• Only rainbow colours (vertical deflection error). (picture attached)
• Programme indicator "1" flashes but will not tune.
• No horizontal amplification.
• At switch on, after 15 secs, dark screen with a few horizontal white lines between the middle and top of screen. Picture returns with geometry fault, if PG08 is turned. Sound ok.
• Poor vertical linearity.
• Wavy picture on right side. Switches off after 5 to 10 mins. (with circuit diagram extract)
• Channel raster has shifted by two or more channels.
• Shade gradually becomes purplish. Ok at start up. Degaussing ok.
• No sound, no picture. Weak brightness. Flyback lines if G2 pushed. No functions from TV front panel.
• When the appliance switches off, a spot appears on the screen. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Cannot be switched over from all channels. (FF510 tip from SABA)
• Vertical collapse. (picture attached)
• No audio. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Channel 60 and special channels flicker. U6 (30V) too low.
• No horizontal synchronisation. when changing channels. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Crackling sound on "Nicam".
• The picture only appears after about 3 or 4 minutes and then turns red or blue.
• TP24 fails after first EHT pulse.
• No audio. after a few minutes. No picture. after a few minutes. (picture attached)
• Picture shifted vertically. at bottom. (picture attached)
• Occasionally static discharge.
• Snow in picture. intermittently.
• TV deprogrammes, starts up again then remains in PAL. It is impossible to display S2 standard. (SABA - FF510 information)
• No sound at switch on.
• Crackling audio. intermittently.
• The very high tension is intermittent.
• High pitch whistle on sound, varies with volume mainly on IBA transmission but can occur on BBC.
• Low gain.
• Blank screen. Coloured spots rising from bottom. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Distorted verticals only on top.
• Picture shifted vertically. at top.
• Hum bar. Vertical collapse. after warm-up. (picture attached)
• RF14 burns up. (with circuit diagram extract) (SABA - FF510 information)
• No functions. Standby LED lit . (with circuit diagram extract)
• No tape-end shut off, changing IT20 and IR01 does not cure the problem, no reception on all channels only white shimmer.
• Loss of stored settings: Tuning, picture or sound.
• No brightness. Audio OK .
• Loss of memory when you switch off the TV and in standby you need to be 5cm from the TV to start it up again despite the TV operating well. Battery is ok.
