The symptoms are: > > First turn it on, there are thin bright lines which go all the way > across the screen, and also cover the whole screen from top to bottom. > The spacing between each line is maybe 1/8 of an inch. after about 5 > seconds, the lines dim out but can still be seen. There is no video > signal visible in the background. The background at this point is black. > Turning the G2 screen control up causes the lines to go brighter at > first but then they dim out to almost as dark as before G2 was adjusted. > > Scoping the R, G, B inputs to the CRT board shows sync but no video > information. Scoping heater waveform shows 23 V p-p from cold to warm > without fluctuation in amplitude. Measuring R, G, B pins on CRT I get > approx 185V dc on each. G1 measures zero V dc > > I have never worked on any of these XBR sets, but through reading tips, > I believe it could be one of 3 problems: > > -IK > > -caps bad in PIP module > > -bad jungle IC 301, CXA1477AS > > > I have gone over soldering on main and jungle IC boards, checked caps in > power supply and around IC 301 and changed a few marginal ones but there > is no difference in operation.
