I recently came across an interesting repair case involving the Changhong TV model 2588. This was a Toshiba-based two-chip TV that originally won a gold award when it was first launched. However, due to its complex design and high failure rate, it often developed some strange and hard-to-diagnose issues. One day, I encountered a Changhong 2588K unit that had sound and characters but no picture. The AV input showed a blue screen, and while playing VCDs, sometimes shaking the bottom plate would temporarily fix the issue. Initially, I suspected a cold solder joint, but the previous technician had already re-soldered the board multiple times, and everything looked perfect on the surface. After a careful inspection with a magnifying glass, I found that two wires connected to the P6 (VIDEO OUT) pin on the TA7680 board were loose, specifically outside of the TA7698 38. Once these connections were properly secured, the problem was completely resolved. Interestingly, this specific connection is not present in other models and isn’t marked on the local schematic, which means this fault only occurs in the Changhong 2588 TV.
