I have a rca tv model#f32648 noise from back and no picture.cnn you help?

so far no proper details are available regarding resetting this particular TV ( f32648 ) .... i have checked user manual also

have you tried following things

1 - playing different dvds (dvd player )
2 - changing different channels ( cable tv or antenna )
3 - increasing ( to maximum ) & decreasing ( to minimum ) [in menu ]
contrast colour tint black level sharpness
picture presets auto colur colour warmth
4 - auto channel searching ( cable tv or antenna )

even after these trials if picture is in black & white then it is a hardware problem - since it is a rare problem no details are available about which component might have got deffective ...... only the service engineer who opens & checks your tv can tell the exact deffective component .......... sometimes it can be loose connection ( cracks at soldering joints - hit your TV lightly with your hand on left side or right side or on top - if color comes & goes then it is loose connection problem - all soldering joints should be resoldered by service engineer ) ..... or an IC might have got deffective ......... only after opening & checking your tv mainboard exact deffective component can be identified ......

for nearest RCA service center call 1800 336 1900 ( this number got from your TV's user manual - click this link for your TV's user manual - free down load - RCA F32648 model - http://download.rca.com/FilesForRCAcom/Manuals/15491880.pdf

Look at the back of the tv, look to the right should be an opening for an adjustment, small screw driver adjusts screen.

Flyback transformer part number for a tv RCA F32648

This isn't a solution but I am unable to acccess the input either. My tv is hooked to a dvd,vcr and direct tv satellite with a dvr. I watched a movie on the dvd and the tv won;t allow me to switch the input back to satellite tv.

possibe dirty switch. Pull the back of the TV off and unclip the panel that has the switches in it. Spray contact cleaner into the switch while pressing repeatedly. Common problem with these TVs. will take about 10 minutes...good luck

Looks like the projection is fried. I'm afraid you would have to exchange for new one if you can or purchase new Tube.

My daughter is having the same problem with the same model tv.. I had a bit of trouble finding the manual for that tv at the RCA web-site --- but I did find it at Amazon.

The URL for the pdf version of the manual is:

Assuming you have the remote for the tv, there are instructions in the manual for setting up the relationship between the DVD player and the TV.

(The URL for the TV on Amazon is: http://www.amazon.com/RCA-F32648-32-TV/dp/B000050FZR The link to the manual is toward the bottom, in the Product Details section.)
