I repair mostly TV's. I had one CTC177 with a bad diode in the 15 volt line causing intermittent video. The voltage was dropping to 11 volts and the diode tested good out of circuit. All this proves is that we all have different experiences with what repairs we get in. Just like very few techs have ever changed a flyback in a CTC169 chassis. I have replaced 3 in 8 years.

Re: intermittent rca You're joking right, or you don't work on TV's right? You have never had a CTC169 with a bad CR4118 causing dead or intermittent or color problems? Something is not adding up here, has Google sent customers in here with us Techs? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: intermittent rca I have never had one cause a problem. What voltage line is CR4118 on? Should I be replacing them when I have never seen one fail?

Re: intermittent rca Please put Make, Model (or Chassis), and Problem in subject line. Then email can be filed Automatically, Thanks. CR4118 should go without saying. Of course it will fix intermittent operation. That is the first part we change on all CTC169's regardless of customers problem. I would think all shops would change this on all CTC169 repairs, we do, don't we?

This diode causes a lot of strange symptoms.
