Hi. Got a Magnavox L01-1UAC-7638. Came in, shorted HOT. Ordered Mat Elec
kit
(HOT, 2 elec caps and 2 driver transistors), put in, lasted 2 weeks. Put
another kit in 3 days ago (thinking maybe a bum part) and HOT died in
minutes. Nothing seemed overly hot, just dropped in chirp from power
supply.
No oddball solder joints or anything else obvious. Runs perfectly with
great
picture and sound, then dies with no warning.

Flyback perhaps?

Cheers, Danny



We've seen counterfeit transistors in some of these kits. Often the original
part is the only way to go.
Assuming there's no bad solder connections at the horizontal drive
transformer, you're probably looking at timing caps, (usually blue in color,
I'm told) or B+ too high.

I doubt it's the flyback.
