Toshiba 53HX71 convergence block woes
Greetings,
Went out on a call, Toshiba 53HX71, Green convergence was way out on the upper part of the screen, checked convergence the blocks, found one section of one of the STK392-110 blocks shorted, it took out the 1.8 ohm resistor that fed thru that section. I replaced both blocks all 3 1.8 ohm resistors for that block, checked all the other power resistors around both blocks, they were OK, thought I had it fixed. I went through the basic remote alignment, looked fine, went on my way. well, about a week or so later the customer called back, so I stopped over, now has red foldover in very upper corner after it warms up after about an hour or so on, thought I got a bad block so I pulled both blocks out and replaced them, better safe than sorry, so I thought. It still has foldover on the red uppermost left corner after it warms up. I noticed that the one of 1.8 ohm resistors I replaced was discolored. I was wondering if, perhaps, I have a leaky cap problem. Or, perhaps, did not do the alignment properly and the convergence amps are driving too hard. It now acts like a leaky cap problem, you know, cap that is slowly changing into a resistor... I pulled the board completely out, took it back to my shop and blew it off thinking I would be able to see some leakage, or, perhaps discolored caps, all look fine. Is there something that is common to these beasts? I've replaced the convergence blocks on these chassis before, which usually takes care of the problem... I don't have a schematic, or screen overlay. Is there a procedure that I'm missing? I remember a few years ago that I could call up a more detailed crosshatch alignment screen using the remote. Just don't see many of these. to email me direct just remove the NO_SPAM Thanks In Advance, Markus |

Markus..
Best to change those 110,s to 150, also make sure that they are original and not some el_cheapo generic. (There are lots floating around) kip Markus" wrote in message ...
