Hi Jeff, Thank you for the tips from the T R CD. The solution was similar to the second tip. After many hours and swapping of parts, the problem turned out to be 1 of 2 15K-3 watt resistors in parallel going open. R245 and R250 supply 150 volts to 9 volt zener diode which supplies 9 volts to pin 26 of IC 101. How in the world could only one go open when they are both in parallel with each other? =20 Kevin Wilks Kevin's TV & Video Repair Penticton BC Canada kevinstv@xxxxxxx=20 -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeff Dougherty Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 7:58 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: MTC 14" TV, MTV-1428 relay clicks no HV.

Hi fellow techs, Relay clicks on, B+ goes to 155 volts, should be 125. No HV. Vcc for TA8680 is only 0.6 volts, should be 9 volts for 15kHz output. Tried to trace VCC source (9 volts) but couldn=92t find it. Does anyone have the schematic for this TV? It looks like this TV is in shutdown mode.
