Monitor the clollector of Q4107 for 15vpp H-pulse (- going) from FBT and pin 2 of U4101 for 3 vpp H-pulse (+ going). This is the input to the regulator for the duty cycle of the chopper. Check the values of the resistors R4114, 15, 16, 18. This is the network that supplies the B+ sample to the error amp q4105. This info comes from Bob Rose's book on RCA TV servicing, BTW, I'm not that smart a guy... It is a good source for an overview of many RCA chassis and their problems that will often point you in the right direction as a start. This circuit can be tough to troubleshoot without a good reference if it is not the routine problems like the caps or reg IC. Leonard G.

Power supply will shut down within 5 seconds after plugged in because of overvoltage. I monitored these voltages when plug was engaged before shutdown. Any tips for this symptom, Thanks Neil > TV Doctors > Monroe,Wa > **************************************************************************** * > The Tech Address Book: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html > Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html > Lost Password: > http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?". > Email Archives: > //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ ***************************************************************************** The Tech Address Book: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?".
