Zenith Vertical Deflection Problems
Hello
I have a Zenith TV. Model ZB2771h. The picture takes up only about half of the screen now, and it has gotten worse over time. I noticed before that as the TV warmed up, it grew from about 1/3 of the screen to about 2/3 of the screen. I have replaced the capacitors around IC2100, but it did not change anything. I did find one bad capacitor. Also. I can not find a schematic anywhere online. Any ideas? Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I should do. Thank You The Smoker King |

Zenith Vertical Deflection Problems
Hello,
Are the black spaces above and below the visible screen parallel? If they look keystone, you may have a bad deflection yoke. Also, what is the actual service model number and manufacture date on the set? With this info [white sticker on back of set], I can check history on the chassis and get back to you. friend The Smoker King wrote: Hello I have a Zenith TV. Model ZB2771h.

Zenith Vertical Deflection Problems
Usually caused by electrolytic capacitors in the scan amplifiers, and power
supply that are failing over time. As they age, they can become thermo sensitive. With proper troubleshooting and with the proper experience, the set can be serviced. -- JANA _____ "The Smoker King" wrote in message ... Hello I have a Zenith TV. Model ZB2771h.

Zenith Vertical Deflection Problems
The ZB series was the special Bose sound model, service info on them is
nearly non existant. Have you replaced both the 33uf and 47uf caps that sit next to IC2100? These fix the problem most the time. Other possibilitys include a bad or corrupted eprom IC or IC2100. This is the Zenith digital chassis I believe. If so, it was about the first design that used the bus controlled adjustments for height ect, instead of the old pots. If this set uses a TDA8175 (221-384) for IC2100 be aware it is no longer available if bad. |

I have done that also. A buddy of mine tested the vertical signal coming into the board with an O-scope, and he said the signal is bad before the board. |

The Smoker King:
Did your "buddy" with the O-scope then conclude that the jungle chip is bad..... or another related failure.... or did he not conclude anything about the real problem??? -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "The Smoker King" wrote in message ...

He did not conclude anything because he doesn't have the schematic and he never messed with the processor before.
