Hi all,

I'm having problems with this set in that when I turn it on, all I get is the "on/off" LED continually blinking. There's no video nor audio coming from the set. I've also tried replacing the fuses to no avail. I'm thinking it could be a power supply failure?

Any ideas as to what may be the culprit?

Thanks!

Going by your description, the flyback is probably defective. Along with it,
it is good practice to change the horizontal output transistor, locate the
cause of the failure which is usually high ESR caps in the area, or may be
some other faulty components, and then check the power supply for damage.

I would suggest you give the set out to a service center that is familiar
with your model of set, to have it properly serviced. This type of repair is
not something you will be able to do at home, unless you are properly
trained, and skilled in TV service.

What makes you think it is a flyback? Based on the limited info we don't
even know if the fuses are blowing or not. Could just be the typical bad
solder connections on these sets.

From past experience on these sets, this symptom is usually attributed to a
failed flyback, and sometimes other support components. Naturally the things
should be properly checked out. I used the word, "probably" in my
suggestion, not the word, "definitely".

I have replaced the fuses to no avail. I think I'll take Jerry's suggestion
and take it to the shop.

Thanks for the input

Are the fuses blowing? Which fuses?

I just find it curious. I have repaired quite a few of these sets and found
lots of bad solder joints and bad convergence outputs, but never had to
replace a flyback in one of these.

Tv has gone into protect mode. There are approximately 16 different
protect circuits in that set monitoring several different areas. If a
problem is detected in any of those areas, you get a red blinking
light. Time for some real troubleshooting.

7A, 3.15A, and 5A fuses have been replaced

I hope that's the case...What would be a ROM cost to pay to repair the unit?

hmmmmm

I hope this doesn't mean big bucks!

Depends on your definition of 'big bucks'.

Given the model number, in order of common failures:
1. Convergence output. Causes protect shutdown. Less than $200 total
typical.
2. 200LVP line protect, a little 180K 1/8w resistor opens up. Less than
$200 total typical.
3. Shorted yoke and possibly cracked neck on picture tube due to yoke,
expensive indeed. $300 in parts alone. Plus the labor, around $150.

These do not include any trip/gas charge if you have the tech come to
the door.

Thanks.....I guess I have to bite the bullet....beats paying a new set!
