Default Vertical problems on PTK195


Washing goes like this: HOT tap water (nearly 70C) TSP then rinse then
hot water & oxiclean, rinse throughly, then alochol drenching for
assisting drying. Then dried carefully with heat gun. Yes did both
sides. Done two before with success. That's for only 4" band along
front area where coolant tend to hit anywhere; audio amp, micro,
pincushion and vertical circuits.

I was told by the RCA rep to use an ammonia based cleaner like Windex for
the first wash as ammonia breaks up the glycol coolant. Have done many that
way, windex, followed by water/tsp, then distilled water rinse and alcohol
to aid drying. I reccomend some compressed air, make sure to blow out from
under connectors /components. If the fluid has been on there a while be sure
to check for corrosion underneath components, had that problem before on a
Samsung with fluid problems. Cleaned it and the HOT kept failing, the drive
transformer had conductive goo underneath it.
