This Philips 27PT543S turns off after a few seconds. The sound and picture
work fine and then the power shuts down. I don't have a schematic for this
set so I decided to resolder some questionable connections to see if that
would help. It didn't. I then suggested that my client take it to a servicer
that works on Philips products thinking they would have better access to
their technical support. So he picked it up took it to another shop and for
a $40 estimate fee, they reported back to him that the CRT was weak and
needed replacement. I tested the CRT and it has very good emission. The
question now is why is this shutting down? I can't imagine a CRT that tests
good on my B&K 467 analyzer is causing the set to go into shutdown. Has
anyone come across this problem?

Thanks for your reply.
