I measured various PSU voltages, just to be sure: 19.77v line = 18.77v 12.10v(A) line = 12.40v 12.10v(B) line = 12.36v 12.09v(A) line = 12.39v 160v line = 155v 11.60v line = 9.80v (measured from C559 instead of L351 because I didn't bother playing this game of Where's Waldo long enough)

If you plan on doing this kind of thing any more than this one set, a scope is a pretty core tool in electronics troubleshooting |

About the H disable circuit - I'm seriously stumped as to why it's being activated. Hopefully our lord and savior Sams' shall yield thy answers...

I'm not suggesting that it's the most likely problem, but it's a possible problem that should be fairly easy to check out with a multimeter. Quote:

I read about H osc. disabling circuits in other Panasonic TVs. It pumps up H frequency to eliminate X-Ray risk if HV is found to be above spec. Which might explain why the picture is so bright & shrinks sometimes. But most other sets from other brands simply shut down if HV is too high.
I can't test the HV without a high voltage meter though.

The lack of color & white horizontal dots seriously concern me. Honestly, I'm almost at my wits end with all these failures! Considering just sending this set off to Multi Media Medic in Maryland.

Interesting. I live in Maryland but I didn't know about that guy. I used to always go to a dude in Silver Spring called Danco, but he's semi retired now and he won't always take stuff in if he doesn't want to. Last thing I brought to him he sat on for six months and then said he didn't want to do it lol |

Does anybody know why the color is gone & how to fix? You can kind of see it but just barely.

In an attempt to cripple the H disabling circuit I left R539 open, and switched the set on. I've never seen the HOT blow out quicker!
I give up.

Well I tried calling this Multi Media Medic man today and he didn't pick up. Left him a voicemail but I doubt I'll get anything back.
Please, enlighten me to any other repair shops or techs in Maryland or Virginia. I cannot bring myself to work on this set anymore. If anything, I can sell it for parts on eBay or something...

MUSTS HAVES !
Power supply must be 130 VDC under both zero beam current or max ( full normal brite ) beam current. & varying line voltage. If not suspect Q801. Too bright. REPLACE C559 no matter what, its very common on ALL brands of TV's, Its in the top ten TV problems. Lots of different symptoms too ! G2 must be about @ 300 VDC too high = too bright. CRT cathodes need to be @100 VDC. Too low too bright & visa versa. Blows HOT. Be sure its running cool. If not it WILL give up soon. NOTES : The FBT's in this era of Pannys / Quasars were trouble. Usually windings shorted & it cooked, crackled, smoked then blew the HOT. It ended the TV often. On yours it MAY be it has a bad triple / divider section. Last keep in mind to do things right you need: a variac / isolation transformer(S). quality meter & good 100 + Mhz scope with 1 KV probes. Anything less is pushing it. Just think of the $ in blown parts you will save if you do more sets. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

I've already done a near-full recap.
