown... 1000uF 35V at location C926. Numerous others on this forum and achived files have had this problem and said they did the $2 fix. I am not an electronics whiz so it's costing me about $100 each time this thing blows. The TV just decides not to power on. I have surge protectors on the outlet plug in, there has been no electrical storms etc. Now this is the FOURTH time. I LOVE this TV since it has the built in TV guide etc. and don't want to give it up. The first time it happened it was only 2 years old. This last time it lasted only 9 months... I think they even put in a 1000 uF 50V capacitor intead of the original 35V one. IT HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUIT DESIGN... wouldn't you think so? Has anyone found out from JVC it they are doing a recall on the circuit board and replacing it? Or at least let the techies know how to REALLY and PERMANENTLY fix the problem? What is the best way to approach JVC? Anyone have any suggestions Frustrated... and TV-less... again! /denis
