Once upon a service call...

Today we finished working on a Mitsubishi big screen that was having issues turning on but was displaying a blue screen.

Mr. Pickett had initially taken the video board out and replaced a few capacitors but as it turns out, that was not the end of the problem. Once the video board was re-installed, it continued doing the same thing. So we had to pull the board back out again, recheck all of the caps and also check to see if the picture tubes were leaking any fluid. Finally, it was determined that we had to replace the RF Module, a video chip and the caps. Luckily, there weren't any leaks but we did mention to the customer that if there were any further problems we would be pulling those picture tubes out refilling them with CRT Fluid (coolant), at no charge, of course.
