Ken, Which chassis is this? If it's one that uses L14401...be sure to remove it, clean the leads and resolder. support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FAX 717-564-4952 Jeff Dougherty Intrepid Video & Electronics Be careful of your thoughts. 501 Luther Rd They may become your words Harrisburg, PA 17111 any moment. 717-909-8844 VCR tips, electronics info & general interest. www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net www.thetoolcaddy.com www.9-11-2001tragedy.com *********************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: <gulftech@xxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 1:00 PM Subject: [TechAssist] RCA F32632SB Horizontal output transistor runs hot. Techs, This set came in with a shorted HOT (Q4401/217654/BUH517). Replaced HOT, checked driver transformer & C4306. Repaired TGP. HOT ran hot. Tried two other transistors. Also ran hot. These were RCA originals. Pulled one from a working set. Also ran hot. At the suggestion of a friend, put in a 2SD1556. Runs cool as can be. Don't claim to understand why. Just reporting the facts.
