Hello everyone; I am new here. Can anyone help out a middle-aged disabled man here? I think I know the problem, but don't know how to fix it.
The tv is a Toshiba Cinema Series CN32V71, and the picture will go out intermittently. But I have noticed that when you click the ANT/VIDEO switcher button, it will sometimes come back on. I'll bet my shirt that it's a dirty or dusty contact somewhere, because before these problems showed up, there used to be an audible click when you went from ANT/!; VIDEO; ANT/2... But now. that click is not heard. Something tells me that dust might be built up on the switcher somewhere.
The house is meticulous in the sense there is no smoking or heavy dust anywhere.

I'm asking for guidance here because I have a spinal disability and don't know if I should attempt to move the tv out of it's entertainment center and try to remove the back of it to listen for that audible click. If I can maybe locate that switcher, I have a can of compressed air and a can of contact cleaner here too.

Does anyone think I might be probing in the correct way here? And do you happen to know where that switcher could be located so I could maybe spray the contacts clean?

Thanks for reading this and I'd appreciate any help... the wallet is not the fattest one here.. (health problems). Thank you...

Tommy

Also... Problem comes whether tv is hot or cold. Not quite as much on cold though...

Pressing the VIDEO/ ANT/1 ANT/2 button and cycling through them a few times will sometimes solve it too. Also cycling the tv off & on a few times will bring back the picture too. So I think I might be getting somewhat close in my guessing.

All I need is someone to let me know if I'm wasting my time, of if I.m moving in the right direction.

I don't mind hauling the tv out but it will kill my spine and back because I have nobody to help me with it. I'm willing to try, but can someone tell me if I am wasting my time or if there's a chance that I might be able to fix it?

Thanks friends very much...

(I couldn't find an "edit" section; so I posted here... sorry..I'm just learning..)

Tommy,

Certainly don't want to cause any more injury as I know how hard it can be trying to move a big set.

I am not familiar with the set in question but, based on your description, sounds like you are correct of possible dirty contacts(if relay is used) or it might even be a "cold solder" issue? just not sure which one?

A lot of times you have no choice but to get inside the set.--just not sure how practical it is in your situation? Definately do NOT recommend you trying to move the set by yourself.

Perhaps someone familiar with the specific problem might chime in

Thank you vtech for the reply. Yup, I have a spinal condition and have to be careful. Maybe I can get my nephews.....

I'd bet that it is indeed that relay. Because all these years trouble free, it would be normal to hear a slight audible click when you pushed the button to toggle through the input selections. But now, it doesn't make that click... I think that if there is indeed a relay, that there is dust on the contact.

When the set goes off at random, sometimes a "turn on ..turn off" power button will bring it back to normal; sometimes not though. Other times when it goes out, simply toggling through the input selections will restore the set too.

What I am hoping is that someone can confirm my theory, and maybe tell me what I am looking for inside the set. If I could hear the normal click, I'd "follow the sound" and could find the switcher and/or relay. But I don't get that darn click sound now...

Maybe I'll have to get my nephews here and pull the set out, and have a look inside and see if I can locate a relay-looking thing.
This Toshiba has been flawless since 1999 when we bought it. The way it displays analog is phenominal; really great pic quality considering an analog source.

So I guess I'll have to get in to the ole' Tosh and probe around, lol.. I'll "cross my fingers" and hope for the best !

Many thanks my friend for your reply.. Nice forum here; I found it yesterday while googling "Toshiba switcher / video".. I don't know who owns / maintains it, but I thank them for having it here.

Tommy

Thanks for all the valid bulletins but if you read his comments, none of the bulletins address his specific problem! Wink
