Hey guys, this is my first troubleshooting post here. Glad to be among you here in the forums. Ok, so I just picked up a 1995 RCA Proscan (PS35122) 35" CRT TV and so far it has no signs of life. When the TV is plugged in there is no standby light or power. I tried using the remote and the power button on the TV to no avail. I took the back off the TV and noticed what looked like a broken thermistor and also a broken resistor. Upon further inspection there appeared to be a stain on the PCB from what looks like a leaking capacitor maybe, hard to tell. Since the back of the TV was off I checked the voltage on the power supply and it checked good. Also checked the main fuse and it was good. One thing I thought was strange was I was taking the board out of the housing to dust it off to do a closer inspection and I noticed when I went to ground the anode there was no spark. This TV has been sitting up for a while so maybe that's common for it to have no spark when grounded. So that's basically where I am on it. There are a couple of parts I can replace, but I'm having trouble identifying the thermistor, maybe someone can help with the ID? Also, this is my first go at a CRT TV so any help or guidance is much appreciated. If anyone would like to see more pics of the board or any part please let me know, I'd be happy to upload them.
