Repairing a Mivar 16P Colour TV That Won't Turn On (by Vincenzo75)

Got an old Mivar 16P colour TV that won’t turn on anymore? In this article, a user shares their step-by-step experience fixing this vintage television, explaining the checks performed, possible causes of the failure, and the solution that worked. A great read for DIY enthusiasts and fans of retro electronics.

Appliance:
Mivar 16P CRT Colour TV

Issue:
The LED turns on, but the TV shows no signs of life.

Repair:
Upon opening the TV, I immediately identified the issue: the S1450 PTC thermistor had blown.
This fault is very common in this model. After replacing the component, the TV started working again.
While it's possible that this fault can damage other components, fortunately, that wasn't the case here.
