Need help with input and sync issues with JVC AV-27530
Hi all! I’ve been getting into CRT TV’s for my retro gaming addiction, hoping I can get some help learning about these beasts as they’re very different from the electronics I’m used to working on. I’m having trouble diagnosing this JVC I just picked up. I’ve never seen as issue quite like this before and Google is failing me. The TV seems to work just fine, but I can’t get a usable picture from any of the inputs. I’ll attach a video of what it looks like, possible sync issue? The coax input works and looks fine, if I use an RF modulator from a console it’s fine. But every other input, Composite, Component, and SVideo all look like this, I tested all of them from multiple sources. Also the OSD works and looks fine, and looks fine on top of the garbled picture on the inputs.
The seller I bought it from said everything was working when I picked it up he tested that day, I supposed he could have been lying but it was a $20 TV I don’t think he was. So it seems likely this happened on the car ride home, possible a broken solder joint or trace somewhere? The only thing I’ve been able to discern is if I put pressure on the main video chip on the board it will slow down the rolling picture the more pressure I put on it, could the jungle chip have gone bad somehow? I did a full inspection of the board and I don’t see any caps or connections that are obviously bad or leaking. Also sound works on all inputs.

The on-screen display is triggered internally and will always be OK even if the video sync is wrong.
I don't know enough about this chassis to speculate where you are losing sync. The odd thing to me is that vertical sync seems OK while H sync is off and free running at slightly the wrong frequency. Since it is free running, it's not surprising that touching or pressing things would change the frequency. |

This is in SAMS 5144 I do not have it. If you can find a free one
it will be MUCH easier to follow & find things. There are only 2 inputs to the micro/jungle so I would expect thats OK. The switching IC may be the problem but dont make a lot of sense. Other thing is a corrupted E-prom. But there is nothing I found about the service menus in the manual. Biggest head ache is both chips are SMD's so there are a lot of things you can not do to troubleshoot it. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Finally figured it out! It was a service menu issue. There’s a setting in the service menu called AFC. I finally sound a service manual for the D series version of this set that has the same menu. The factory spec for that setting is 0. It was set to the max of 3. Once I lowered it to anything else sync was restored. I put it at 0 and it seems fine now. Fingers crossed it’s all good!
