Complete Projection TV Troubleshooting & Repair

Rating:
Summary: useless
Review: Easily the most useless purchase I ever made. The authors thoughts are random and dispersed. The book is not organized as a troubleshooting guide. It does not provide symptoms and flowcharts for determining the cause. At best it is an incomplete, brief, overview of television basics, with a couple of reminiscences of the authors experiences with tv repair. If the paper were recycled, the book would be worth .00023 cents.

Summary: useless
Review: I found this book to be helpful for the most part. My recommendation would be to use this book AND spend the 25 bucks for your T.V.'s service manual. Do an internet search or something, they're out there. Mine came on a disk from an online company. As usual, the flow charts in the service manual were next to useless. However, using the information in this book in combination with the schematics and part info in the service manual, I was able to repair my TV. Don't expect to fix your TV with just this book. It tells you exactly what parts to look at, but without your TV's service manual, you can't equat them to your specific TV. An example, a rather common fault is for the Horizontal Output Transistor to go bad. This fault, and how to correct it is stated in the book. That's all fine and dandy, but without your TV's service manual, you'll have no idea which transistor is YOUR Horizontal Output Transistor. My only grip is that Amazon stated that this was a hardback. It's not. It's a softcover. Good Luck.
