• Unstable picture. Horizontal interference on the screen. The sound crackles.
• No IF signal from tuner.
• Flickering on channel 60 and on special channels.
• Intermittent unlocked colours.
• Operation OK. Dark screen, no sound. RCU OK. As in AV position no snow or thermal tube noise. (with circuit diagram extract)
• After operating for a few minutes, channels 59 and 62 disappear: picture is replaced by snow.
• TV cuts out intermittently. No sound. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Appliance has no HF reception. Snowy picture. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Intermittently when changing channel, black bars and no picture on channel 23. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Sound is lost intermittently.
• Poor audio.
• Functions well but occasionally picture turns grainy as if there was a reception fault. Occasionally 5 and 6 disappear. IF screening ok.
• Loud noises from speaker (at switch-off).
• LED characters are displayed back to front.
• Line tearing. (with circuit diagram extract)
• No colour (intermittently). (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• TXT functions for only 2 secs on high VHF. Functions OK on low VHF low and S channels.
• Vertical pinching fault on the picture and vertical linearity fault. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• No colour in Secam, ok in Pal. RGB ok.
• Picture has shifted horizontally. Sound available only every 2 secs. Picture and sound OK via AV.
• Missing B-Y.
• Only rainbow colours (vertical deflection).
• Channels drift after start-up. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• No colour. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Does not store programmes.
• No raster deflection. No picture, only vague light in background. Looks like coloured spot at bottom of picture. No start up.
• No picture, only flyback raster visible with distorted raster. (FREIBURG SABA repair tip)
• Disable electronic lock.
• Remains in PAL when cold. (FREIBURG tips)
• Part number info: processors
• Brightness varies. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• No raster. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Heavy patterning on picture. Turning colour down patterning disappears, but the B/W picture has silvery effect on white areas.
• 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. (service info for SABA -FREIBURG)
• Primary power supply fails under load. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• No sound or picture. No digits lit on display except STEREO and STEREO S2 lit.
• Teletext moves vertically. Appliance functions very well when Teletext is not displayed.
• Switches to protection mode. intermittently.
• No STEREO reception on channel 60.
• Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 ok but teletext is green. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Fuse and power supply transistor defective.
• Vertical lines are jagged. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• TP24, TP16, TP19, TP11 and fuse blow. TL31 ok.
• Colour flashing in and out. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Occasionally colour fails.
• Rolling colours and white lines.
• Part number info: RC
• No reception. No UHF or VHF. Channels are displayed correctly.
• Sometimes CTV starts up and functions. When the CTV is functioning, it stops then starts up again all by itself.
• PSU fails in various conditions.
• Sound from right channel is missing.
• Difficulty starting up. When started up it functions for a few mins. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• No picture and screen is dark. Safety function does not work. (with circuit diagram extract)
• Dead (after start-up).
• No HV. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• The channel display is incorrect (eg.when receiving channel 36, the display shows channel 38). (with circuit diagram extract)
• Channel 60 and special channels flicker. U6 (30V) too low.
• Memory loss.
• Service info: Contrast- and beam current adjustment after replacing chroma video module.
• No picture. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
