Fisher PC2525

[karmaman]

Hey everyone, our main TV in the living room is having trouble. It's a US-made 1992 Fisher (Sanyo) PC2525, with a G3F-25250 Chassis. A few years ago, the built-in speakers started crackling and sometimes not working, until they both just quit. We hooked up our stereo using the AV out on the back of the TV, and we kept on trucking. After several years of this, now the rca sound out is failing too. A few months ago, the volume started going up and down, and now the right channel intermittently drops out and comes back. When the right channel drops out, it stays that way for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, then it starts working, then it drops out again, etc. etc. The problem is not the stereo. I cracked open the set, and right in the middle of the Audio section of the PCB is a burnt up resistor. The resistor is green and 2W, but the code on it is unreadable. The area on the PCB around the resistor and the resistor legs both look burnt. I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this, since I've already fixed two TV's before, my parents expect me to fix this one. If anyone has a Sams for this set, the burnt resistor is R608.

Thanks a ton.
