There may be many capacitors in the power supply and scan amplifier sections
that have become off value from age and use. You may find it more feasible to get a new set, considering the age of your set. -- JANA _____ "cherry6905" wrote in message lkaboutelectronicequipment.com... Hello my Tv has sound but no picture.

If it was still good, get a tech to look at it, probably a couple hundred bucks to have it fixed, not much you can do yourself unless you've got some experience with TV repair. |

Yes those pesky 100uF jobs near the 78XX series regulators right before
your eyes when you take the back off. May check good with ESR meter. Of course these arent going to be the only ones bad. A tech would pay attention to any lytics near the HOT and HVOT draiver transformers and of course the 100uF in the vertical. Of course if the OP hasn't done service, it's best to send it in. About $200 or so later you get the set back all tuned up with the picture looking like new. I have yet to see a CRT failure on a VSXX43,44 or 45 series. These sets are also prone to coolant leaks and quite a few techs I know of install gutters. It looks ugly, but when the coolant does leak, at least you don't have to spend hours cleaning the PC boards. I forget if these sets are the VZ9 or whatever series, but looking at the newer sets, I like them more and more. JURB |

Likely a bad capacitor in one of the low voltage supplies. Unless you have
some experience with these and the right test equipment and a schematic, you will likely chase your tail. Typically see a few bad caps with high ESR or DA in this model.
