Thanks for the responses! It's nice to hear that some of us still have respect for the older technologies. I have a friend who repairs electronics but lives some distance away. I will try to get him to help me troubleshoot over the phone based on the recommendations. He actually mentioned the possibility of the high voltage being the issue when we spoke of this recently. I have working knowledge of and know my way around guitar amps but not tv's so I may ask what seem to be simple questions for you guys but complicated for me.
Sampson, is there a step by step anywhere that you know of that could guide me through the evaluation of the components you mentioned?
Radiotvnut,
1) You mention having a schematic would be helpful. Is the schematic that I show in the photo the one to help me diagnose the problem or are their others? The one in the pic I posted is attahced to the inside wall of the tv.
2) Can you point out to me, in the picture I posted, where the components you mentioned are located roughly? Would more photos be helpful?
3) Where would the model# be if I need to find more schematics.
4) Regarding the 10W reistor you mention checking if it's open. Would I be able to see that visually or is it something internal that would need to be measured.
5) You also mentioned if the tripler shorts and the tv is left on that the flyback tranny and HO resistor will be ruined. Did you mean as part of the testing procedure you outlined or now as part of the problem, because we have left it on for a minutes when we were evaluating the problem.
I can clarify further if any of my questions are not clear. Thank you guys again for your help. Your info is invaluable and hope it helps to save this set. Hope you guys can help walk me through this and I will try to confer with my friend to some extent if he's available when I get stuck.
