I know i sound like a grumpy old man, when i say this. but, How many times does it have to be posted, to check for loose solder connections, and check electrolytic with ESR meter. Shoot, i guess i am a grumpy old man. lol in all honesty, i dont see the need for 8 people to post a fix, of check solder connections and electrolytics around the vertical IC. and the fuse resistor off the flyback, for a white line symptom, every time some one has that symptom. but doesnt read the data base, it obvious this is not a tech making his living fixing tvs. however i love to read about an unusual symptom and repair, for instance the coil in the CTC203, not making connection due to varnish on leads , but not after the 50th time. Also thank you's are appreciated, but could be part of the report of the repair success. I still love this list and read every post though. I should just delete this message and be quiet, sorry just my thoughts this morning, Larry J Silverman wrote: > Thats right!
