[NESDAnet] Model #: JVC av-32260am Subject: unit shuts down Reason: Bad Soldering Other Symptom: Horizontal output transistor shorted. After replacement the set would run for about 2 sec. and shutdown, or the set would run at 22Khz H and 81Hz V, the Horizontal output transistor and horizontal drive transistor would get very hot Cause: Micro ic701p55 had horizontal rate pulses instead of vertical rate pulses. On the second tuner board, corrosion between W019 and W020 measuring 19 ohms, but would change with temperature, was coupling "HP" onto the "VP" line, swamping the Vertical pulse on Q701c and into the micro. Cure: Desoldered, cleaned, resoldered W019 and W020 on the second tuner board. NOTE: The jungle IC is TB1265AN. This is also the jungle IC in the new Thomson ATC113 Chassis. At start up this IC outputs the Horizontal at 22KHz and the vertical at 81Hz. After about 2 seconds the frequencies drop to their NTSC standard. The effect here is a "soft start" in that, due to the tuning of the horizontal section, the High Voltage will only rise to about 19700v. When the frequency drops to nominal the high voltage goes on up to 29KV. Viewing the drive signal when it is running at 22Khz gives the impression that there is a problem in the drive circuit because there is distortion in the waveforms. It appears that, in the JVC chassis, the micro will tell the jungle when to frequency shift. This may or may not be the same in the Thomson chassis, I have yet to see one.
