The pcb damage could also have involved other components and there
might be a hidden crack in one of the crt bias resistors. Check all
the resistors involved with the G2 pin especially near the pcb crack.
An "open" resistor in G2 circuit could easily make the picture white.
Hopefully that's all the damage there is. Good luck!

AP Hey there! I got a small tv with a broken pcb on the neck of the crt,
AP the owner took it apart and carelessly broke it... worked fine before
AP (I wonder why he took it apart...).
AP I carefully soldered across all contacts with small wires, but now I
AP obtain only a whiter than white picture with a slightly reduced height
AP (brightness control totally uneffective)... Could I have accidentaly
AP damaged any component while soldering, or could it have been caused by
AP operating the tv with the broken pcb? Where should I start looking
AP first? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
AP regards
