I have a Sony 24" KV24FV10 flat CRT set in the shop. The set doesn't start up. It just chirps continuously. On the odd occasion, the sound will come on for maybe 3 seconds then the power simply turns off. The waveforms on the HOT base and collctor are also pulsing but don't look proper. I get 39V dc on the HOT collector as it pulses. I have removed the flyback and tested it with my HR Diemen flyback tester and I get a perfect looking collector waveform with it. Tester shows flyback to be working fine (those not familiar, this tester actually connects the anode lead and drives the flyback just like the TV hor. output stage, although at a reduced test rate. I haven't had this tester fail me yet). I have also soldered the hor. driver transformer and other connections on main board and power supply board. Have checked for bad transistors diodes and resistors as well. I downloaded the manual and am looking it over now. Are there any common faults for these symptoms? I've read that the flyback is a possibility but with my test, I'm not sure what to make of that. Thanks for any help. -- Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics Guelph Ontario Canada Est. 1984 email: gary (at) number63.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
