• Horizontal output transistor fails after start-up. (55FGALAXY NORDMENDE repair tip)
• No picture, only three lines two thirds of the way down the screen. Goes into SAFETY mode after 1 min. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Us is too high at 121Vpp instead of 52Vpp.
• TL19 in the line output stage is defective. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Line in centre of picture.
• Picture with red as the predominant colour and flyback line apparent on the screen.
• Shuts down after 10 mins. Power LED remains lit. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Vertical lines run over the whole screen. (service info for NORDMENDE -55FGALAXY)
• CTV in standby one hour. After CTV does not start up from remote control or front panel. TV stops with the switch. Waits 30 mins. Starts to work again with switch. Functions ok with the remote control and front panel. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Only noise on screen, screen menu cannot be superimposed. Appliance does not react to the RCU or to control panel commands.
• Faulty OSD.
• RL27 burnt.
• S2000AF blows each time appliance is plugged in. (picture attached)
• No OSD via RC or front controls. Screen is lit, snow present. No sound or picture. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Adjusting the SECAM (4,25MHz) colour carrier trap: chassis.
• Only the LL' display functions in the Multistandard version.
• Occasionally fails for a short time (Occasionally does not function for days). (with circuit diagram extract)
• No functions. IR01 does not accept reset.
• Unstable frame linearity.
• Picture width and height twitches intermittently, thereby noise or chirping can be heard in SM transformer.
• FP01 blows at switch on.
• Secondary protective circuit TV01 and TV02 disconnects intermittently. (55FGALAXY tip from NORDMENDE)
• Distorted audio. intermittently.
• Noise bar. after a few minutes.
• No function either from control panel nor RC. No OSD. (service info for NORDMENDE -55FGALAXY)
• Power supply pulsates after a frame fault.
• The appliance fails, no picture, no sound, base raster or horizontal lines.
• At the start of production of the new IKC2 chassis, in TVs not fitted in series with teletext, the following components have not been fitted.
• Channels run through, sound whistles and there are lines if picture present.
• Line transformer does not start up. (picture attached)
• The appliance switches on at random when the remote control is used.
