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

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.

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.

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, David Lessard Mr_fixit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Alexandria, Ontario, Canada K0C-1A0=20 -----Original Message-----=20 From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx=20 [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Wayne Vanaman Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 3:48 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: RCA 27" TV - CTC167CS - Dead After Storm=20 David:=20 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 Wayne Vanaman Omega Electronics 6904 W Fairfield Dr Pensacola, Fl. 32506-3310=20 Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WWW.PensacolaTVRepair.Com=20 850-456-5995 voice 850-458-6369 fax=20 David Lessard wrote:=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.

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 Wayne Vanaman Omega Electronics 6904 W Fairfield Dr Pensacola, Fl. 32506-3310=20 Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WWW.PensacolaTVRepair.Com=20 850-456-5995 voice 850-458-6369 fax=20 David Lessard wrote:=20 I stand corrected, I measure 11.7VDC at C605.

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, David Lessard Mr_fixit@xxxxxxxxxxxx Alexandria, Ontario, Canada K0C-1A0=20 ----------------------------------------------=20 -----=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- This Email List is Public.
