RCA 14" "Tru-Flat" Model 14F512T (Chassis M123L)

[dewdude]

Hey all,

I've got one of these things in my kitchen...I think I picked it up about...a year ago....maybe two...but..I haven't had it very long.

anyway, sitting around this morning, watching TV, drinking coffee...and the thing cuts off...it didn't just power down, it hardcore just...went out.

I know it could be a number of things...does anyone have any experience with this piece of crap (i call it a piece of crap because with the fact that *anything* i've owned with the RCA moniker...well, has been a piece of crap...but also breaks within a year)...maybe a service manual, troubleshooting guide i could maybe follow? I don't wanna blindly jump in to trying to fix the thing.

And before you ask...yes, i'm fully aware of the dangers of the flyback and high voltages inside the thing....I do work on CGA video monitors for acrade games...
