Hi otoko,

I tried to ping you on IM but you were Away. I just got a hold of a Sharp 19SV111 which unfortunately, did not turn on. I was wondering if you finished that digital copy of the Service Manual.

OK, so the TV did turn on, but it seemed like it didnt feed signal to the screen, so even though I could see the channel, change to game (P), and everything showed up in the red LEDs, nothing showed up in the screen.

I had to talk to someone who has repaired TVs in the past, and figured out that the power supply circuit was the problem. We rebuilt the power supply circuit and the TV works beautiful now! The embedded NES produces a clear, sharp, and crisp image that there is no way you can get with coaxial cable.

I will attach pictures soon, but I have a couple questions for other people that own this set.

- Are both speakers supposed to work? I only hear sound from the left speaker, the right speaker seems to not be working.

- Does the quality of the picture decrease if you plug another device (NES) to the TV? I plugged an NES and the picture shows a bit of static. I plugged the cable to the TV and it looks OK, but still with a little static. I dont know if this is expected, given the fact that this is an old TV.


Thanks.

Kasht
