TOUGH dog solved: D52W135DYX1 pic blanking with audio playing (ATC221)
Unit came in with intermittently blanking out picture audio still on.
Almost looks like scan loss trip and no error codes tripped as well. Background: this is most complicated ATC221 design, have many shut down circuit interconnected. Scan loss trip is bunch of low signal transistors with number of transistors monitoring the H & V scan signals that hooks into all CRT ICs and another set of circuits also monitors the voltage outputs for the convergence power supply output for proper startup & cut off if not within specs this cut the off/on switch to power supply. This is diffcult one to troubleshoot but I DID. WHEW! Checked the shutdown circuits, H & V scans, main power supply & some voltages, all GOOD. Till I plugged in heat gun on same outlet and set video cuts out on surge of power at instant of heatgun plugging in with audio playing. Mmm? Variac comes out and adjusted AC slightly higher, set stablizes. More interesting! Slowly narrowed down to convergence power supply but where? Looked at optisolator and found what is not right. Solid -24V and drops slightly if I turn AC down bit never around -18V as schematic specifies. And unit get more unstable on lower AC. And find the convergence supply stopped running. On a clue, yanked the DC power to the convergence plug while unit is playing, video cuts out with audio still playing. Now that's the *hint*. OK! pull convergence board for 5th time, Went over the power supply fine tooth comb style and BINGO found RP44 slightly higher. Perfect 8K ohms instead of 5.6K ohms. This connects to the optisolator to the TP24. That bugger now FIXED! RCA stuff is having number of resistors issues still but what a bugger to search for. :/ I had ITC222 with x-ray resistor divider values going high and cause false positives. That two is 1/8W tiny through hole resistor under the vertical heatsink. Precision value 1% type btw. It was helped when I found a tip on RCA online. Cheers, Wizard |
