Hi members, I'm still struggling with this 40" Mits. I need some additional help. I have replaced the Vertical out IC (LA7833), and repaired all bad looking connections. I replaced a couple of E-caps, that I thought for sure would fix the problem, cause they tested bad. The problem has shifted from intermittent vertical after warm-up, to a solid 2" vertical deflection problem in the middle. I need someone to look at the schematic of this set, and provide me with a list of all the e-caps in the vertical ckt. I may have missed checking one somewhere along the line. Also, I see that C-454 is missing, but if I remember correctly, it was never there to start with, unless it fell out when I removed the solder. If it needs to be there, then I need to know the correct value, so I can install a new one. Thanks for taking the time to help me. I am trying to fix this one on the floor, cause I have no help to lift it onto the bench. I have pulled the chassis 3 times, and would like to be more successful on the 4th attempt.
