    Panasonic AG-1000B VHS player with bad picture quality

    Hello!

    I recently got an old VHS player from Panasonic and just for fun I want to try to repair this device. It is an AG-1000B portable VHS player from 1990 and it has a problem with picture quality in playback mode.

    Picture in playback mode is very noisy and often loses sync but the still images are nearly perfect.

    I want to know, is this something that could be solved by recapping or is the video head likely gone?

    Also, what mechanism is this?

    Any feedback is appreciated!

    Issue with picture quality of Sony bravia TV
    by CyberPhoenix
    Hello, Last week I bought the 50" Sony X80j tv everything was working fine, untill I plugged the tv in a ups power supply 650va the tv remote control became unresponsive and the TV became laggy after a while the picture quality isn't the same as before the tv seems less brighter and the picture is somehow blurry, people's faces don't look as natural as before, there is a mini orange-pink tint to the edge of people's faces especially in NETFLIX Dolby Vision like in One Piece ep1 Alvida skin tone, my intention was to protect the tv but something went wrong I checked the ups with a multimeter,...

    Panasonic TH-65FX800A backlight LED's working but picture is very dark
    by Bazfletch3
    Hi all

    While I have quite a decent background in electrical & electronic troubleshooting & repairs, this is my first time stripping down an LCD TV for repair.... I have inherited a 3yr old Panasonic LCD which has a picture, but it is quite dark (too dark to be watchable - but still quite easy to see; I didnt need a torch to see it).

    I started by checking and trying to adjust all of the picture and backlighting levels, but that made little to no difference. I also did a factory reset.

    From there I envisaged that the backlighting wasn't working, however...

    T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)

    Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

    The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

    Original T-con:
    Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

    First replacement T-con:

    I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

    SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
    by JJAAMM
    This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

    Problem
    TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

    Panasonic TH-55AS670A no picture no sound
    by mar1in
    Hi everyone,

    I've got this Panasonic TV here with the following symptoms:

    * Standby Light is solid RED
    * Turning on using the Button on the TV (long press) would change LED to blinking GREEN
    * After a couple of seconds, LED is solid GREEN and without picture or sound.

    I've tried a couple of things before tearing it apart:

    * Resetting using various combinations of powerbutton and volume buttons pressing down while booting.
    * Activating Self Check according to service manual using IR Blaster (we have no remote unfortunately)...
