Hi.
I am attempting to repair for personal satisfaction an old portable 1979-80 TV. The problem I have is no picture, no sound and a pulsating power noise. Any suggestions? Thanks |

What's a "pulsating power noise"?

Yes does sound as though it is trying to restart.
Any idea's? |

Horizontal scan transformer maybe shorted turns or insulation breakdown? Horizontal scan flyback tuning capacitor S/C The tuning caps often crack or split when they fail, and you should have done a thorough visual inspection by now anyway! Try disconnecting the collector of the scan transistor - first test it for S/C then try powering up with it disconnected. Note that the PSU may not take to being run with no load so try connecting a 40W or 60W bulb from the feed to the collector to chassis (GND) See if the PSU fires up and lights the bulb and it wasn't a S/C transistor, this points to either shorted turns in the transformer or a load on one of the scan derived supplies S/C - such as audio or vertical sections. If the PSU still won't fire up its likely the scan transformer primary winding is shorted to GND or the PSU itself is faulty! |
