• No picture.
• No raster.
• Intermittent standby.
• Intermittent picture increases in size with varying brightness then goes by itself into standby.

• Dead. Stuck in standby.
• Remote control affects VT7 and other makes of video.
• Picture pulling on dark scenes with a light background like sky.
• Excessive brightness occurred very intermittently.
• Intermittent picture increases in size with the brightness varying then turning itself into standby.
• Stuck on stand-by.
• No TXT.
• Top frame cramp or gross non linearity in the middle of part of the raster.
• Set continuies to operate in the standby mode.
• No channel change, blank raster.
• Bright high-contrast picture and loud sound, with the brightness, volume, contrast and colour controls inoperative. (C2289H tips)
• Appliance looks dead but channel LED lit.
• Set comes on in video mode. Intermittently selects off-air and tunes slowly, but no stations selected.
• Blank raster and no channel change.
