Toshiba RPTV help needed
Hey everyone,
I've two 50" Toshiba RPTVs for arcade games (Sega Megalo 2) with some issues. I've never repaired RPTVs before, although have done plenty of arcade monitor repair. I'd basically need some info on these beasts before I accidentally try fixing something that isn't broken. Does anyone have schematics for these? The model numbers a P502SG and P500GKB The problems I am having with them: -Convergence... far off... probably convergence ics need changing, though those are the least of my worries as I can get them locally. I don't have a remote for them yet so can't even try to adjust it, and it might only be because the convergence rings on the crt necks are loose as heck. -Geometry errors! I am getting asymmetrical geometry errors that are different for each colour. Green seems okay, Red image is pulled upwards in the right upper corner, and blue is the same way in the upper left corner. Is this something that can be adjusted in the service menu, or are there only symmetrical adjustment options ? (Meaning that the red image is only distorted in the upper right hand corner, and all other corners seem to be fine, thus I'm not sure it could be fixed by adjusting linearity as lin adjustments do symmetrical changes.) The geometry errors are my main concern as I've no idea what would cause asymmetrical image distortion, never seen such happen in regular CRTs. Capacitor faults are what cause most of the problems there but they usually cause distortion on both ends of the picture be it vertical or horizontal problems. On the same note does anyone have any info on rptv CRT interchangeability ? I'm specifically wondering if the crt tubes themselves can be changed between different makes and models like regular CRT monitors? (Meaning if the tube has the same number of pins and the same yoke resistances/inductivity) Thanks for any and all help guys! |
