Television Repair: I have a 2004 GE 52 Inch Tv Model#D52GW12 that turns on but smokes in the back.?

Question

I was told it might be the "transformer" but not sure. Does anyone else know what else it might be and how much it would cost to fix? Thank you.

Answer 1

Are you in trouble? Call some places where they will give you an estimate. That would be your best bet.

Answer 2

I have worked on many of these RCA (GE is made by RCA) projections. in a couple of them I found they had arcing flyback transformers. if you listen in the back you can probably here it snapping at turn on. that is about a $250 to $300 repair. Next time buy a quality set and not the cheapest and you will avoid problems like this
