When diagnosing signal loss in older coaxial or RCA systems, it is helpful to start by checking all cables and connections for security and any visible damage. Over time, cables can degrade, become bent, or develop corrosion, all of which can weaken the signal.
Inspecting cables for cracks, fraying, or loose connectors is important, and replacing worn or low-quality cables often improves signal quality. Testing the system with known-good cables and devices can help determine whether the issue lies with the wiring or the equipment.
Cleaning connectors to remove dust or oxidation can also improve signal strength. Additionally, any signal boosters or amplifiers in the setup should be checked, as malfunctioning devices can contribute to signal loss.
A step-by-step approach that isolates each component makes it easier to identify and address the cause of the problem.
