sounds like a bad crt shorted elements i found the same thing in a pansonic today. Measure the blue input at the pix tube and compare with the red and green. blue is probably real low or 0 this causes the blue gun to be on full and will cause shut down with too much screen current .try to clean and balance the picture ture with your rejuvnator and sometimes you can clear the short ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregs Email" <hungary@xxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 9:14 PM Subject: [TechAssist] GE model# 09GP344 (Chassis TX808) > Hi Techs, > I have a GE model# 09GP344 (Chassis TX808) that came in the shop this morning experiencing shutdown problems. After the power button was pressed, HV was present for approx 3 sec and then shut down. During the time it was on, a blue raster with heavy retrace lines was present. After removing the cover I turned down the screen control to minimum, pressed the power button again. This time the unit turned on a stayed on. With a cable signal connected, Sound was present, but the raster was still bright blue with retrace lines. There was also no OSD, but channels and volume did change. Has anyone seen this before????
