PM sent,
new transistor, no change in action. I have 30 volts on the hot which i think is the start up voltage, i have 320 in a different section, but don't know enough about this weird power supply. Quote:

Indeed! ... I would have let it take the temperature of the room at least 3 days before turning on the television. At least, I would have dried the circuits with a hair dryer for an hour or two by going gently so as not to soften some pieces. |

Watch for disc caps & box caps off the C of HOT. Common
for them to burn, melt or short. Also burned PCB that may be hidden under frame plastic. Noise is probably from SMPS running off freq to keep the overload from wrecking everything. Assuming HOT is not shorted see if it gets hot in 30 sec. If so probably bad FBT. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

You sound like someone with a home humidification system! I wish I had one. Where I'm at this time of year there is just a small portable unit, and it can barely do anything...A cup of water with a napkin in it will dry in under a day.

Yes at home temperature and humidity are controlled. But what I wanted to say is that if I find a TV out in the winter I will never turn on the TV right away because of the difference in temperature (cold outside and the temperature inside my apartment) . Because the risk of components leaping, is high. That's why I said earlier that I would wait at least 2 to 3 days before turning on a TV found on the street in winter ..It's absolutely necessary to let the circuits dry completely. Even the CRT should not be wet. If not, .... BOUM! . It happened to me once because I was too eager to see if the TV was working. Now I'm careful. |

Hi all, I got the service manual from Findm keepm today and spent most of the day checking everything i can, to no avail. the 2 main symptoms are low voltage in the horizontal driver circuit, expected 33 volts got 6 and the 130 supply is around 21 volts. this is one of those switching power supplies that has 2 types of protection circuits over voltage shutdown and current limiting. I've taken a pic of the waveform on the switch mode regulator what i have vs what the book says it should look like, any hint on what i should try next?

Unhook the C of the HOT & see if the voltage comes up. Also
do the heat test of the HOT. Dont forget you are working with 3 grounds on this set. Hot gnd for the primary of the PS Cold ground the chassis ground / PS secondary. I dont think this one does but some sets also had another ground for the hoz osc/out. CRT ground. Most NAPs do NOT ground the CRT dag as normal sets. We used to just grab the CRT ground but that dont work on these. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

OOPS !
Just pulled the training manual & the hoz output is also on the hot ground side ! |

Ok, i disconnected the hot and flyback from the 130v supply, voltage went up to 138 v, I connected a small 40w lightbulb from 130v to ground for a load, volts dropped to 27v. Horizontal driver supply voltage is unchanged at 6-7 volts where 33 is expected.
hmmmm. resistors that drop the 33 supply from 312 volts are good and there is a diode that somehow is supposed to bridge the 2x20k resistors and 7 volts worth of zener diodes to ground. I'm not sure how a regular diode can act like a resistor, any thoughts? Logan Quote:

I-840 - Nashville is an interesting place to say the least. My father was in a country band in the late 90's about 2 steps from making it big and it didn't pan out for them. I was up there for training a couple of of years ago. I don't think I met anybody the whole time I was there that was local!
I've yet to see any tvs on I-285. I bet they would be smashed to bits long before any of us were to come along. That and I try and stay out of atlanta anyways... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What you need is horz drive from IC340 pin 11
That goes to the optic isolator IC469. VCC for IC340 pin 10 comes from T453 / D461 Hoz drive is a must have to run the PS. Since unloaded it seems to be doing what it should I would suspect over voltage shutdown. Maybe test the small transistors by lifting 2 leads for accuracy. BTW one of our distributors made up kits for these to fix them after lightning. Worked 100%. IIRC had an isolator, 4 small transistors & a diode. The similar C3 chassis had a lot of bad FBT's Symptoms were dead set, HOT gets too warm, R460/461 get warm. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Be sure to check for cracked solder joints on the horizontal driver transformer. C5 was about the time Philips started using the driver transformers that had a metal pin on each corner of the frame (the windings soldered onto the top of the pin and the bottom of the pin came through the board)....it's a good idea to re-solder all 8 points.
A bad connection on that transformer will most always zap the horiz. output or more. |
