If I read that bulletin, then I forgot about it. I also don't recall ever getting complaints about that problem. After replacing the 74AC540s on the YSUS board, a 2nd buffer board replacement didn't pop it's top 47R resistor - although I'm only running the device long enough to scope a few waveforms and take a few screen shots - so I don't know for sure whether the resisisor or a similar part will fail again, given the opportunity. The buffer output voltage still does not follow the YSUS output below about -50V. http://ve3ute.ca/query/42PC3D_2nd_buffer_board_211112-005.jpg http://ve3ute.ca/query/42PC3D_2nd_buffer_board_211112-010.jpg I now get a lit panel with greenish horizontal streaks and a red-yellowish vertical section that hops back and forth across the display. This was what I was looking at for very short time periods, previously, before the buffer board resistor failure blanked out the bottom sections. http://ve3ute.ca/query/42PC3D_2nd_buffer_board_211112P0009.JPG Do I need a white screen (or any) input signal to go further? Most TV's have a built-in "no signal source detected' display pattern . . . RL |

The TV's control board most likely has a built in pattern generator that will help isolate a no image complaint to either the main or control board assuming the rest of the boards are working. It's been a long time since I repaired those tanks so my memory isn't great on them - but if the control board has a separate harness that plugs into the power supply, the procedure was to remove the connector from the control to the main and jump two pins on the control board. That would put it in a pattern mode. I'm pretty sure I tossed all the training manuals for those but I'll check next week when I get back to the shop. |

I don't see many screen pattern disgnostic images that resemble what I'm looking at. Most shots that show full-screen random or shifting patterns refer to connector errors or to (agh!) scrambled control boards. The 74AC541 parts on the control connector input end of YSUS weren't replaced - only because they were hidden when the parts order went in - and they have a different body size than the rare 74AC540S part at the other end of the board. Talk about board revisions between models, this one is obviously a mid-revision of itself . . . . . RL |
