Looks like your cathode voltage is too low too. Did you check your 200V line. al marquardt ampm@xxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon" <DAMON101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:36 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Samsung TV, model TXJ2554 chassis K51A -black screen SAMS 4256 > > I get a feeling ( 8-0).....that your screen control is messing with your > cathode voltage. and this unit I believe has IK feedback. > Yeah your screen voltage is too low, isn't there a boosted supply tied into > the screen control circuit on this?
