This is only the 2nd CTC203 I've worked on. I have this GE TV model 32GT740 chassis CTC203CA9 with shorted HOT Q4401 and reg. transistor Q4101 and open fuse. Haven't checked resistors yet but diodes all check ok. I have tested the flyback with my HR flyback tester and it shows a good collector waveform, 39kV output and no indication of problems. I have read tips that suggest the flyback is usually bad if the HOT is shorted. Is it a case where it shorts under full load? My HR tester hasn't been wrong yet so I'm wondering if it is a given that the flyback should be replaced regardless. What is the part number for this flyback? Thanks for any help. -- Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics Guelph Ontario Canada Est. 1984 email: gary (at) number63.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
