PTK195AP Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2001 12:59:18 -0500 From: Phil Bader <philbad@xxxxxxxxxx> Organization: Jan Phyl TV Inc. Winter Haven, Fl. Estab. 1976 To: Phil Bader <philbad@xxxxxxxxxx> References: <3BE30EF5.D49AF39C@xxxxxxxxxx> Since no vertical drive will do this, I scoped for vert. output at TP14501,got "trash",no good waveform.Went back to the vert. drive from the T chip pin at TP14502. Still nothing. So, ordered a "T" chip U16201 (LA7612N, RCA# 241266). Installed new T chip , cured the shut down. Have raster. No video. Only OSD and sound.I can enter menu setup,search channels OK (they are detected and memorised) I can hear station audio,change channels.Black screen unless I : 1) push menu and can see OSD, or, 2) Push PIP and I get a good color PIP screen.Just no main picture video. I tried direct line inputs audio/video and same symptom.Ready to scream.There is a small video switching IC next to the RCA jacks U26901,part# TEA6415C. Wonder if this is the final culprit.ANY assistance welcomed!.-Phil Phil Bader wrote: > > Projo Model P56812BL, chassis PTK195AP. Shuts down at turn on.Carried > the chassis into shop.
