Hi,

T461 FBT # TFB4166BH was the cause. I put a 100W bulb in the B+
line (opened trace) to FBT. The bulb was bright when I turned on TV.
Note: Out of circuit, the FBT tested fine using a FBT tester, etc.

Original post:

I have a Toshiba TV 27AF41, ch TAC0114 (mfg 12/01) (Photofact 4577)
in my shop. I don't have SM. When you try to turn on the TV, it goes on for
a fraction of a second then off. Then the front panel LED starts blinking.
I was able to see (scope) a flyback pulse briefly (used a loop around FBT
core), but I didn't have a good view of the pulse condition. I plugged the
TV into a 90 VAC source, but the results were the same. Note: My customer said
this problem wasn't caused by a storm. He said, "the TV was turned off, then the
next time someone tried to turn it on, it wouldn't go on."

Did you have the same type of problem with this model TV?

Thanks in advance, Brad
