Most all of those Samsungs use a Time delay fuse Phillip R Hull STET phil245@xxxxxxxxxxxxx FAX 517--569-3075 Professional Technicians only ----- Original Message ----- From: <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 12:13 PM Subject: [TechAssist] TA Samsung TC2540S..R415 open..FBT replaced 1 month ago > This set is back again.,.. > This time the 1.2 amp fuse is open. Customer said it failed when she pressed the power button. I found an > intermittent trace from R415. Now set will stay on for a few minutes, then the fuse opens. > I suspect the FBT which I got from ASTI, but I would think the HOT would go also. > I have no schematic, but I checked every thing I could find in the HV section..resistors, diodes, etc., > but can find no problems.

Also, replaced the fuse, HOT and R415. > Got a call today the set was dead again, just clicked on, then clicked off when pressing power. > Went over this evening to find R415 (.47/1w) open again and burnt. I replaced it with a .39 ohm and the > set worked. The color bands were burnt on this. > The B+ goes through this resistor. > I felt the resistor after running the set for a while and it didn't get real hot. > Question, could a faulty flyback cause this or a marginal reg? > Is it possible the lower value I used may increase the longevity of this component? > Thank you. > > **************************************************************************** * > Lost Password: > http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?". > Email Archives: > //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ > > ***************************************************************************** Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
