Warren; If you can send me the part # of the "Main Circuit" I'll check with Mits in Markham, and see if it's available. May not be cost effective. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren C." <warrenca@xxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 12:40 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Mitsubishi VS-4551C chassis VZ2 No start up > Leonard > I've checked today with the scope on the secondary diodes and my suspicions were > confirmed. > No activity thru the transformer at all. > The main regulator has almost a sine wave form bouncing up and down slightly on > pin 5.(About 40V PP) > I believe that this pin should have a flat pure dc voltage on it about 20 V > All the primary caps have been changed and the resistors have been checked. > As noted earlier the regulator has been changed too.
