Crt television troubleshooting guide pdf


Dear electronics repairer.

CRT Television troubleshooting guide is a step by step guide to troubleshoot and localize CRT television problems in a logical step by step technique using ordinary test equipment to get extra ordinary result within a short time.

The Book is unique as in we are starting with the problem (symptoms) going backward to trace the faulty components.

This is possible because CRT Television exhibit specific symptoms for specific problems; therefore by understanding the symptoms a smart tech can localize a TV problem to a small section by just observing the screen and listening to the sound.

So you can even decide to read the book when you get the TV in your workshop, this means the book can pay for itself after only reading one chapter (symptoms).

A photo speaks a thousand words; therefore I have used numerous colour photos to make the user comfortable with any task which come his or her way.

I know not everyone use English as his first language including myself, so the English I have used in this book can be understood even by a class six pupil!
