Remodel update

We have most of the work benches up now. There are still a lot of things that need to go out the back door.

The plan is to get a lot of the televisions that belong to the shop and have not been fixed yet, to get them ready for the flea market in the spring. If there is any particular type of television, flatscreen, big screen, etc., that someone is looking for, let us know. We will put you into the calendar.

We have our new bumper stickers in and can't wait to distribute them. :)

Today, Mr. Pickett is logging in some hours working on television sets to move out while the storm is raging outside. This is not good weather for sawing or hauling wood, so we're still putting our time to good use.

Be careful driving in the snow and be sure and keep warm!

Sincerely,
              Pickett and Son TV

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.
