Max: We always replace the convergence IC's when those resistors are burned. In most cases though, we replace the whole convergence board. There is another problem that can cause those resistors to blow, it is on the deflection board. That is rare though that the deflection board can cause the convergence board to fail, but we have seen it. That is why we simply stock the convergence board, if the new one fails then we know the problem is on the deflection board. Wish I could be more specific, but I am at home now, and do not have access to my records.

Replaced all 4 1ohm. resistors. It's been about a month. Customer called and said it was doing the same thing again. Does the two IC's have to replaced too? What causes these resistors to burn up? Have no print. TIA Max ===== Max Bailes Bailes Electronics Rt.4 Box57-A Hurricane,WV. 25526 304-562-7167 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
