Damon, I'd try another Vert Output IC to be sure ( Different batch....no SK's!!!) Also...my notes show the zener should be an 11V...not a 10V.

I had replaced the LA 7838 vertical output, along with c4000 and c4006 which are the 28 volt power supply filtering caps, the 10 volt zener diode on pin 1 of the ic, and also had a dead SMPS output ic which isn't even associated with the vertical circuit. When I installed the new vertical ic, it didn't even work, fortunately I had another one, installed it and it ran fine for 2 weeks. Now I'm back on the job again with a dead vert ic and wondering if I ran into a bad batch of LA7838's or if I'm missing something on this repair. > > Here's what I'm seeing: 10 volts is present on Pin 1, sync is present on pin 2, my 28 volt supply is running at 14 volts (this uses a 28 v Ihvt supply) and the diode and resistor on the 28 v supply measure good. Looks like the vert output is loading down the 28v supply, but nothing is smoked. the vert yokes each measure 2 ohms for a total of 6 ohms, so I don't think I should be looking at that..... Any body had any problems like this? The vert pump up diode measures ok too. > > Thanks to anybody who has seen this problem and can resolve this. > > Help make your TechAssist online repair tips > database better!
