I had similar problem on KP53v25 the vertical drive was very low and distorted from the jungle chip. was opening 2.2ohm1/8 watt resistor on -15 volt to vert output. replaced output and resistor with no change, found jungle chip to be at fault replaced IC301 #875206350/cxa1477as Robert supertek66@xxxxxxxxxxx robert_herring@xxxxxxxx H&H Electronics Inc Dallas,Tx. 75233 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph Dorsey" <Merlin-Wizard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 11:01 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: [Fwd: Sony PTV KPR-53EX35 (Aug.91) intermitt. shut down then black screen.fix] > > bravo,,finally someone that gets a fix and takes the time to give the whole > story from beginning to end. this is what we need more of > > Phil Bader wrote: > > > -------- Original Message -------- > > Subject: Sony PTV KPR-53EX35 (Aug.91) intermitt. shut down then black > > screen.fix > > Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 10:31:07 -0400 > > From: Phil Bader <philbad@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Organization: Jan Phyl TV Inc.
