Somebody that knows tv's help me fix this tv
 

hi i got a pioneer sd-p5575 projector tv from 1994 for free today. When i pluged it in and pressed the power button it does the clicking thing all tvs do and doesnt power on. I just hear the sound without images, i checked fuses and they were all good any ideas?

Perhaps this is why someone got rid of it, because it's not a simple fix?

my neighbor was moving and he tried to sell it for 300 and said the guy at the tv shop asked 150 to fix it, but when noone wanted to buy it he just let me have it, its too ------- big to fit in my jeep and i think i can just change the part myself if i know what it is,,, does anybody have a repair guide or some info for this thing?

take it to a repair shop far away have them give you a quote find out whats wrong with it and then tell them youll bring the tv back tomorrow cause u just got a call blalblalblal and u dont know if ull be able to come pick it up bllblalblallbla so yea now u know what part you neeed to fix it. go to a local tv repair shop buy the part soldier it in and your as good as gold.

but 150 bucks to fix it? the only reason i did what i did is cause i was getting quotes of up to 1500 to fix a ------- projector tv..

150 bucks for a projector tv and you want to skimp on it you ------- jew? what the ---- is wrong with you :l

part will cost anywhere between 50-100 bucks anyways and if u dont have something to soldier it in with a minimum soldier kit will cost u 20 bucks.. and yea if u ---- something up your out the money for your part and the soldier kit..

so just let the shop do it :S

Yeah, what he said.

150 bucks for a projector TV seems like an ok deal to me. Think about it this way, you could pay to have it fixed and then sell that ---- and make bank.

Which you can then spend on turbo stuff.
