Symptom: Repeat shorting of Q906 and opening of R934. Q906 is the High Voltage output transistor and R934 is in series with Q906 (both on the Signal/Deflection module). CAUSE: In several cases, the cause has been a shorted blue CRT. Often the faceplate of the CRT is cracked at one of the mounting ears, which drastically reduces the vacuum inside the CRT leading to HV short. SOLUTION: Check for a cracked blue CRT if Q906 is found shorted on the Signal/Deflection module before replacing Q906 or installing a new Signal/Deflection module. Replace the CRT if it is cracked. Remember to replace R934 if Q906 is shorted. Note: Fluid leaked onto the Combo block can also cause Q906 to short. Also, if the second anode lead hole in the anode cap of any of the 3 CRT's is not filled with RTV, the high voltage can arc out of the unsealed hole and blow Q906.

Q906/R934 fail on power up. We have inspected for cracks in the CRT's but have found none. Where exactly does the CRT usually crack? Any other information as to function of Q906/R934 would be helpful as we are working without a schematic. Any other tips/schematic/info would be greatly appreciated. > TIA. > Mike Jensen > Sound Pro > Rapid City, SD > Fax: 605-348-2252 > soundpromikej@xxxxxxxxxxx > soundproservice@xxxxxxxxxxxx > **************************************************************************** * > Classifieds!
