GE TV model 27GT616, Ch. CTC 185AB3 intermittent
The customer said that the set was dead. When I tried it the first
time it came right on. So I checked it for cold solder and although I saw nothing obvious, I soldered anything that looked remotely suspicious. I then ran the set for 10 hours over night and it stayed on and looked fine. The following morning I powered down for a while and tried it several times during the day and it came on fine each time until finally it would not. I have not reopened it yet but there is no click or anything when power is pressed. During resoldering I did remove the tuner shield and hit a couple of connections but none really seemed bad. This chassis has a different tuner shield assembly than the infamous older ones anyway. Does anyone know if there is any history of these power symptoms associated with this chassis? Thanks, Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics. |
I don't know if it's common or not, but I had one once with an intermittent
diode CR4106 near the regulator that would cause the regulated 130v supply to drop to around 80v which is too low to start. Also had an open CR4109 causing loss of the 5 and 12v supplys. Otherwise just the regular solder around the flyback and driver transformer. Also if CR4704 off pin 8 of the flyback opens up, the 130v regulated B+ will be too high, but this causes immediate shut down, which isn't exactly your case. Good luck. |
