Hi David,

     Last CTC169 I did with the same symptoms needed an EPROM.

                                        HTH,
                                          Lindsey           =20

Received micro and installed it, TV fired-up but no video, no audio, no
OSG. Turning up the screen level on FBT I see retrace lines and a
purplish screen. I'm going to check voltage around jungle IC; it's
possible I may need a jungle IC too. Any pointers/tips would be
appreciated.

Gentlemen,

I'm not able to locate a used part for this chassis. Customer would like
to keep this nice wooden cabinet TV for sentimental reasons. PCB
location is U3101 - microcontroller. Number on the IC:

1A66111-01E
2 9131
TCE1991

If anyone has this micro in there junk pile(s) please email me in
private naming your price.

David - Do you have a part # or a number off of the U3101?

Thanks for the service manual Eric. Once in hand it was easy to trace
the problem to U3101 pin 42, Vcc to ground is shorted, no shorts
anywhere else. Now to find one! Does anyone have a used one kicking
around? I don't believe this chassis's micro is still available. Of
course I won't know if anything else is a problem until I get the micro
replaced.=20
Thanks in advance,
God bless you all,

I don't see the 12V going too many places, but of course the 5V is all
over the place.=20
On the 5V reg q4160e is a coil L3101, this splits the "two" 5V supplies
and lifting one end might tell which path the current is following. The
SAMS says q4161 has a 29mA current flow, for what that is worth, but=20
they don't tell us about the 5V paths.=20

Thanks for the information Wayne. I just noticed that Q4161 gets quite
hot after just a minute, so I have a short somewhere off this
transistor, now just to find it. I'll let you know what I find. I may
have a few more questions before this is all over.=20

Hi David:=20
The on/off command comes from the micro, U3101p18. U3101 pins:=20
18 on/off
31-32 crystal
33 reset low
40 data
41 clock
42 5v=20
The reset pin, 33, is feed by the 12v supply true zener cr3101 with
r3116 2400 ohms to ground.=20
The 12 V supply is sourced by transformer T4601, diodes cr4601-4. Q4161c
connects to cr4603/4 cathodes and is 22v. Q4161e is the 12V standby
source, which also feeds q4160, the 5V standby reg. Q4160e being the 5v
supply.=20
It has been a long time since I have seen one of these, so this is from
memory. Looking down at the component side of the board with the tuner
on your left. Towards the left hand side look for a diode that in
standby has voltage on the anode but not on the cathode, if so, change
it.=20

Gentlemen,=20
I can not find my service manual for this older chassis, lent it out=20
and=20
it never came back. Does anyone have an e-copy they could send along?
Standby PS is working, 16VDC is present at the bridge rectifier off
secondary of standby transformer however relay doesn't activate when
"ON" button is pressed. Where does secondary standby voltage go after
this, regulator? I've only worked on (3) of these ever before, a
troubleshooting guide and/or service manual would be greatly
appreciated.=20
Thanks in advance,
