Hi Rick: You should get a pulse at the base for about 2 seconds when you power up. Try this. Cut trace at pin 1 and apply 13 volts at pin one with a amp meter in your 13 volt suppy,and power up and you should get around 35 ma. If you hear a crack at the second and it shuts down your flyback is bad.Barry barrystv@xxxxxxx Barrys TV 613 224 3406 Ottawa.Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mitchs Electronics" <Mitchstv@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 10:45 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Rca CTC-169CL5 lightbulb placement? > > Barry, don't see anyway to defeat reset.
