Troubleshoot A 1986 Big Screen Zenith Television

Zenith has long been one of the main producers of television systems. Since becoming the first manufacturer to include a remote control, Zenith has always offered some of the best equipment for the money. If you are still using a 1986 big screen television from the company you have gotten great value. However, if the TV is beginning to fail you need to troubleshoot the hardware.


Instructions


1. Check the coaxial cable connection running form the exterior audio/video equipment to the Zenith television. If this is not connected completely into both devices the audio/video signals fail to be produced by the television.


2. Connect any cable service without a receiver box or antenna to a digital to analog converter box. This is required if you want to view broadcast content on the television, as on digital signals for television service is now created.


3. Power on the television and wait for it to warm up. It make take several minutes for the TV image to load, so a prolonged period of seeing no picture is typical.


4. Look over the video image. If the picture is slightly red, green or blue it means the color spectrum inside the television is beginning to fail. Nearby electronic stores are not going to carry this replacement product, although you can try local repair facilities. These stores may know where you can obtain replacement parts, although the equipment may be expensive as it is no longer produced.


5. If the TV fails to turn on it means you have blown a fuse. These fuses are obtained just like the color spectrum--although the fuses are more readily available. Open up the rear of the TV through the access panel and remove the current fuse--it is a tubular glass device. Slide in the new fuse and the television is ready to be powered back on.
