There is a component in the power supply, or one of the scan
amplifiers, or the HV section that has become thermo sensitive. After it is warmed up over a period of time, there is a fault condition, and the protection circuit is shutting the power supply, or the HV supply. It is also possible that the fault can be in the protection circuit itself. You can use some freeze spray and a heat gun to troubleshoot for this. You can start by heating and cooling the suspect components. It would be best to at least troubleshoot the suspect areas to determine which area is at fault to begin with. This type of servicing takes discent experience, and knowledge of troubleshooting monitors and TV sets. I would suggest to give the monitor out ot someone who is experienced at this type of work. There are also many safety issues in servicing these sets. Jerry G. ======== "Nielsen" wrote in message ...
