Re: GE 9" under counter TV video in and out

Greetings Dan..

Regarding:
"| Try resoldering the existing HOT first, they don't usually fail
that way."

Funny, I seem to have heard about such recommendations before..

Dan, I've also heard of a similar situation on a larger 19" set that
had a resettable fuse issue on the AC input. Ends up it was not
working correctly and was intermittent with heat. The symptoms were
the set would work for the longest time and just shut off by itself.
Usually worked when cold until which time it warmed up. But even that
wasn't a sure thing since this anomaly was truly intermittent. Many an
individual thought it was the power supply or the HOT shutting down -
ends up both were fine. This is merely an FYI..

Cheers,
Mr. Mentor
