Hello there,

I'm trying to diagnose a startup (I think) problem on my 6 year old Daewoo
2898ST CRT, with the aim of repairing it myself (as I can't afford to
replace or have it repaired at the moment). I used to tinker with
electronics a long time ago and I'm aware of the dangers and precautions
needed when working inside TVs and monitors.

Service manual here;

The set was working fine then made 2 popping sounds and went off, It didn't
blow any fuses when it went off. It now makes a constant ticking noise from
the psu area.

If it was a HOT failure would you expect it to have taken out a fuse?
I get no voltage across the collector / emitter of the HOT, do I have to
remove the HOT to check it for shorts or can I do it in situ and what should
I be looking for?

Or is this a power supply problem and how / what should I start to test?
I'm currently reading this smps troubleshooting guide;
http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/smpsfaq.htm#smpsmcp
but I'd appreciate any and all help in pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you,

Ian
