• No picture only on 3 channels (eg. nothing on 1, 3 and 6 but picture on 2 and 5) after warming up for 10 mins. This problem disturbs other TVs plugged into the same aerial. (picture attached)
• No HT supplies from DP41, DP37 and DP32. (+ extract of circuit diagram) (FF440 SABA repair tip)
• Child lock.
• Loss of channel 1.
• Intermittent audio.
• Wavy picture on right side. Switches off after 5 to 10 mins. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Sporadic hum from speaker. Hum disappears when switched off and on. (picture attached)
• Negative picture, striped and running through in UHF. OK in VHF.
• Picture has shifted horizontally. Sound available only every 2 secs. Picture and sound OK via AV. (service info for SABA -FF440)
• All adjustments at zero (brightness, colour, contrast). Channels are also at zero. Adjustments can be made at 50 but they are lost during standby or ON/OFF. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Stations drift off tune by channel input. Can only be adjusted by fine tuning.
• Cannot change channels. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Snow in picture. intermittently.
• Receives no HF signals. Band switch over is not possible. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Incorrect TXT graphics. Black bars displayed down screen.
• Popping noise from speakers at switch on.
• Low brightness. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Receives no HF signals. Band change is not possible.
• Switches to protection mode. intermittently.
• The video fails with the decoder syster. No problem with the old decoder.
• Horizontal lines.
• Power supply shuts down. Line drive pulls HT down.
• At switch off, loud noises from the speaker. (FF440 tips)
• Field collapse to approx 12 lines in centre of screen. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Part number info: power supply repair
• No TXT. Intermittently low contrast picture in TXT mode. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Distorted sound, balance off centre, supersound and NICAM defective.
• Sharp picture but negative and pale. Service mode OK. (FF440 tip from SABA)
• Tripping. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Low FM sound. High background noise.
• No raster deflection. No picture, only vague light in background. Looks like coloured spot at bottom of picture. No start up.
• Cut-off adjustment.
• Bright picture. Flyback lines.
• No tuning. Channel display flashes. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Switching transistor TP24 fails repeatedly.
• No 22V line but ok when DP43 removed. (FF440 SABA repair tip)
• Brightness varies. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• The display indicates 88.
• No text, sound muted. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Blank screen. Coloured spots rising from bottom. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Weak signal. (with circuit diagram extract)
• No standard switching. Blocked on PAL. (picture attached)
• No synchronisation (intermittently).
• Line transformer vibration on white pictures.
• Functions in Pal but snowy screen in Secam. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• General information. (FF440 tip from SABA)
• Programming impossible but responds in SERVICE mode.
• Colour bleeding.
• No standby light when put into standby and impossible to start up again, except when starting up from the control panel.
• Intermittent colour when setting picture geometry.
• Poor Teletext page number.
• Colour fails occasionally.
• Goes into black and white, flyback lines then stops. Dead. Starts up again 2 or 3 times then cuts out completely.
• How to disable key code.
• The appliance remains in PAL. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Rolling colours and white lines.
• Blank screen with out of focus blob in bottom centre of screen.
• Cannot be switched over from all channels. (FF440 SABA repair tip)
• Does not start up. 142V on line collector S2000, the standby LED scarcely lights up when appliance is switched off, a priori no diodes s/c.
