Nope Robert...checked all that and tried a new OEM part. Finally got Thomson tech line, who don't want to mess with it and authorized a new deflection board, if it's available.

Could be they miss marked the part bag, has happened several times before. Try subbing in a diode like AU02 (nte552) or MUR460, 243636, nte506 Robert tvservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx H & H Electronics Inc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Intrepid Video Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Techassist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 6:17 PM Subject: [TechAssist] TA RCA D52W20/ATC221/starts 3x's after replacing CRT > > I hope someone has seen this before..Between the multiple problems and waiting for parts, I've had this > set for a few weeks. > Original problem was burnt green CRT..replaced. > Then set would come on, green got real bright and shut down.
