Yeah, make sure the HV regulator circuit is regulating. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valley TV" <valleytv@xxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2003 10:56 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Toshiba TZ50V61..HV too high? > Hi guys! > > Customer called with Toshiba TZ50V61 with only front red light blinking. I immediately thought "this will be easy" and made sure that I had the 2 STK's for convergence and an audio out chip with me (in case). I was surprised to find a hv arc coming from the anode cap of the green crt instead! I removed the cap, cleaned the area, installed a new cap and sealed it. Great pix! Thought this was certainly better than replacing the STK's! > Three days later the customer called and said the set was arcing again. I went back with a new green crt assembly even though I was sure that I had done a good "seal" job. > Surprise.. The HV divider assembly had cracked open on the side and hv was arcing everywhere. I thought this was really too much of a coincidence so I ran out to the truck for the hv probe. Of course it had been a LONG time since I used the probe in my truck and was not happy to see that it only measured up to 30KV. Well, it pegged the probe but I know that the hv in this set would be 35kv with nothing connected to the crts. > I ordered the divider and it arrived Friday night but I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this before I return. > > TIA > > Gary > Valley TV- Berwick, Pa office > -- > __________________________________________________________ > Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com > http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup > > CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.
