Bill: I have never seen a stk-730 IC in a CTC169 chassis. His set should use the Chopper transistor Q4101. He needs to change the Regulator IC U4101 and C4108. Q4101 is Chopper transistor in power supply. The fix is: Change C4108 which causes high bias on Q4101 (200165) and its failure. Also replace U4101(200419). Do not sub Chopper or IC. Done 100's of these, if you do not replace IC and C4108, the set will recall in most cases. Also change C4118 and C4102 The main thing to check is your B+ in stand by which all of the above caps, if defective, will go as high as 200 volts (it's supposed to be approximately 140 volts) Perry Bower Electric Medic "It's Cheaper to Keep Her" 3850 Washington Road Suite 5b Martinez, Georgia 30907 Phone: 706-8MEDIC4 (863-3424) Phone: 706-863-3474 Fax: 706-863-2316 Website: www.electricmedic.com mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "WE REPAIR WITH CARE" More Info: www.augusta-ga.bbb.org/report.html?compid=6001278&national=y Factory Trained Authorized Service Center For: Fisher, GE, KEC/KTV, Konka, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Philips Magnavox, Pioneer, ProSCAN, RCA, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, SONY, Technics, Zenith Provide Extended care for: AON, Circuit City, GE Contracts, Glass Agency, Philips Contracts, NEW, Rex -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Premium Technologies Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 3:39 AM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: transistor Frank, Your original Q4101 should have been a D2012, and from a quick glance at the two spec sheets NTE2311 should have worked, so I would guess that's not your problem, just a symptom. Check your regulator U4101, which should be a STK730-010 and will cross with a NTE7125. Also check CR4122 and your 333k resistor at R4110, which may be taking a quite a stress if it is your regulator. Hope this helps...
