we only replace the boards as a pair and all three crt resistors we had the same problem as you also test the hv splitter for cracks and @50-52 K ohms across the gray wires, if the old number A-17196-05 is still in the set it gets an new A-171796-12 included if they dont approve estimate we walk away with no head aches Robert tvservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx H & H Electronics Inc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry E" <videotech@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 11:50 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Zenith Z52Z95D 9-1674 no video, red crt blurry/smeared convergence issues > Hi Guys, This Z52Z95D has the 9-1674 sweep and 9-1690 converg boards, complaint was no video has sound, > replaced the 9-1674 module, set came up fine, but video was not good, when the weather channel, CNN, etc. > puts up letters there is a green haze around the letters, put up the customers cross hatch and the red & blue > horizontal is missing (from top of screen to bottom) the green is there, all 3 colors are there vertically(left to right) > pulled R3243 behind the horiz. heatsink the 110K and R3244 the 82K as this is a known failure for the horiz. > convergence bars missing, they are both good out of circuit, looked into the lenses and the red video is smeared/ > washed out looking, this does not show up on the screen?? sprayed R5102 with freeze mist and red crt went blank, > sprayed same resistor on green crt board and green blanked out, I did not have 110K 1/2 watts with me so couldn`t > change them, before I could go out there today and replace them the customer called and said the set has > again failed with same problem, no video has sound, he shuts off set for 1/2 hour and set runs normally for 45 minutes > then loses video again. This is the third time in 1 month that I have had similiar symptoms with the 1674/1690 > combination of boards, convergence goes out, replace the 1690, set runs 24 hours and convergence fails again, > or no video/dead set, replace 1674 set runs for 1-2 days and repeats the failure, if I replace both boards at the > same time I`m not getting the re-call, this is killing my bottom line with all these freebie return calls, is anyone else > running into this scenario?? Ed at Tri-State Module says Sears will now only change them as a pair, too many > recalls, any ideas? Sorry for the long post, I have 2 customers waiting on me to "fix their set" Larry E > Larry Eastman > American TV & Electronics > Crystal River, Fl. 34428 > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > This Email List is Public.
