5 blinks is an IK failure but normally the set will turn on, blink a few times while CRT is warming up, then shut down with the 5 blink code repeating. All the time while the CRT is warming up the HV, H deflection, Vertical, ETC are all present. Immediate shut down with 5 blink code makes no sense. Are you sure the other shop is telling it like it is? I normally ignore any post that says "assisting another shop" because of how the story changes from one mouth to another. Are they seeing the 5 blinks during the short time the set is trying to turn on? If so that is not an error code. Does the set turn on with a remote? There is a tip for no remote and when turned on manually it turns itself off. If that applies check the following. TV doesn't respond to remote and when turns on manually it turns itself OFF. Found switch S1002 on the HS board defective. Also check, the diode D006 on the A Board IC1001/42 (Key Line) can also cause symptoms of remote, or TV function miss-operations. ******************************** Since 1972 * Jim Myers * Telrad Electronics * Fort Wayne Indiana * ******************************** Phil Bader wrote: > During the instant before shut down during power up, HV reaches 25KVm for a > "microsecond", > Has +/- 12 and 15v on vert out IC. +200V at CRT OK.
