These sets are known for 'Korean' Diodes in the Vertical Power B+ supply circuit.(Provides the Power to the Vertical Deflection I.C.)These Diodes check good but fail intermittently.This usually causes the fusable Resistor(In line with the Diode) to gradually open up over time.I beleive the Diode is CR4704, and the Resistor is R4703(I don't have the manual handy, but the Resistor is 2.7 Ohms in sets 25" and smaller, and 3.3 Ohms in 27" and up)This resistor also can measure ok but open up under load.If you haven't already, change this diode to a heavier one (2.5 Amp. PIV 1000). By the way, did you tap the tuner while the set was acting up?This set is also known for bad grounds inside (and around the edges) of the Tuner. --- Doug <dek@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Eprom?? > > GntLag@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > > the vert freq goes way off periodically.lasts a > few secs.pix color and > > horiz freq ok.found no cold solder joints.all ihvt > voltages ok.found no thermal problems anywhere > including T chip.all parameter adj work fine > > > > > __________________________________________________________________ > > Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and > great gift ideas.
