Toshiba TV Problems: CF30D50
Hi there, I have a Toshiba TV model number CF30D50 (January 1995) that works fine for the most part except for an annoying problem. On startup (and after 30 min. or an hour of being on) the screen goes dim (90% darker than normal) and the only way I've found to get it back to normal is to hit the right side of the casing really hard. Not the top or the left, but the right side as you look at the screen. I've done a search on Google and Google Groups to no avail. I've found people discuss problems with this TV, but nothing similar to my problem. Can anyone suggest what may be causing this? While not in the repair business, I'm quite comfortable with electronics. TVs may be out of my league, though. Any help/idea/pointers would be appreciated. |

Cold solder connections. Most likely in the heater circuit for the CRT, or
the bias section for the CRT drives, and etc... -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Keith" wrote in message ...

Also check the filter caps on the G2 line, if the filter is getting flakey
is can cause the symptoms. "Jerry G." wrote in message ... Cold solder connections.

Start by resoldering the pins on the connector plugs of the CRT board and
the CRT plug pins as well. Then follow those cables from the CRT board to the main board and resolder the plugs on the main board as well. Resolder the flyback transformer pins and any hot/high temp areas. By using a decent magnifying loop , you can check your work and see potential problems -- ========================== Jeff Stielau Shoreline Electronics Repair 344 East Main Street Clinton,CT 06413 860-399-1861 860-664-3535 (fax) ======================== "If you push something hard enough it will fall over."
