Then you can rule out both, Judge. Have you checked the HV caps and the flyback pulse for good 12 uS shape? This is what you wrote::: The waveform on the base of the...<<what??>>.... looks good,but the >>> applitude only 35 volts pp with signal instead of 50.3 pp. Now is it your driver transistor, the one that powers the Final Horiz output that keeps blowing, along with the SMPS transistors???? Or is it regulators , rather than the SMPS outputs like you mentioned (ie 9V or 5V, tho' that makes no sense whatsoever). If the driver transistor is dying, then logicly that cap you replaced is most likely (.47 for decoupling??? I'd think 1uf is better for that) Try another one, but the next thing is the drive transformer may be shorted causing the transistor to dissipate more power...how about the Horiz output....has it been replaced?? Is it at least an original part??? Is that what keeps shorting?? Damon Brunger Telrad Electronics Ft.
