a capacitor that looks like a resistor
I'm new at electronics,but on my mitsubishi 35" tv I found a 560 cap
that looks like a resistor with colored bands on it.Also I found another 560 cap on a different circuit and that I can see is a cap.My schematic says their both 560 caps why would one be different then the other? |

Just because the cct diagram says a part has a particular value, it doesn't
mean that in production values don't get changed. There are many production changes in the circuit from the diagram being drawn to finally hitting the shop shelves and its just that all the changes weren't applied back to the drawings "John" wrote in message om...

I don't really understand your question. What kind of problem are you trying to fix and what makes you suspect these caps? That type of cap is very reliable; I've never seen on fail. Andy Cuffe My question was what type of cap was that?I have a horizontal line in the middle of the tv.I was told to replace the vert output IC la7838 and all the caps that start with 4 because the vert output IC starts with a 4,ic401.Now if you can tell me exactly which caps to replace then that would help alot. |

TV servicing is not something you can really learn at home. It takes a
descent formal education in basic electronics, and servicing to even have an idea about how to get started. I would suggest you give the set out to an authorized service centre to have it properly serviced. I doubt very much you will have much success with this repair, unless you are very lucky and guess at the proper parts to change. The idea is to take measurements and determine by doing tests of the various components, to determine the parts that have failed, and then replace them. It is also important to find the cause of the failure, in order to insure that there will not be another failure of the same parts, shortly after the set is switched on again. -- Jerry G. ========================== "John" wrote in message om...

And your problem may not be any of those. Could be as simple as a cracked solder joint, possibly to the flyback which probably provides power to the vertical deflection. Sorry if this is all obvious and has been checked out already. It's easy for people to advise replacing everything - it's not their time and money! --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Mirror: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Note: These links are hopefully temporary until we can sort out the excessive traffic on Repairfaq.org.

That's not true, I never had any formal electronics education and I'm quite proficient at diagnosing and repairing TV's and most other electronics. All it takes is interest, motivation, willingness to read up on it and learn by asking intelligent questions, and plenty of time practicing. There's no shortage of not really worth repairing stuff to practice on. |

Although I had some EE courses in college, they didn't help much with the diagnostic troubleshooting aspect. Plain old experience and having good resources (like this group and the internet) realy help. -Chris |
