QUESTION NO. P927-2: Dell d1025he monitor FCC iey447s. I replaced the hot as it was shorted. Now on turn on, there are power supply voltages but nothing on the collector of the hot. I am getting the correct pulses on the base of it but still no H.T. See if R411 has gone open-circuit. If so, before powering up, also check D404 and T404.

QUESTION NO. P1023-2; Dell D2026T-HS monitor is very dark (only can shows the OSD). We found a low G2 voltage, the G2 control your Dell's FCC Is there a protectionitcontrol circuit that shuts it down? probable cause is a defective IC, Assuming that transistor is ok. number shows that is a Sony GDM20E03 chassis, the CXA1907S, on the CRT board, Sony part# 8-752-071-56. If the output voltage from pin 22 of the CXA1907S is too low, going to IC407, this will cause low G2 voltage. To remove the old IC without lifting PC traces, it is best to cut off each pin,

QUESTION NO. P1015-2: Philips 4CM4770 monitor intermittently out of sync. In the deflection circuit found TDA4850 (and TDA4861), TDA2595, HEF4528BP and a 74HCT86N. Hor. or Vert sync? If hor, check components around the Hor Osc of TDA4850 and check components around Vert Osc if Vert sync problem. If there is a pot for adjusting the Hor hold, then adjusting that might help since it might not be optimum.

QUESTION NO. P1016-4: Mag DX1795 monitor. The HOT was blown and the replacement blew instantly. Flyback rings good, T501 and FET Q506 good, A casual check of nearby semiconductors revealed nothing, no visual clues. Although the flyback rings OK. the capacitor inside might be shorted. There is a 3nF capacitor in the flyback. Firstly with a multimeter connectng one end of the probe to the anode cap and another to the ground/feedback pin of the flyback. If you do not know which is the pin then try all. It should all be open. If low resistance, then you have a bad cap. Refurbish the

QUESTION NO. P1019-3: Acer 1555 monitor came in with an S/C line output transistor, type BU2508DX. I fitted a BU2508DF as the nearest equivalent. It now has a small picture, width about 50% of normal is the best it can do , but perfect geometry which is adjustable. The B+ PWM is only delivering 60v to the Line Stage (should be around 90-100v). Ring the yoke or swap a tube/yoke assembly to confirm that it is not the yoke problem. Narrow horizontal width can be caused by shorted yoke. Since all the geometry control works fine, I cannot think of anything else to do except the above.

QUESTION NO. P1019-9: Dell 828Fi monitor. During bootup sequence, it seems to loose horizontal sync and controls have no effect. common failure in this chassis, and it progressively faulty, but I wouldsuch confirmation.linearity, loss of sync, TDA9109 is a I suspect TDA9109 might becoming can give a variety of symptoms, like as jitter, bad loss of user settings, etc. Try some freeze mist on the IC, sometimes that helps diagnose it. If this IC is replaced, be sure to use the exact same version of TDA9109, as was originally installed; TDA9109 and TDA9109/S are different chips.

QUESTION NO. P926-3: Daewoo 710B Monitor with R939 burning up. I need the value and why it has gone o/c. R939 = 100K ohms. When R939 burns (and/or R935, R940, R947), a faulty flyback transformer is the usual cause, and needs replacing.

QUESTION NO. P1017-2: Sony gdm20e01 (Radius 0461) FCC ak8gdm20e01 monitor. I need the value of R868. The value of R868 varies, in different versions of the Sony GDM20E01. If R851 = 2.2K, then R868 is also 2.2K ohm. Some chassis have R851 = 5.6K, and there R868 = 1K.

Depending on the A3LCMG737 board version, it can be either a small-value (1.8, 3.3, Check appears OK except no 12VDC at one point on board. etc, ohm) fusible resistor, or a 1 Amp microfuse, on the 195V supply. If it is bad, also check if HOT Q502 has shorted, as well.

QUESTION NO. P828-10: Dell D2026T-HS Ultrascan 20TX Sony vertical is very unstable, poor pincushion. The front controls will not adjust the vertical width or position. I am suspecting the circuit around ic 502. I replaced the vert ic TDA 8172, and all electrolytic caps around it with no effect. I am more suspicious of the IC007 (Sony part# 8-752-076-34), on the D board, than of IC502, for this type of problem; it's a known failure component.

QUESTION NO. P828-9: Sony CPD-420GS monitor missing Q901 and Q902. Need part #'s for these and any common failures. In three similar Sony models (GDM-400PS, GDM-500PS, CPD-520GS), the Q901 = 2SC1623 and Q902 = 2SA1037K, so probably they are the same types in the CPD-420GS, as well.

Unit powered up for abouthardware onthen tab of that started toitshake seem likely that the shorting again D406 was Unless you forgot to use insulation 2 minutes, the the image BY359, does and went dead again. Once of the FMGG26 has damaged additional components. First check if Q407 has now also shorted. If that is OK, see if any components along the B+ circuit for Q407 were damaged by the overload from the shorted FMGG26. Start with boost FET Q412 and ultrafast

QUESTION NO. P918-6: Gateway monitor EV900 made by Mag is dead, no high voltage. Power supply seems ok but no b+ to collector of horizontal out transistor. There is 200v on drain of Q107 which supplies the b+. There is no out put from IC101 NE555 which supplies gate signal to turn Q107 on. The common cause of no HV, when the power LED is lit, is bad solder on all the leads of L501, near the flyback. Resolder all the leads, regardless of appearance.

QUESTION NO. P919-7: Dell D1025TM monitor (Sony chassis) with bad HOT, damper diode, and fet w/protect zener. I can locate the original HOT, and fet w/protect zener but cannot find the damper diode. The only numbers on the diode are DLA 8-J. Sonyadoes notof rectifiers with the marking "DLA" and a date-code. Although it is not the damper, I suspect you Toshiba makes family support this monitor and Dell has been unresponsive. are referring to D516, a Toshiba 3DL41A, a 3 Amp, 200 Volt, superfast rectifier. The original is Sony part# 8-719-051-97; similar rectifiers include NTE/ECG 588 or Rectron's SF34.

QUESTION NO. P912-8: Samtron 55v monitor has no display and no 12V to ic401. Transistor A1281 (Q608) and cap104 (c110) short . I replaced A733, causing C428 (50v 10uf ) to blow and transistors Q403 and Q404 leak and short and a sound coming out. It does not start. When I open ic tda9302 Vcc pin6 the monitor starts butratedone50V, and no sound. First, Korean transistors are not "2SA" (Japanese) types. Your "A1281" is KTA1281, has at line 2 Amps, 1 Watt. A 2SA733 is only rated for 0.1 Amp and 0.25 Watt; a 2SA1382 will be a better choice. But your replacing Q608 with A733 is probably not the sole cause of your problems. It sounds like your TDA9302 IC is shorted, as well as those other

QUESTION NO. P912-4: STX CM-451S monitor. Switch mode supply has failed. Going through startup / shut down sequence. Suspect 2SK2141, cannot find info on, or replacement equivalent.

Possible substitutes are IRFIB6N60A, 2SK1118, 2SK1507, IRFBC40A with insulator, & NTE 2379 with insulator. If the FET is not shorted, try checking for an overload off secondary diodes D106 through D110.

QUESTION NO. P911-7: Mag DX1595 monitor FCC Iawdx15fg . The Horizontal/Vertical IC TDA9103 has to be replaced because of arcing damage. In a number of previous answers reference is made to the STV7778S (I have a PDFfor this) . Is thisfindpin and function compatible to TDA9103(PDF now removedboard, and check whether pins 6 through 9 of the To IC out if a STV7778 can substitute for TDA9103, look at your by ST Microelectronics)? TDA9103 are being used. If not, then you can use STV7778 to replace TDA9103. The difference between STV7778 and TDA9103, is that pins 6-9 are no-connection in STV7778, but in TDA9103, these pins MIGHT be used for switching in

QUESTION NO. P97-5: Mag 1795 monitor. No HV, all voltages from power supply are OK(+42V exists), HV transistor OK. Check if the 12V supply to pin 18 of IC701 (TDA9103) is low; this IC often shorts, causing loss of HV, and must be replaced.

QUESTION NO. P821-8: Gateway EV-700 monitor, no contrast, bright and contrast at max , picture very dim. Check for dried up caps in the filament supply. Also check the following: 1. Filament voltage. Is it around 5 to 6.3V DC? Measure at CRT board. 2. By turning up the screen pot on the flyback transformer, image improve? 3. Probe the voltage at G1. Change the brightness control G1 change as well? If answer to (1,2,3) is (no,yes,yes) - Repair the filament voltage circuit. (yes,yes,no) - Repair the brightness circuit. It has gone too negative. Can you hear the static crackle when monitor is first turned on? If yes HV most probably sufficient. Check B+ is sufficient and measure anode with HV probe if you have one and adjust if necessary since screen voltage is

It It sounds with 25 Acer may be similar to the Acer FCC# JVP7134e chassis. There are many possible causes for repeatedly blowing HOT's, but one common cause, in that chassis, is a bad disk cap (C335 = 220pF/2KV) on the AFC line to IC201. If R214 = 15K is also bad, then IC201 itself may be damaged as well. The horiz. drive cap C319 might be bad. Bad solder

It is positioned under the CRT and also any other chips that may be problems in this area. I assume this 1512SL is the chassis made by Lite-On (FCC# H4ICM15006), not one of the other P-B 1512SL chassis (made by Goldstar, etc.). If so, the number of this Zilog is Z0861404PSC-1570 (be sure it is version# 1570). Often, however, that Zilog, if thermal, can be made to function by attaching a (grounded) heatsink to it. The other high-failure chips in that area are I702 (MTV003N) and I703 (Eeprom, Atmel 93C56). The Eeprom is the more common failure, and must be obtained

QUESTION NO. P322-4: Techtronic monitor (made by Panasonic/Matsushita) pn 119-5113-00, chassis 21HV4S shuts down after a couple of hours. After shutdown it will not turn back on until it sits at least a half hour, then it will only stay on a minute or two. I was able to wake it up by plugging and unplugging the power cord a few times, but in the process of troubleshooting this way the Horizontal output transistor shorted. I replaced the transistor and the HV diode across the transistor and the original problem was back. I removed the output transistor in an attempt to test for signal on the base drive but the monitor instantly shuts down with the transistor removed. In circuit testing with DVM found no other obvious problems. I'm guessing it's the flyback (pn ETF42L28AZ) and I am in process of trying to locate one. I do not know how to Well, there are some caps known to cause shutdowns in the HV4 chassis. The worst offender is C839, but also C867, which tend to leak fluid out their bottoms onto the board underneath, corroding traces, and conducting high voltages to vulnerable components. Check underneath the caps, clean up all fluid and corrosion, repair any damaged traces and replace any damaged components. C709 & C886 are also known to cause shutdowns if bad, though they may not have leaked to do this. Also, the main board is flimsy, and can get cracks easily. It doesn't take very rough handling to get these, so any cracks may

However, I can see in the dark a Sony GDM20E03 chassis,up toit100% already. same faults as that The FCC# for this IBM model indicates that it is the display for brightness is and suffers from the chassis (listed elsewhere on this page). The common problem is IC420 = CXA1907S (Sony p/n# 8-752-071-56). This IC controls both G2 and RGB video. If pin#22 of IC420 is too low, G2 voltage will be too low. If the fault is low or no filament voltage, check C677 and C683.

Possible subs for 2SC5515 is that could be 2SC4891, 2SC5045, and 2SC5411. (Relative to other manufacturers, Panasonic tends to define their maximum currents more generously, given that they test Vce[sat] and DC gain well below that maximum.)

QUESTION NO. P39-4: Princeton monitor FCC Kdsevokd-1730. Changed flyback and Q411 (with originals from Kds), R901, 902, 904. The monitor came on for a few seconds, then the flyback began to squeal and blew Q411 again. The voltages from the power supply are correct. Since R904 was one of the burnt resistors, IC401 (TDA9103 or STV7778) may also have been damaged by the fault, so check that IC. Also, it is not unheard of, for KDS to provide a replacement flyback for EVOKD-1730, that is defective right out of the box! Other items to check might include Q405, Q407, Q408, Q415, Q416; C437, C438, C447; and IC402. The Princetons also can get bad solder on W404 (also on the FBT, but probably not an issue anymore), and bad yoke connector

QUESTION NO. P37-9: Sun gdm-20e20 (oem by Sony) monitor, I can only see osd picture, but it is very dim (bright and contrast to max). Is your G2 voltage too low, or is G1 too negative, or is the filament voltage too low? If the problem is low G2 (or G1), the usual problem is a defective IC420 = CXA1907S (Sony p/n# 8-752-071-56), on the CRT board. If the output on pin# 22 is too low (well below 3.4V), this will cause low G2. Be careful to avoid damaging the board, when removing this IC; it is safest to clip all the pins and desolder them individually. If the problem is not the IC420, then check IC407, and then Q403, Q414, and Q417. If the problem is low filament voltage, go to the G board and check/replace C677 & C683, and also check

QUESTION NO. P37-3: Viewsonic P815-1M monitor comes on but there is no high voltage, the output transistor for the high voltage transformer runs warm. The flyback tested good with the tester. Check Q861 (11N008) on high voltage board. If it is open, replace it and replace the FBT (TLFA00965). The problem you will encounter is that to adj the focus, you need a special software (provided only to authorized service centers) to do this.

QUESTION NO. P36-1: Sony GDM-20E01T monitor goes into (fault) shutdown within seconds after switching on. The green power LED lights as usual, and then the green and orange LED (standby) slash in sync. The right control panel LED (CENT) is then lit constantly. The HV is there, and the vertical oscillator is working, too (for about a second). Smoke has been reported to come out of the front of the monitor when the fault occurred, but I cannot find traces of it on the board. Even though it should be ratherthe other because the oscillators do work, I measured the HOT and the usual suspects, The CENT LED on solid, with obvious two flashing, indicates a scan circuitry failure (usually horizontal, but sometimes vertical). One cause can be bad caps in the power supply, like C610, C611, C612, C615, C616, C617, C619, C625. Also, check Q511, Q512, D504, PS500 & PS501 on the main board. Bad solder, in either the horizontal or vertical circuits, can also cause this fault code.

QUESTION NO. P25-8: Apple 1710 monitor seems that something is missing on this monitor. Two pins, HP8 and HP9, are on the main board. There is nothing connected to them although I believe there should. I think that I could get the set going by placing a bridge over them but...What is the value of resistance RL115 also on the main board? First, be sure the unit is provided separate H & V sync signals (not composite sync), or a good signal from a PowerMac, or it will not power up. HP8 & HP9 are not meant to be bridged during normal usage. However, you can try bridging HP8 & HP9 for testing IF the unit has no power LED or other sign of life (degauss, etc). You'd get degauss, etc, but not video, because it's bypassing the CPU. If this bridging works, either the solid-state relay is bad, or the CPU did not give it a turn-on signal.

EMC is now recommending a chassis modification, to reduce the value of C635 to 10 uF/250V (from 22 uF). Apparently, the original value of C635 was excessive, and overstressed the circuit, causing the failure of the rectifier, cap, and FET. Also, D632 is now recommended to be outright replaced, regardless of how it checks, when C635 has failed; the rectifier can be damaged, yet still test fine on a DMM.

QUESTION NO. P112-8: NEC multisync 70 monitor will intermittently not turn on from cold start. The led is amber and there is a constant clicking.

I just fixed one of these - it sure felt like X-ray protect but is apparently a power supply issue. Adjust the SMPS output setting, you will probably find that it has drifted out of spec (there is a pot for the adjustment).

QUESTION NO. P126-10: Magitronic C-SV1700PS monitor, the HOT shorted, also diode D407 (to-220/ 2 lead). I replaced HOT with an ECG 2365 and the diode with a NTE 598 ( I am not sure if these are the correct replacement, since I cannot read the numbers and letters on the original parts). The unit's switching power supply looks to work ok. When turned on, thereDD54RC, a damper diode made by Sanyo, rated 1500 D407 shorted. Also, what is D407 for? case. B&D D407 is was a "rattling" sound then stopped, HOT is fine but Volts, 5 Amps, Trr <1.5 usec, TO220FI Enterprises (www.bdent.com) or LJ (www.ljent.com) may have this one, or an alternative, such as Sanken's FMP-G2FS, and Toshiba's 5THZ47 or 5TUZ47, to name a few. Since NTE 598 is only rated 600 Volts, that is probably why it shorted. The ECG 2365 is not too bad a match for the OEM HOT, but you might also check if all these components shorting, has damaged

QUESTION NO. P122-3: Impression Vienna 17 DX1795E monitor, FCC IAWDX17FG. The brightness was too high with retrace lines visible. I checked the HV and made a few adjustments, the brightness came down, the retrace lines disappeared, but the picture was green and fuzzy. Adjusting the focus improved it somewhat, but before I could check anything else the HOT blew. Does this Mag made unit need the upgrade parts changed, as listed for the regular Mag 1795? (All the part Your DX1795e and the Mag DX1795 are both FCC# IAWDX17FG, and should have equivalent components. I think you may be confusing components in the Mag DX17F chassis, which has different circuit components (including the FBT), and also has a host of components that need checking/replacing when it goes down, with those for your DX17FG chassis. Before replacing the flyback, you first might check that the problem is not an internal leakpath within the CRT; for example, a focus-

QUESTION NO. P119-10: Sony CPD-300SFT monitor, the power to C4833 and R638 burn. Found the power part number VDR687 may be bad. It looks like a capacitor (10V431K and TNR printed on it) but it is not a capacitor. What is it? TNR-10V431K is a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV), from UCC or Marcon. It is rated for 275 VAC(rms) continuous, 350 VDC; and surge of 3500/2500 Amps. It should read open-circuit (good or bad) at low voltages, and can only be reliably tested with a current-limited high voltage (1 mA, at 430 Volts +/-10%V). The Panasonic MOV, ERZ-V10D431, is an equivalent, listed by Digikey (www.digikey.com), cat# P7257-ND. Also similar, are MOV's from Mouser

QUESTION NO. P117-9: Princeton KD-1511 monitor FCC EVOKD-1511. D806, D816 burned (marked 31DF 6 8L). Could not cross, guessed and replaced w/ generic 3amp/1000PIV rectifiers. HOT shorted. Replaced HOT. When plugged in, power led flashes, D806, 816 get very hot (desolder themselves). If your "generic" diode substitutes were not ultrafast types, using them to replace ultrafasts like 31FD6 can result in their dissipating excess heat, or even a failure to rectify at all. The 31DF6 rectifiers are ultrafast rectifiers from Nihon Inter, rated 600 Volt, 3 Amp, Trr < 50 nanoseconds. Possible substitutes include Sanken's RL4A, Mospec's SF38, Shindengen's S3L60, Motorola/ON Semi's MUR460, ST Micro's MDV04-600, and Philips' BYV28-600. You can try B&D Enterprises

QUESTION NO. P117-3: Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 17 TX monitor only has green signal, even on On Screen Display. Using the correct cable. Customer a badthat originally, only AN93B04SCR,was bad and red has gone only recently.video The common cause of color loss is says SMD IC, IC201 = the blue signal a 28-pin flatpack IC on the back of the board, p/n# CP263P05701. However, due to the expense, check first for loss of color signals occurring at that IC. If IC201 is not the problem, loss of colors can also be caused by bad solder joints along the video path, and sometimes by a failure of IC203 = LH2426S, the video amp, on a heat sink.

QUESTION NO. P112-7: Sony CPD-100GS monitor. Shorted D516 and Q520 IRFI9620G, after replacing with new parts, monitor would turn on with signal cable disconnected, OSD came on but the same parts would short immediately when signal cable is connected to computer. You might check Q507 & D506 for excess leakiness/short, and see if the solder on the leads is cracked. Also, if the D516 (typ. a Toshiba 3DL41A) was poorly subbed, both D516 & Q520 would blow again. NTE/ECG 588 can be an acceptable sub for 3DL41A, if the original rectifier is not obtainable.

QUESTION NO. P111-5: PC Direct /Smile CA6736SS monitor FCC GBVCA6736SS came in with a shorted red drive. I replaced that and it worked well for a couple of days. Then the chopper transistor in the Power supply blew. The fuse went as well. I replaced the main power supply FET with a 2SK2161. I am not sure of the original as it was blown apart. It seemed to read 2sk214? I also replaced the PWM chip UC3842 and of course the fuse. When powered up again the fuse and trany went. I tested all secondary diodes the HOT, pre driver, all caps and diodes in the powers supply primary, in fact everything in the primary even the main power transformer. All test OK. The unit does not use a PTC which can crack and A 200 Volt FET (like 2SK2161 is) seems a pretty low voltage rating, to use as a replacement for a chopper FET in the primary of a SMPS. If the original FET began with 2SK214x, and had a TO220F case (like 2SK2161), the best candidate for the original FET is probably 2SK2141, rated at 600 Volts and 6 Amps; B&D and MCM's catalogs list 2SK2141. Or you could try an NTE/ECG 2379 (or an IRFBC40) with insulation hardware. Some known failure components in this chassis

QUESTION NO. P18-6: HP D2818A monitor manufactured 1996. According to your answer some time ago, this monitor had a weak CRT made by Samsung. Can I swap the HP CRT (M41KUK36x01) with an Apple CRT (M41KKA16x)? I am dubious of such a substitution. That Samsung CRT is a shadow-mask type, while M41KKA16X is a Sony Trinitron (aperture-grille) type, and has three separate G1 pins, one for each cathode (R/G/B). I would lean towards using a Hitachi CRT/yoke assembly for a replacement. So long as the horizontal and vertical coils have similar inductances to the coils on the Samsung CRT, replacing the entire CRT/yoke assembly will make one's life much easier, in getting acceptable

Has this unit been worked on before? If it is a relatively clean unit, check the Connector and Wiring from the Vertical circuit to the Main Yoke. Sometimes at the factory they seat the connector poorly, or do bad crimp jobs. I believe the vertical IC is IC490, LA7838. You might check it for internal shorts, or for faulty power rails (pins 1, 8, 13); also check for bad solder, and check resistor R499 (1 ohm).

QUESTION NO. P1214-2: Apple M1823 monitor. In reference to questions NO.P817-4, NO.P628-3, and NO.P922-7, I have three M1823 units with identical problems: flashing LED's (power saving and center light on left side of monitor) and no video. The following refers to one of the three units I was able to locate and test all picofuses, R851, R868, D824, and D825. All tested ok. I removed Q512 and tested its hFE with a RMS DMM which shows its value to be 4.85. I am unsure as to the nominal specification of this (hopefully bipolar) transistor because the number printed on its case (C3997 4B4) does not come up in any searches I have done. I also removed Q511 (P-MOSFET # IRFI9630G), but have been unable to verify if it is good or bad as my RMS meter does not handle FET type transistors and I do not know what values to read on which pin during an in-circuit live test. Will a bias test (treating the transistor as if it were two diodes) work on FET's out of circuit? The capacitors C611 and C612 on the power supply physically look ok, but I am unable to read their high capacitance (3300 microFarad) values directly with my limited meter. You also mention checking electrolytic caps for bad First, in using those other answers, you must distinguish between the "central" LED of the five closely-grouped Adjustment Indicator LED's (that LED is actually for Pincushion/Geometry), and the Centering-Adjustment indicator LED (the rightmost of the five indicator LED's). Q512 is a 2SC3997, a Sanyo NPN transistor (pinout BCE), the case markings show only the base number. To test a Power MOSFET with a DMM, first check that there is very high-to-infinite resistance (out-of-circuit) between the gate lead, and either drain or source leads. Then short the gate to the source, and check that there is a good diode junction between drain and source (infinite in one direction, one diode-drop voltage in the reverse direction). This diode will be forward-biased from drain to source on a P-channel FET (like Q511, pinout GDS), and the reverse direction on an N-channel FET. As most FET's fail shorted, this usually is enough. Rarely, a FET fails as nonresponsive to its gate applying a voltage roughly 10VDC (9-volt battery is OK) between gate and source (Source more positive on a P-FET, more negative on an N-FET), will cause the drain-to-source resistance to drop from infinity, to a low value, on a good FET. Testing electrolytic caps for ESR with a DMM can only be done in a cumbersome manner, and only if the DMM has a frequency-response for VAC, that is accurate up to about 10 KHz or higher. If your meter does have that capability, you place a small (1 to 10 ohm) resistor in series with the cap leads, apply a 10 KHz sinewave signal across both, and use the

QUESTION NO. P1213-9: Sony GDM-20E03 monitor takes 15-30 minutes to get a picture on the crt. The high voltage is coming up as soon as the monitor is turned on. Also, there is no glow in the tube while there is not a image and the led is solid green. The input has been verified to be good. The most likely cause would be two marginal or leaky capacitors, C677 = 100uF/25V and C683 = 1000 uF/16V, on the power supply board ("G" board). While there, check for any cracks on the G board that may need jumpering, especially by the FBT, around the two support screws. If there is still a problem, try checking out IC603, and its solder.

QUESTION NO. P1212-1: Mag dx17f monitor. Green light on, no picture, no secondary voltage out of the power supply. Replaced c321, c301, zener diode off r305 mounted on the back of pc board. Voltage on ic 304 is pin 1-0.9volts, pin 2minus 0.17volts, pin 3-0, pin 4-minus 0.6volts, pin 6-minus 137volts. Q301 measures not shorted. Flyback transistor, q109 is ok.

Is IC304 is functioning, and doubling your 137V across the two big filter caps? If not, check resistors & caps around IC304, check IC304 itself, and diodes D301 through D304. If the voltage is doubled, is there voltage reaching the drain of Q301? If not, check for bad connections, or a bad primary winding, on the transformer. If there is good voltage to the drain of Q301, is R311 good, and is IC301 delivering good pulses to the gate of Q301? If good pulses are reaching Q301's gate, but it is not turning on, perhaps the FET is nonfunctional. If no gate pulses at all, is IC301 getting good start-up and running voltages to

QUESTION NO. P1127-7: CTX 1765CD monitor has only a white/color vertical line in the center of the screen. The hor. deflection should read 58V, but it is 0v. At T304 58v is also missing. Q314 looks ok, as well as D319. I think those should provide that voltage. Q319 measures 0 0 4 V, where I would expect 58, 180, 61V, on T302 and T304 the 58v are also missing. Besides the Q314, D319, and Q319, try checking D420 and R380.

QUESTION NO. P128-5: Gateway CPD15F13 monitor FCC AK8CPD15SF1 - 1994. The unit shuts down after a certain length of time. Is this because of the keyboard and mouse are not installed? Also the color of the screen is light blue when the brightness is turned up. No adjustments on the crt to set the gray scale. What you need is a video signal with good H and V sync inputs, to keep this chassis from entering power-save mode, not specifically keyboard/mouse. This chassis is notorious for bad solder and cracks in the main board. Check carefully for cracks, with magnification, and jumper any broken PC traces. Check for bad solder everywhere, but especially in the front center area of the board, and around IC502 & IC504, also the rivets on the heatsink around the flyback, on the horizontal drive transformer, and the HOT & other big transistors. Another cause of shutdown after several minutes is sometimes from

Also, the electrolytic caps are common to leak fluid, that corrodes PC traces and causes mischief. Any fluid must be cleaned off, and traces repaired. You might check if C852 has leaked, possibly shorting D602. If D602 shorted, check for other damaged components, like C601, R602, R919,

C307 affects the base drive for Q306, so if C307 is bad, it can cause Q306 to fail. Besides C307 and the three 450V capacitors you mentioned, also check C353, and always check the 2KV ceramic disk cap off the collector of Q306, these are common failures. When those three 450V caps go, you should also test the megohm resistors paralleled with them as well.

QUESTION NO. P915-9: I am trying to replace the CRT (broken neck) in a Mag DX1795 monitor. I have an Identical tube number from a dead DX17F that is slightly older. he yolks and adjacent field canceling coils are similar but not identical. The DX1795 yolk contains 3 adjustment pots whereas the DX17F yolk does not. The connectors are also not identical but could probably be rewired. Should I keep the yolk/tube combination intact and rewire or should I transfer the yolk to the My suggestion is to keep the yoke/tube combination intact. You may measure first the electrical resistance (the inductance could be great) of the H yoke and the V yoke. Usually, the H yokes are about same resistance (0.5 ohms) but you must be very careful because his reactance could be very different (it depends from frequency). About V yokes, if the resistance (usually 10 ohms) is approximately identical (+/- 20%), is ok. You just may readjust the vertical size, which is easy. If the resistance horizontal yokes have about the same inductances (probably near 135 transfer the yoke and remake the its own If the two of the V yokes is very different, you have no choice, you will need to uH), I'd keep the DX17F yoke on CRT. I agree that swapping yokes will be a convergence nightmare. You can change quite a few parameters in Factory Mode on a DX1795, and could go back later to swapping yokes, if the DX17F yoke won't work.

The low voltage to operate the smps is 6 v but should be at least This is a Sony 15SF1 chassis. These go into a shutdown mode when the circuitry detects faults, so there are numerous reasons why yours may have gone down. Most common are cracks in the board traces, and bad solder, particularly towards the board center, and around the big heatsink, and including the solder on heatsink rivets. Since the HOT was shorted, other components to check include FET Q503, C599 = 22 uF/100V, D504, Schottky D508. Also check if the N board is regulating

QUESTION NO. P88-7: Sony CPD-200sx monitor. Everything displayed in white is now pink. Other colors look ok. Can any chroma adjustments be made to resolve this problem? If an external adjustment (for R, G, B) is not available or you cannot obtain a proper color using it, you will find inside six adjustable resistors (usually on the neck board, just follow the signal cable which come from computer). Three of them (sometime only two) are in the near RGB video-amplifier system and they are for amplitude control (gain adjust) and the other three are for bias cathodes voltage. First, you must adjust bias voltage: put on your screen a black image (i.e. DOS background) and adjust brightness in order to see it a little. Now, from bias adjust resistors make background in gray color.

One cause of this can be a bad IC701 = TDA9103 or STV7778. Try replacing this IC, and be sure 12V regulator IC202 is providing correct output voltage. If IC701 is not the problem, try replacing the Eeprom, IC703.

QUESTION NO. P84-5: ViewSonic 17EA Model 1765EA monitor has a buzzing sound when I turn it on (I believe it is from the FBT) and the picture vertically shrinks and is not clear. Buzzing sound could be associated with cracks in the solder joints on the Flyback Transformer. Ring cracks are sometimes hard to find unless you look at them with a 10x magnifier. However since you hear a buzzing sound, you may find black arc marks in the solder joints around the leads of the flyback transformer or other components. Do not rule out the possibility that the sound may be coming from some other area. Best defense is to tear it down so the whole board is exposed and

QUESTION NO. P82-5: Intergraph TX2151W monitor Chassis 21HV4S FCC ACJ93312118, has no blue color displayed, red & green are ok. CRT & solder connections to CRT main socket board check ok. Video cord was subbed out with several good cords. First, check if the On-Screen Display has any blue showing. If blue is present there, then the color gain data for the blue in the Eeprom has probably been set to zero, and the Eeprom data is corrupted. See if a blue signal is present, going into IC1301 = M52326SP. If the blue signal is there at IC1301, and blue is also missing from the OSD, the usual failure is IC1302 = Panasonic RGB driver IC, VEY09P. Often, IC1302 shorts at one of its color inputs, making the previous IC (IC1301) appear to have a bad output. If VEY09P is needed, try LJ Enterprises (800-627-8755; www.ljent.com) or

QUESTION NO. P724-2: Sony 17in 200gs monitor. The picture tube takes 3-4 minutes to come up to full brightness. However, full brightness is about 1/3 of a new monitor. All other aspects, ie focus, work with no problems. Either the crt is worn out or its filament voltage is too low. The filament voltage should probably be 6,3 or 12,6 V. In modern monitors, the filament is usually fed with DC, hence no measurement problems. However, in some cases it is fed with an ac impulse voltage from an auxiliary winding on the FBT (or smps transformer). In this case, you need either a good dmm with true rms capability (i.e. the old Fluke 8060), or a digital oscilloscope which can perform rms calculation on the

I checked all other P-FET regulator (2SJ306 or 2SJ307) has also shorted or is leaky, so check for this. Often when Q550 shorts repeatedly, the transistors and diodes they are OK. Viewsonic's boards are also known for getting fine hairline cracks; these can affect the voltage regulation circuitry for the B+. If, after checking or replacing the regulator FET, it still applies excess voltage to the HOT, try checking the PC traces with high magnification, or checking the continuity of the PC traces with a meter, looking for hairline cracks.

QUESTION NO. P511-7: Acer-7276e 17" monitor. R328, R32? (this resistor is connected at J174/R328 to GND, part of label on PCB is damaged by fire) and C326 are burned beyond recognition. I do not have a chassis in front of me, but the common failure involves HOT Q302, FET Q301 = BSS89, R326 = 3.9K, R328 = 4.7K, R329 = 10K, R241 = 10K, C327 = 220 pF/3KV, and J013 = 3 Amp microfuse. So possibly your unknown resistor is R326 or R329. See if you can locate both those two resistors intact, or if one is your burnt one (missing).

So replacement flybacks can be obtained from these companies, if finding a source other than VTC is an issue.

QUESTION NO. P418-5: AOC 5En monitor starts up after replacing shorted Q403 (2sc5296) by BU2508DF but runs hot quickly and blew it after fifteen minutes. D408 (3legs) was ok. What semiconductor is this? B+ pin 2 of flyback is 125V without signal. I tried one more BU2508DF but after a couple of minutes monitor was dead. HOT survived. I checked D408 again, now two legs measured short. Transistor 2SC5296 crosses to NTE2324. A more suitable substitution would be BU2508AF not BU2508DF which has a built in damper diode. 2SC5296 is available from MCM for $2 or $3.

QUESTION NO. P58-4: Wyse WY-15E+ monitor FCC ID LXMWY-1575PES, shorted HOT. I replaced the HOT with an exact replacement (BU2520). The monitor powers up and appears to run normally in all modes with no picture distortion, but if left on over a period of time the HOT becomes excessively, well, hot, and the picture starts to collapse. Try checking/replacing caps in the base driver circuit, like C226 = 10 uF/100V.

QUESTION NO. P52-3: NEC jc2002vma monitor. Q560(hpa150) shorts repeatedly. Cannot find any other problems. There are a couple versions of this NEC, so these location numbers may not be exact. Replace the B+ regulator FET, probably a 2SK758 (location Q5P0 or Q5G6), on a heatsink at the front of the main board. Replace capacitor C541 = 100 uF, and check D561 & D562; an older board might have a single D560 installed in place of both D561 & D562.

Check FET Q317 (IRFI630 or similar) for leaky/shorted; also check D316 and D317. If the FET is bad, also check if coil L304 got cooked, and check if it still retains at least 0.5 mH of inductance (0.8 to 2 mH is nominal), or else your new FET may also die. Also check HOT Q310, disk cap C335 = 220 pF/2KV, and R214 = 15K ohm. A bad C335 can cause any of these components to die, so replace C335 if you have even the slightest suspicion; it can test good when it is not.

QUESTION NO. P419-8: Sony GDM-2039 monitor. How do I adjust other parameters such as pincushion? How do I store it so that when I go back to user mode the adjustments are still there? It seems to revert back to default settings. There should be a vertical-standing N board, by the flyback, for the relevant circuitry. There are several Sony N board versions, but you should either find the adjusts on that board itself, or you have to set switch SW1 to the Service position, then do the adjusts with the front panel buttons, turn off, and set SW1 back to the User position. The N boards are also a common site for faults that give geometry problems, usually from bad/leaking SMD caps, or bad IC's. For testing components on this board, check the caps and PC traces with power off, or try affecting the IC's using a heatgun. Beware of

I am trying to get a replacement 40 pins controller for it (LSC44072IP) but I had no luck with Nation Wide and others. Where can I get the controller and is it really the controller IC at the soure of this problem? Have you tried Viewsonic directly for your IC? Try (800) 888-8583, X6046.

QUESTION NO. P411-4: HP D2800A. The chassis of this monitor is similar to the Viewsonic 21PS IC (21HV4S). In regard to question P324-6 posted on your site is the missing color the green gun, and if so will replacing the VEY09P take care of the problem? This is an expensive IC ($60) so I want to be sure that is all that I need to replace. VEY09P is the common fault for missing colors in the 21PS chassis. If you need to reassure yourself, here are a couple of things to try. First, if you get an on-screen display that is OK, the problem is more likely in the settings in the Eeprom, etc, and probably not VEY09P. Second, the usual fault with VEY09P results in an apparent lack of INPUT into the affected color channel, often misleading techs into assuming a defective output from the earlier IC (M52326SP). So swapping outputs for two colors from VEY09P will usually show that the green (or whatever) CRT gun is functioning. For the 21PS, at least, Green input should be pin #2, Green output should be pin #4, and Green Vcc should be pin #5 on the VEY09P (pins #1 = ground, #3 = N/C). By the way, save the old (bad) chip; since each channel is identical and independent, you can use this old IC, for testing the next suspect VEY09P, by temporarily replacing a suspect channel, with one of the two remaining good color sections (keep all wires short!). In fact, you might even try this here, and see if one of the other sections will

I noticed there is a switch near the EEPROM that is labeled "normal" and "factory mode" but this has no effect. What is the procedure in using this switch to enter "factory mode"? If there is an empty socket near the switch you will require the programing jig to dump the factory settings into the EEPROM. The socket should be a two pin (serial clock, serial data) but may have a voltage and ground pin. You could try approaching an authorized Viewsonic agent to borrow their jig, however it is unlikely that they will agree.

QUESTION NO. P329-6: We have a number of Samsung Syncmaster 15gle, cma5377l monitor with dim screens. crt emmision is ok. tube is good? Samsung is very well known for bad tubes,especially samsung branded tubes. If tube ok Are you sure the check all b+ going to neck pcb. Check for bad caps in contrast circuit around ic101 pin 12(c105 and c107). Make sure you have good G1 and G2 voltages. If those CRT's are made by Samsung, especially their tubes with the blue labels, I would still be suspicious of them. These can be bad, even when they apparently test OK for emission on some CRT testers, and are a very common failure item. If the filament voltage is at least 6 volts (6.3 optimal), and the G1 and G2 are not too low, I'd still suspect the tube. If you are servicing a number of the same units for a customer, a temporary swap of the CRT/yoke, with one from a functioning monitor, could tell the story. The bad tubes may brighten up if the G2 voltage is raised, or if the filament voltage is jacked

QUESTION NO. P328-5: Dell D2026T-HS Ultra Scan 20TX monitor. Initial problem is a very dim image. Investigation reveals that G2 voltage enters neckboard at approx. 1000 volts. By the time it reaches the CRT socket it is down to about 80 volts. I believe it should be at least 120 volts there. It appears that Q407 and Q403 are involved in controlling the G2 voltage. After temporarilycomponentafor G2 divider to on this chassis, about 120=v. the image is much CRT board, Sony are The most common failure installing focus problems bring G2 up to is IC402 CXA1907S, on the brighter , but there p/n#8-752-071-56 (get from Sony, or try CCS). The old IC is hard to remove safely; it works best to clip off each pin, and remove the pins one at a time. But before buying this IC ($40+), you might want to check first with a CRT tester, to ensure that the CRT has good emission.

Also check C319, D316, D317, MOSFET Q317, coil L304 (probably damaged if burnt, or if it measures under 0.5 mH), and IC201 = TDA4858. Check the solder in the horizontal area, and around the diodes in the secondary of the power supply. Finally, ring the flyback.

QUESTION NO. P327-10: Apple M2943 monitor. On the CRT board are two sets of three resistors, white and orange. What do they do, how does one use them? I assume that one set adjusts the base values of the three colors and the other set adjusts the slopes. (I do have test patterns from Sonera Technologies which would be helpful for adjustments.) You may be referring to the two sets of trim-pots, on either side of the CRT assembly. There are a couple versions of this Apple (different FCC numbers), so I cannot know if yours will be the same as the one I will describe. Facing towards the back of the CRT, on the left side are three closely-spaced trim-pots, towards the bottom. Top to bottom, these are VR304 (Red Bias), VR305 (Green Bias), and VR306 (Sub Brightness). On the right side, there are two trim-pots above, VR301 (Red Drive) and VR302 (Green Drive), and a third trim-pot, somewhat lower than those two, VR303 (Sub Contrast). Typically, the red and green biases are adjusted, to give a good grayscale; the drive controls are only adjusted if the bias

QUESTION NO. P327-9: Apple M2943 monitor, red is somewhat brownish, and orange (I assume it should be orange) is medium brown. Is there a procedure for checking and adjusting computer monitors? Yes, of course there are procedures for checking computer monitors! In the case of your Apple M2943, there is a specific procedure Apple provides for its technicians, utilizing the Apple Service Source documents, and certain Apple-qualified hardware, like light-meters, etc. Their procedures are far too involved for this page. However, if interested, Apple has recently made it possible for any individual to become an Apple-certified technician (at least, in the US and Canada). Selfpaced training provides instruction, and if actual certification is desired, an exam is taken. For more details, see Apple's

QUESTION NO. P316-6: I have 12 "bad" GVC M1448L color monitors (FCC ID DK4M1448) that all appear dead except for the bottom-most of three LEDS flashes a few times on power-on and then remains on very dimly. All these monitors died while working. There is no indication of HV. On the two that I have opened up, the screen filaments do not light up. The fuse is ok. Try checking rectifiers D121 through D125, on the power supply secondaries. The "HER" rectifiers can go bad.

QUESTION NO. P316-2: Mag DX17F monitor, replaced the "usual parts" - only instead of replacing HOT w/exact replacement, used NTE cross. Unit worked for ~8 hours, then quit; then changed w/exact HOT(C4747) - noticed that NTE cross had "arced" to heatsink even though mica was used. Replaced flyback to no avail. In 640X480 unit will start to work then high voltage starts falling off. In high scan modes, high voltage starts to come up, but then goes away. Also, when in I would stick to the original HOT (C4747). Also check/replace Q116 (IRF740), Capacitors 123,120 (1uF/50V), 134 (1uF/450V), coil L105 (a good one measures 4.6mH and 175 rings on a Sencore LC102 using the coil setting).

I need the part # for the flyback transformer as it has no sticker on it but some production numbers by Hosiden and Hyundai (Japan). I believe the location is T602. The generic part number or a manufacturer's part number would be sufficient. The original flyback is FFA76017U, but these have become scarce, since so many have been dying. Recently, Daewoo has been substituting FFA76028U, which fits into the board after one extra pin is snipped off.

QUESTION NO. P316-1: Dell D1528 LS monitor, after one hour the display goes off. The high voltage remains and the monitor displays again if switched off and then on after a few minutes. The on time gets shorter with time. Capacitors C826 and C828 becomes very hot. You should change the caps, especially C826, it gets leaky; also check C823 and C841. There is a good chance the Zilog Z860204PSC microcontroller (I701) is going thermally bad. Does freeze spray affect it? Does the front panel LED change color at shut-off? Try NEI (www.neiparts.net/cmparts/semiconrecent.html; 888-634-7278), or CCS, for a replacement Zilog if you need one.

A common site for cracked solder is on the leads for the red driver transistor, located on the CRT board at the upper right from the back. But bad solder is widespread, so double-check or reflow the solder everywhere, including the black jumpers and the surface mount components. Also you may wish to check the red driver transistor itself, and check if the electrolytic capacitors are bad. If any caps are marginal, replace them all. This may be why your green is odd, as well as no red.

In addition to the previous answer, to prevent future problems with this monitor, replace c335. This is a 220pf cap at 2kv. Replace this with a 6kv version, these caps tend to cause a variety of problems.

QUESTION NO. P37-10: Gateway PMV1448 monitor does not sync at higher resolution rates. I can adjust VR701, VR102, VR103 and VR104 to get a stable picture at the higher sync rate, but when it goes back to the low rate it loses sync again. First check if your video input rates are acceptable for this chassis. This unit was originally specified for 640x480 and 1024x768 NI resolutions, using horizontal scan rates in the 30-32 MHz range, or 47-49 MHz range. So, you maybe can get 800x600 resolution, also, but only at a 48.1 KHz horizontal scan rate (Sencore mode 30), not at 35.2 KHz (Sencore mode 8).

The Mitsubishi cable's pinout has been posted before in this repair archive, if you need to look it up.

QUESTION NO. P39-3: Samsung Syncmaster 17GLi monitor has gone very dim. I suspect the lopt drivers q416 and q502 but as yet have not tested them. I am having trouble locating a sub for these, they are marked as C5129 5H. If the CRT is also made by Samsung, it is rather likely that this is the cause of the dimness. Samsung CRT's often get poor emission after a couple years; the ones with blue labels are worst this way. You might check if the filaments are getting good voltage. If they are, check the CRT emission on a CRT tester, to confirm the problem. Bad Samsung CRT's do not restore, they must be replaced. The C5129 transistor's full number is 2SC5129. If you do need 2SC5129, then in the US, try B&D

Trace back from the pulse width modulation IC VCC pin. Between here and B+ you will find a small (10uf-100uf) cap fed from one or more series resistors of fairly high value. These are often (totalling) 100K or more. Check the cap for low value or high ESR and the resistor(s) for open circuit. These components "trickle" down a startup voltage to the PWM chip and are common failure items.

QUESTION NO. P31-3: Sony CPD17F13 monitor powers up OK but picture smears to the right. Check the gun transistors on the tube board. It is quite possible that one or more of these is running slow giving you a lack of high frequency response. Another possibility is a cabling problem from the computer. If you are running an extention cable from the computer VGA socket which is not shielded or is too long, you can get a lack of high frequency response also. Finally (last resort), your tube may be gassy - but I would make sure everything else has been checked first before you make

Sometimes the flyback on this chassis fails in the focus divider section, and puts out excess focus voltage. Check if the focus voltage is staying too high, possibly even arcing around the CRT board or socket. If the CRT fitted in this chassis is a Sony M41KNP16X, that CRT is known to get blurry with time, and may need to be rejuvenated.

QUESTION NO. P229-5: MAG DX17T monitor has horizontal sync signal traced by scope all the way to the neckboard. Monitor does not sync horizontally. There is a position on board for an 8-pin chip. Is this an empty position or is a chip missing? The Eeprom, a 93LC66 chip, is location IC706; if this is the location that is missing an IC, get a preprogrammed replacement IC, from Mag. If IC706 is still installed, then for the sync problem, first try a microprocessor reset. Power up while holding in buttons 1, 3, 5, 7 (and NO others), inside the door, simultaneously. Do not release the buttons until the green LED has blinked four times; then wait a minute or so, for the reset to complete. If this does not permit the unit to sync up, IC706

This mismatch caused HOT to blow when driving above certain H freq. Where can I purchase a used original yoke? If this Orion tube is incorrect, what is a suitable tube sub supposing that yoke is taken care of?

It is MUCH easier to substitute an entire CRT/yoke assembly, than to try and fit another yoke onto a CRT, and then afterwards get acceptable convergence. If the horizontal and vertical yokes of the original and replacement yokes have about the same inductance readings, and the CRT parameters (neck size, diagonal, pinout, etc) match, a CRT/yoke combination usually can be substituted. For 15" CRT's of this type, I would guess that the vertical yoke is about 6 mH, and the horizontal yoke is about 0.18-0.20 mH inductance. If your replacement CRT has a yoke with about these values, it seems

QUESTION NO. P225-7: I am trying to identify components for the Digital GDM1961 21" monitor, i.e. STK7468 IC, C90M & C91-02 diodes and FT9620 MOSFET. I have traced the IRF9620 from International rectifier and SFP9620 from Fairchild as possible alternatives for the MOSFET. STK7468 is a discontinued Sanyo device. The diodes sound like Fuji Electric ultrafast rectifiers. C91-02 would be ERC9102 (3 Amp, 200 Volt, Trr < 35 nanosec), and C90M would be either ERC90M-02 or ERC90M-03 (200 or 300 Volt, 5 Amp, Trr < 35 nanosec), depending on the missing suffix.

Still have dim problem but sharp image. Voltages and signal seems OK. Could it be the TLS1233 or sub-bright circuit? This picture tube is manufactured by ERS not a Samsung. Is it the tube? Bad (dim) CRT's are very common on this chassis. There is some chance the 6.3V supply for the filaments is low. Scrape off any of that brown glue that goes conductive. This manufacturer uses that all over, on the P/S board, CRT board (G2 area?); also check the adjustment pots (sub-bright pot?), as this glue can sometimes seep into a pot and ruin it.

Also, check the flyback (can get from KDS, the manufacturer), it has an internal cap at pin# 13 that sometimes shorts to the HV anode. If these are OK, see if VR901 is setting the HV too high; you should have about 26KV on an HV probe, or if shutdown is too quick, try lifting the base lead of the HOT and measuring the voltage off the HOT collector (about 180-185 Volts) instead. Also, has this chassis had KDS's recommended upgrade done? To check, see if the part numbers on the hybrid IC IC402 and transformer T401

QUESTION NO. P127-8: Dell D1726S-HS Monitor powers up and comes on, good video but relay will start clicking. This is intermittent, and the screen will blank. It does not cycle at any given interval. Sometimes unit has played several minutes, 30-45 before doing and others does it when first fired up. This could just be a bad solder connection somewhere. Also, in one case of this symptom, on a related chassis, it was caused by a 7805-type voltage regulator (IC651), which was being overloaded a bit, and occasionally activated its internal shutdown circuit. Replacing it with a heftier regulator (a L78S05CV from Mouser Electronics, 800-346-6873) with better heatsinking solved that one. Perhaps a corresponding voltage regulator IC on your chassis is doing this. If either of these is not the cause,

This model uses a solid-state switch to apply the AC to the bridge, which is controlled by the microprocessor on the CRT board, via Triac optoisolator MOC2A60. If the optoisolator is not turned on, the unit will seem dead. This shutdown can be either real, due to bad components, or false, caused by a defect in the faultsensing circuitry. If there aren't any bad components, but the microprocessor is still unhappy, and not turning on the unit, the

QUESTION NO. P127-3: What type of transistor is Q301 in an Acer 7276e monitor? The monitor is not passing the Horiz drive signal past this transistor. I read 100 Ohms from base to emitter in both directions.

The pinout is S D G, despite Acer's misleading silkscreens, and it has an internal source-drain body diode. If this FET has died, you should also check the HOT = 2SC5048, C327 = 220 pF/2KV ceramic disk cap, J013 = 3 Amp picofuse, and resistors R241, R326, R328, R329.

QUESTION NO. P120-4: Mag DX17FG monitor has no video when it is connected to a known good computer. I do get video "No Signal Present" when the monitor is disconnected for the computer. When the monitor is once again connected the "No Signal Present" video disappears, so it does know that a signal is present. I replaced the 3-channel video amplifier chip part # M54734SP. Since you get some video, most likely it's a settings problem. Enter setup mode, by powering on unit while holding in both the Up(+) & Down(-) front panel adjustment buttons. Press menu button, enter OSD color bias menu, and raise the brightness and contrast limit values, using the Up & Down buttons, & Enter button. If individual colors need adjusting, set the individual color bias video gains with the Up, Down, & Enter buttons. At the end, power off unit for a few seconds, and then check if changes are saved. If this does not work, the Eeprom (IC703) may itself need changing. Less likely here, since you

In cases where the width adjustment has insufficient range, check if the B+ at the collector of the HOT is low, like 60-65 VDC in VGA mode. If so, try to widen it out by tweaking the HV adjust potentiometer VR105 to bring the B+ up a bit, you can usually go as far as 75-80 VDC of B+ on the HOT collector. I think some replacement parts can be a little inefficient, like certain versions of L105 that run warm, so this is probably just bringing the B+ back to where it should be. If the HV

But scrape away any of that conductive brown glue, anywhere you find it, power supply, main board, CRT boards, it's nothing but trouble in this chassis.

QUESTION NO. P1027-9: Samsung Syncmaster 3NE monitor, when powered on a low frequency "click" is heard around power supply area. Power led and screen are off. When I disconnect it, frequency slows down until "clicks" stop. I checked power supply transistor and other components like diodes around it, even optoisolator and everything was ok. I replaced the horizontal transistor which was shorted, no change. Check IC601 = KA3882 (an upgraded UC3842, like the Unitrode UC3842A or Cherry Semi CS3842B), and its associated components. Be sure the supply to pin #7 of IC601 exceeds 16V-17V for the IC's initial startup, and never dips below about 11V thereafter (even transiently, don't trust a DMM reading). If not, check components off of pin #7 (caps, diodes, transformer windings, start-up resistor values), or see if there is a short off the IC's output (pin#6). If good voltages to pin #7

QUESTION NO. P1026-6: I need an ECG replacement for C5339 Toshiba High Voltage of Monitor Acer. 2SC5339 is a 7 Amp transistor with internal damper. It is often unwise to try ECG subs for these types in monitors, and MCM (800-543-4330) and B&D Enterprises (800-458-6053) both list 2SC5339 in their stocks, but if you're insisting on an ECG, you might try an ECG2353. No guarantees, though (and, not knowing which Acer model it is, how could there be?).

These caps will sometimes leak Also check all the SMD electrolytics fluid that can eat traces and vias underneath the caps. Often it is hard to see this without magnification or removing the caps. Depending on what gets eaten, you get different symptoms. If any leaked, jumper any damaged traces and through-hole vias, and clean the board really well, besides replacing the caps.

QUESTION NO. P1019-7: Sun/Sony GDM-20D10 with bad pincushion. Remote control has no adjustment mode for this. Check/replace all the SMD electrolytic caps on the DA daughterboard, often several are leaky or have bad ESR. To remove the daughterboard, you need only unsolder the four larger pins holding the board in place (one at either end of CN01 & CN02), then it should unplug. Also, check IC103 = DAC8840FS (Sony part# 8-759-041-45), and IC02 = -5V regulator.

QUESTION NO. P1018-3: Several IBM G50 6543-301 monitors that are dead. When turned on, they make a high pitch grumble. I suspect the flybacks are bad. I cannot locate replacements. It is a Sampo FEA-426. Possible sources might be Component Technologies (888-359-2225), ICM (800-748-6232), Cactus Technology (626-3577979), or Sampo itself, (770-449-6220). In Europe, try ICHE (UK), or AGEA Technologies (France). Or, for a substitute, HR Diemen (www.hrdiemen.es), email (HR@hrdiemen.es), lists their transformer# HR7933 as an equivalent to FEA426. Other components implicated in "dead" G50's are, capacitors C162 & C164; the AC bridge rectifer (BR66) and the two 1.5

QUESTION NO. P1014-1: Mag DX17F, the HV has self-imploded, as I see from a lot of reading this monitor seems to do on a regular basis. Could you tell me if MAG-INNOVISION Offers any help that you know of for this rather expensive lemon? I have several lists of components to check, just started looking. R177 and L105 are gone. I am sure the High Output Transistor is gone and one on the driver board also popped as I was inspecting it. Is it worth contacting Mag First, there is not really an "upgrade" for the DX17F, just a standard set of parts that die or get degraded, and need checking, when any individual one goes. It would be unusual for a manufacturer to consider that situation 'poor design'; there isn't one component dying fast, it's just that a fault kills several of them. The owner of a DX17F might consider them a 'lemon', but for repair techs, they should be considered more like 'bread & butter'-- a common failure, with a defined solution, and a manufacturer that is actually willing to sell replacement parts reasonably. I'd take this Mag over a Nokia, Capetronics, Sony, or NEC chassis with the same symptoms, anyday. Once more, here's a basic list C120 & C123 (both 1uF/50V); R177 = 1 ohm, R181 = 120K; Q116 = IRF740 or 2SK1378 (depending); HOT Q109 = 2SC4747 or 2SC5048 (depending), D116 =

It has 3 terminals and is made of 3 copper contacts with 2 discs sandwiched between them. I 'd guess it's some form of diode arrangement. I have not come acroos this type of device before and need advice about what it is. It is just before the bridge rectifier in the main 220V line. See the answer for question P923-7, about a similar device in a Proton monitor.

QUESTION NO. P917-6: GVC m1448b monitor manufactured in March 1995, when it is first turned on it is fine then over time it loses color and everything turns reddish or darker colored. This sounds like a thermally-bad LM1203 chip.

QUESTION NO. P108-2: IBM 6321-001 monitor. When powered on it emits a pulsing squealing sound every second or so. There does not appear to be any high voltage. The power light does not appear to come on. I have checked most of the diodes / transistors in the main power circuit. I also checked the HOT on a whim. The HOT seems to have some funny readings. It did turn out to be the HOT transistor that was blown. I have since replaced it and the monitor is now repaired.

QUESTION NO. P917-8: HP D2804 monitor equipped with crt Samsung M34KUN35X03. Is it possible to substitute with Toshiba M34KQA23XX06? monitors I junk out, and substitute freely. Since the convergence is nearly impossible to set I save all the picture tubes from up, I leave the yokes on the tube. I can usually lay the chassis on its side and connect up the anode, yoke and ground wire (don't forget the ground wire!) without having to do the whole swap until I can see if the yoke is compatible with the existing drive stage. Surprisingly, about 75% of the time the tubes present no problem and the swap is relatively easy.

QUESTION NO. P922-5: MAG Tech DX17F monitor. In the process of performing the recommended horizontal circuit upgrade for the DX17F, I found that R177 original was .1 ohm, while the faq refers to R177 as 1 ohm. Is this an intended modification? My schematic lists R177 as 2.2 ohms. It is just a surge protection type of arrangement, and the value is not critical. Be sure to check/change L105. If Q116 was shorted, it is almost certainly fried.

QUESTION NO. P922-4: PB 1512SL Monitor, FCC H4ICM15006, constantly switches between Normal and Standby mode (continuous clicking of RL401). Checked TP001 for 23.5V and Q424. in the front corner of the board going bad. Almost all the problems these monitors have are caused by the Zilog IC Sometimes the little 8 pin eeprom next to it also goes bad, but I usually try just the Zilog IC first. I'm pretty sure static from the picture tube is what pops these, so I have gotten in the habit of putting a brass shield on top of them and grounding it. I have never gotten one back when I do this.

QUESTION NO. P930-1: Two common problems with Sun/Sony GDM 20D10 monitors - first, horizontal jitter causing fuzzy image. Second, pulsating parallel vertical wavy lines, which do not cause any picture distortion. Both problems originate in the video board and tend to moderate after monitor is warmed up, but I have been unable to track down the cause with freeze spray. On these units, check/replace ALL (26-29) the SMD caps on the DA daughter board. Avoid heating or yanking on these SMD caps, twist them off instead, gently twisting back & forth, or the adhesive underneath may rip out PCB traces. Use highquality replacements, the problem these SMD caps usually get is bad ESR. To remove the daughter board, desolder the four larger connector pins, one found at either end of both connectors CN01 and CN02.

In this situation, always replace cap C307 = 1 uF/50V and ceramic disk cap C320 = 100pF/2KV (it is better to use a 3KV rating); these caps, even if marginal, can cause the HOT to blow. Also check D308, C315, C353, C3950, C3951, C3952. If problems persist, check the coils (L304, L306, L307, L308, etc), check for bad solder in the horizontal area or on the

A relay clicks back and forth on power up. I encountered the same problem on a Smile monitor FCC ID# GBVCA6736DS which is actually made by "Kuo Fung". This thing is a bear to find exact replacement parts! The problem was originally damper-D104 by the HOT being shorted. I could not find an exact replacement, so I used a FMC G2C. I also found R111, and C125 out of value. As well L102 was leaking.

QUESTION NO. P914-7: NCD NC2082BA monitor, with (possible) FCC ID LANGF010108M (I've tried this number through the FCC with no results.). The monitor initializes, i.e., the LED indicator turns from blank to yellow to green. The display shows a video pattern with low contrast (the imagne is covered with white fog). The screen then begins an intensity oscillation, from foggy display to black. With each oscillation the intensity of the display increases (the foggy apperance remains, but the display gets much brighter with each oscillation); this continues until a vertical white line is displayed. The unit then fails; and, the power supply begins to cycle. When I check the HOT; it is shorted. Note I checked the HOT prior to I don't believe that is the true FCC#, I think it is probably FCC# ARFKDM2077, (mfgr. Sampo), and the HOT BU2527AF will be Q730. With the HOT shorted, also check FET Q714 and ultrafast diode D719. This model is notorious for getting many bad electrolytic caps in the main boards and the power supply; often, over a dozen can be bad or marginal in one unit. For that oscillating display problem, I'd first check the caps in the deflection area, replace any that are marginal or bad. Also carefully check all the caps in the power supply. You probably should just replace caps C943, C944, C949, C950. These four

QUESTION NO. P915-9: Sony CPD-15SX1 monitor. Switching power supply does not work, no signal to the gate of power FET(Q6) from IC-2 (uc3842AN). The Vcc of IC-2 is ~3.5V. The relay "click" one time as the power cord plugs in.

IC2 (UC3842AN) requires approximately 16 Volts VCC on pin #7 to start. VCC is usually supplied from the raw +160 Volt primary (line-side) supply via one or two large value dropping resistors. A zener may also be used for regulation. After the supply starts, the VCC is supplied from a diode-isolated low voltage souce via a power transformer secondary winding. Try lifting pin #7 of the IC & check the VCC. If it rises to normal, the IC likely is bad. If it remains low, look for series resistors that have increased in value, a filter capacitor that has decreased in value or with high ESR, or loading components such as a zener or isolation diode that is leaky. It is important to monitor the VCC at the instant of turn-on. If the supply

QUESTION NO. P99-7: Magnavox 20CM64BE01 20" monitor with a damaged main sweep, & high voltage module (flyback mounted on this module). Some of the damaged components were burned beyond identification. I need the part number for the main sweep & high voltage module in this unit & a source for replacement. Possible part number on the board parts source, 82880. I also need the part numbers &they can also ID parts; I parts also on the same module boardpart# For a is 3138 108 try NAP (Tennessee), 800-851-8885, values of the following found out that coil #5604 is Philips for 482215763218 (assuming that your unit's FCC# is A3KM020, too...) If they can't ID those parts for which you do not have the location numbers, try the Philips tech help line, 900-896-8324. There is a sevice bulletin from Philips concerning problems on this board and it sounds like it might be what you have. If Q7605 and/or Q7615 shorted do the following: replace Q7605 with BU2527 4822 130 63627, replace Q7615 with BU406 4822 130 47377, change C2609 to a 5.6nf 1.6kv 4822 121 43677, change C2608 and C2610 with 4822 124 22676, change D6608 EPG30G 4822 130 83128, add a 33ohm 3 watt resistor in parallel with R3655, replace C2607 with 4822 124 42161, check and replace L5604 (usually burned) 4822 157 63128. This was a common problem with this set when it was current.

QUESTION NO. P99-5: Acer 54e monitor, the failure led flashes intermittently. K2161 blown and when it is replaced and the board is turned on, there is an acute tone that lasts about 3 seconds and then the led starts flashing intermittently and the K2161 is blown again. Tested the c335, all diodes, transistors and caps around and the hot too and none seems to cause the failure.

If the FET is blowing, check if L304 (2 mH) has any shorted turns, also see if rectifiers D316 & D317 are at all leaky, not simply shorted. The original culprit for many of the problems on this Acer is frequently C335 = 220pF/2KV ceramic; replace it if is at all discolored, or gets warm running, or even on suspicion. This cap can seem to test OK, and still do damage to several components. Its series resistor, R214 = 15K ohm, sometimes burns also.

QUESTION NO. P97-6: Radius 0461 monitor FCC # AK8GDM20EO1 is shutting down on startup, with power and power save leds flashing but this time it is the geometry led that is on steady. What does this fault code mean? I have not found any faulty components yet but from your previous answers, I have now replaced or checked all the suggested components ( Qs , ICs, GEO light being on, indicates a high voltage failure. If all the FET's, HOT's, and the microfuses were all OK, then the The Cs, Rs and fuses ) without effect. usual problem on these chassis is a bad flyback transformer. But sometimes it is IC801, a 4049B CMOS logic IC, that is bad, and since that is slightly cheaper, check that first.

QUESTION NO. P97-5: Gateway 2000 DX17S monitor FCC# IAWDX1768SL. Symptoms; q906 irfi630 , diode d903 5d150f & zener zd901 all s/c. What is the value of zd901 it is labelled as 12a2 ( 12v??)? What is the normal b+ on the HOT? Are there any other components likely to have gone? ZD901 is a 12 volt zener. Besides the parts mentioned, check out the CRT, and check FET Q511, transistor Q512, and signal diode D527. The flyback may be bad, but sometimes rings OK despite this. Check for evidence of arcing at the CRT socket, and between the H & V focus wires. It is important when adjusting H & V focus pots, not to let the differential voltage between them get too large, or arcing may occur where the wires come close. Q512 should drop its 185V, to about 168V on the drain of Q511. Q906, the regulator FET for the HV generator (Q903), should regulate the B+ voltage at the FBT to about

QUESTION NO. P93-7: CTX VL700 monitor that has excessive brightness & brightness control has no effect. Screen control has no effect either. Have checked cap & resistors in Hi Voltage area with no luck. Check out Q336 = Philips JC337-25, signal diode D306, and 12V zener ZD402 for shorts/leakiness, and R480 = 240K, for value. The screen control on the flyback is nonfunctional, anyway, by design.

QUESTION NO. P93-5: Mag DX15T monitor. I changed a shorted Hot (2SC5129). Over components around that TX mesure OK passively. It works but after about 10 minutes, it seems to get hotter then usual.

QUESTION NO. P93-2: Qvision 200 monitor, dead. The first message was HV failure. I found C839 burnt up and a 330k ohm on the back of the board bad. I replaced both and now it comes up with V out of sync or H out of sync. It sounds like the HV is coming up and then dies at start up. This is a Philips/FIMI chassis (FCC# GZM). First, bad CRT's can occur, and should be checked for first. Then, besides the parts you replaced, carefully check out the three blue 1.6KV film caps, and also V805, V851, and V852. Best to replace with the Philips' originals, not with subs. Note, the BY584 high voltage diode has a substantial V-forward, so a good diode may well test open on a DMM's diode tester. If the HV failure persists, it's probably the flyback, possibly the focus module. There

QUESTION NO. P92-10: IBM 9527011 monitor. We have replaced R143 which was open, as well as T26, T32, and T47. T26 showed signs of excessive heat. We have B+ voltage (160V) but it does not appear to be making it to or through the horizontal circuitry. The B+ is making it to C96.

If you check the FCC number, you will see that this is a Nokia chassis. Check that those FET's are getting good gate pulses. Also, inductor M3 can cook and short between windings, so check out M3. You may need to change the TDA4852 on the microprocessor board. This Nokia has the same problems that other Nokia chassis have (bad solder, bad SMD's, etc); see more details in Monitor Repair Answer# P826-1.

QUESTION NO. P92-9: Packard Bell 1512sl monitor has vertical frequency of about 20Hz. I changed IC TDA9102C and Z0861404PSC, it did not help. I think is the Lite-On chassis, FCC#H4ICM15006, not the Goldstar.program. preprogrammed It sounds like your particular 1512SL that IC 93C56 needs to be replaced, but I do not know what You buy Eeproms (I703 = 93C56) for these Lite-On's. A good source is LJ Enterprises (800-627-8755); other possible sources are Nationwide Electronics, or CCS/EDI. Sometimes, I702 = MTV003 also dies, when I701 & I703 both go. It is a good idea to put a grounded copper shield on top of that new Zilog chip.

QUESTION NO. P92-5: Sampo KDM-2077 monitor has foldover at the bottom of screen. Top of screen is fine. Checked all caps and replaced TDA vertical IC. This chassis is notorious for large numbers of bad or marginal electrolytics. Do a complete cap check, you'll probably find several dead, and a dozen or more on the edge. Some, like C943, C944, C949, C950, can quickly do widespread damage even if slightly marginal, and probably should just be replaced. For your immediate problem, try cap C609 = 1 uF/250V, but check the others, or it will come back to haunt you. I have found that electrolytic capacitor c949 on the power supply board is the most common cause for this problem. This capacitor is used to filter the -16V supply which is used for the bottom half of the vertical deflection.

QUESTION NO. P827-1: PV-772IM monitor. The horizontal transistor C5251 was burned. I changed it, it ignites several times, but in one of them when extinguishing it, soon it does not return to ignite. One becomes to burn C5251. I also changed zener ZD601 and C616, but happens the same. It seems to me that either the flyback transformer or all components connected to the horizontal output transistor are at fault. If you have a flyback tester like the one soldC5251 repeatedly is blowing, if the flyback is atto replace the C5251 stops that In this particular monitor, sometimes, when by Anatek, you may find out using 2SC5207A fault. problem.

Both pincushion, controls, 010K and 200-1200 ohm have negligable effect. VR611 adjustment does not help, nor does VR902. Replaced IC' 302 (ECG987) and high voltage (160V No250V) cap C615 =connecting diodes, diodes D605, D606, andbe OK, except Q306, Check/replace IC602 (ECG7062) or change. All other 10 uF, coil L603, caps and trans. seem to transistor Q611 = 2SD1138. It's also a good idea to check C624, C625, C626 for high ESR and value, besides C615. If one of the two HV caps, in series off the collector of the HOT, has shorted, this will give excess width, but also gives lowered HV and a dim display.

QUESTION NO. P827-9: Mitsubishi Diamond Scan HA-3905ADK Monitor. Read here that their Cable for Dell/Mitsu monitors is not a standard Cable like for VGA. Is that true for this model? I have been trying to align the picture to my test box, but it is all over the screen, cannot seem to sync.

Yes, this model uses a different cable pinout from usual, and using standard VGA cables does give that sync. problem. The Mitsu. cable's pinout, on the monitor side is, pin #2 = red; #3= red ground; #4 = green; #5 = green ground; #6 = blue ground; #8 = vert. sync.; #9 = horiz. sync.; #10 = blue; pins #1, 7, & 11 - 15 are no connection.

QUESTION NO. P827-7: Toshiba version of this Gateway 2000 1572FS monitor has a black relay in right rear that clicks every one second or so after power up. Nothing on screen. Previously responded to flexing the main PCB. Found bad solder at Q105 but repairing this only made the problem unresponsive to flexing the PCB (?). There are a couple FCC #'s for the 1572FS, so I am not sure which your Toshiba is, but, depending on the exact case used with the 1572FS, the plastic bottom can warp from heating over time, and plastic tabs protruding up from the bottom can hit the PC board in the monitor, mashing solder joints. This is especially true, for the tabs on the swivel base case. If this is the case, check and resolder the affected solder joints, and besides Q105, also check / resolder R302, L103, and the yoke connector. To prevent further solder problems, slice 1/8 inch or so off the plastic tabs at the rear. Also, if R331 = 91K is present in the power supply of your version, and is even a small amount high in value, this can cause problems. If it went

QUESTION NO. P826-1: Nokia 447E090 monitor. Narrow vertical bar; rutured R195 & R205. What values are these resistors? What other damage should be suspected, if any? R195 & R205 = 215 ohm, 0.5 Watt. In general (some part variations), on the several 447E chassis variants, when these two resistors burn, also check PFET's like T13 & T27, HOT T32, inductor M3 for shorts between its windings, resistors R120 = 100 ohm & R224 = 0.47 ohm, diode D28, & capacitor C121. Also check the various small SMD transistors, like T60 or T65, often marked '3F' = BC857B; these often go leaky or bad, but never it seems to be the same one twice. In the US, Trillium Industries (919-829-9747) carries Nokia coils; you'd need the coil's "FM" number, since "M3" is just a location.

QUESTION NO. P826-10: Dell P1728U monitor. It has a Mitsubishi chassis TB92108801.2. I replaced the shorted HOT and it worked for about 10 seconds until the HOT shorted again. If you found the HOT Q503 shorted, what was the condition of Q534, the P-FET that regulates its B+? When this P-FET (usually a 2SJ307) goes, it overvoltages the HOT. Also check for any bad components (diodes, resistors, etc) off the gate of the FET, to avoid more blowups. If, when you say the new HOT "worked", you mean the unit powered on, but you didn't actually see a full display briefly, then it is also reasonable to check the horizontal yoke coil and/or the CRT for shorts as

QUESTION NO. P823-10: IBM 6543-301 monitor (G50), dead. I have a 45vdc in the hot. In the power supply I have 166vdc. I changed IC tda4855 and tda4866 with no change. Also, what is the IC ST6370J5B1/BLI.for this? If the unit is 'dead', check Q520, Q521, Q522, Q603, R102 & R145 = 1.5 ohm, R133 = 0.15 ohm, R424 = 180K, R520 & R521 = 22 ohm, R523 = 1 ohm, the bridge, CR113 = BR66, CR502 = BYV27, and check caps C162 = 470uF/25V and C164 = 1000uF/25V for value and ESR. These two capacitors, when marginal or bad, can cause a host of problems. That voltage of 45 VDC is too low. It could be there's a fault in the voltage boost circuit run by FET Q602, if the FET does not operate. It would be unusual (though not unheard of), for a FET to fail as nonfunctional, rather than shorted, so see if the FET's gate is getting good drive pulses. If not, my suspicion would be to ring coil L600, in series with the FET, for shorted turn(s), that would cause an overcurrent-related shutdown of the driver IC, Z600. But, there's a possibility that the driver IC could be

QUESTION NO. P727-3: Two Proview pv1564 monitors, totally dead (no light in power on indicator), and the only sound I hear when power on is from the degaussing. B+ is 0V, but there is power on rhe FET in the power supply. Is the FET receiving pulses at its gate from the 3842 chip? If not, check or replace the 3842 IC, check any diodes or resistors between pin#6 and the FET's gate, and see that the power supply is providing the proper Vcc voltages to the 3842 at pin#7 (on a scope, at least 16 volts for startup; not dipping below 11 volts while running). If the Vcc voltages are bad, check any resistors, electrolytics, or diodes off of pin#7. If the FET is getting good gate pulses from the 3842 IC after all, does its drain react to the pulses, or is it dead? Also, check to make sure that the current-sense resistor, in line with the FET source, is not

Check out IC401 = STV7778, this IC controls both the horizontal and vertical scans, and the chip is prone to developing problems. You may need to simply replace STV7778 (or sub a TDA9103, if it is more convenient). Besides IC401, you may wish to check the solder on the flyback, and also the components C903, C905, C907, D902, D903, D905, Q407, Q802, Q902. Substituting a 7 Amp HOT (C3892A) for a 10 Amp HOT (BU2520DF) seems like a poor choice, and may cause early

It is never a great idea to try to sub a HOT, and that's also true here, but if you get stuck, try a Philips BU2520.

QUESTION NO. P78-1: Need cross ref for the following components from a HP D2830A monitor (FCC ID# A3LCGC560); Q503 (C5386) and Q407 (C5002). Usually, these would both be Japanese "2SC" type transistors. But that FCC number indicates that this chassis is a Samsung (Korean) chassis, and that complicates matters. Toshiba (Japanese) makes a 2SC5386 horizontal deflection transistor (1500Vcbo, 8 Amp, 50W), but, in a confusing coincidence, Samsung itself also makes KSC5386 (1500 Vcbo, 7 Amp, 50W). The two devices are not interchangeable, because the Samsung device has a damper diode, the Toshiba does not. So it is important to determine the transistor's manufacturer, for example, from the logo on the device. A possible sub for the Toshiba 2SC5386 might be Sanyo's 2SC5297, while Samsung's KSC5386 might be subbed by Sanyo's 2SC4123. The

I have checked the flyback capacitors, they look good. ST Microelectronics has obsoleted the THD400. If this is the Philips unit made by Fimi (FCC# begins with GZM), it has been suggested to modify the chassis to accept a 2SC3998 for V815 replacement. In addition to the installing the 2SC3998, which will need a retainer clip, and mica insulator with heatsink grease, the modification also requires removing V841, C883, and C884, and installing a jumper wire in place of C884. Be advised that if the THD400 shorted along with other faulty components, the replacement may also blow, if those are not also fixed.

The problem resistor in the Gateway 1572FS chassis with the FCC# IAWLX1564 is resistor R331, which is 91K ohms; if it gets above 95K ohms, it can cause squealing and waviness. Use a precision, 1-2W replacement type. Also check R335 & R336, 180 ohms, and R503. Sometimes, VR303 needs re-adjusting, to get ~180V at R331, to remove all the lines from the video.

QUESTION NO. P72-1: I need a source for replacement back lit lamps for Toshiba notebooks. They are very tiny, about 24 mm in diameter. If you insist on a new exact-replacement lamp assembly, dressed out to fit your model notebook, the source is probably going to be Toshiba. Toshiba sells the lamps for $150+ apiece, given the proper part number, which depends on whether the LCD display ass'y. is truly made by Toshiba (like p/n# P000197200), or is a Sharp display (like p/n# P000194950).

That will be a Philips BU2520DF, a transistor with an integral damper diode; there are many possible sources, among them MCM (800)543-4330 and B & D Enterprises (800-458-6053). Also test the flyback after replacing the HOT. Without having any model numbers or FCC numbers, there is no way to get specific about your symptoms, or sources for manuals. If the FCC number is present, look up the manufacturer from the FCC number, and try them for manuals. For the units with vertical collapse, if these only have shrunken video, but are syncing the Ivideorepaired one with same symptoms by replacing the With respect to the voxon monitors with the vertical problems, just properly, try testing the vertical IC with heat or freeze, C3205 transistor near the vertical output IC using a NTE-11. Replace it even if it checks good because it breaks down under a load.

QUESTION NO. P524-6: HP-A4033 (GDM-20E01) monitor. See answered question P510-5. I replaced Q511, IC404 and checked all the caps per answer. Turned the unit on and everything was fine for a few days. Upon power up on day 3 the Win98 Splash screen was fine from the center of the screen (top to Bottom) to the lefthand side. From the center to the righthand side it was way out of focus (top to Bottom). As it warmed up I could see the focus getting better and then just as it was almost all in focus, the picture died and I heard the screach again. I took it apart and found Q511 and Q512 to be ok. Probably a bad flyback, foucu pack, and/or crt.

QUESTION NO. P526-10: IBM 6543-301 monitor (G50) with no high voltage in the hot. There is 45vdc and 45vdc in the neck board. When I start the monitor the led blanking "green orange". I changed the IC number tda4855 and tda4866 with nothere B+ at the collector ofpin out for IC ST6370J5B1/BLI. flyback? Is there B+ at the collector of the h driver Is change. Also, what is the the h output or B+ terminal of the transistor, do you have any HV at initial startup or does the unit totally refuse to produce any eht? What value is the regulated B+ from the smps? It should measure roughly 125 - 130 volts. If there is no source to the deflection ckts then look for probs in the regulator/smps.

QUESTION NO. P64-7: Princeton EO75 monitor, HOT shorted 2SC5270A. Need specs or substitution. It appears that Princeton eventually substituted another part Vcbo, 12 Amp, 120 Watt max. Tfall isproblems. 0.12 usec; Tstg is typically1.5 2SC5270A is a Matsushita HOT, rated 1600 for this transistor because of repeated typically usec; gain is 5-12 (8 typ) at 6 Amp Ic; Vce[sat] is 3 V max. (1 V typ) at 6 Amp Ic/1.5 Amp Ib. It has a TO3PE case, for which that max. wattage rating is very high. This, with the 1600V Vcbo rating, make this one difficult to sub exactly. But, MCM (800) 543-4330 does list 2SC5270A itself for about $9, and B&D Enterprises (800) 458-6053 for about $13.

QUESTION NO. P526-5: Nec JC1741UMA monitor, the power light is on and the tube sounds like it is charging but there is no picture on screen. If there is power and high voltage, but no video, one cause is forgetting to put the Sync switch on the back panel to its "on" position! Also, check that the BNC/D-sub selector switch on the front panel is set correctly.

QUESTION NO. P526-4: Several Compaq model 471P FCC ID CSYSC-428VSA have vertical def problems. The problem is the IC201 and the heat sink compound was dry (TDA8351). The IC seems to be heating up. All caps in section are good. I checked it and it is about 145 degrees. Is that normal? This Samsung chassis is notorious for burning up vertical IC's. There should be a resistor (R201?) off pin 6 that may also be damaged, the exact resistor value will vary depending on chassis version and CRT yoke installed. Any caps off of pin 6 should also be checked. You may need to adjust the B+ voltage to pin 6, or play with that resistor's value, to get the IC to run cool now with the other (aging) components; too low a value for that current-limiting resistor, or conversely too high a B+ voltage to pin 6, can cause the IC to overheat. You should not be exceeding 36 Volts to pin 6 of TDA8351, if adjusting

QUESTION NO. P430-6: Mag Innovision 17f monitor, has a jitter that occurs once in a while slightly and close to the middle of the screen there is a line going from top to bottom.

Occasionally a Usually a bright vertical line toward the center replace C908 anyways. winding in the Flyback can produce a similar result. The bright line accompanies or is a precursor to a folded image in that area.Mag DX17F has a line in the center of the is commonly caused by the wrong h.o.t or a H.O.T going bad. I have seen The 2sc4747, 2sc5048, 2sd1887 transistors listed. I tried interchanging these and in every case when the one that came originally in the monitor was changed to one of the others it caused a faint verticle line located in the center of the screen. The line location changes with resolution and becomes two lines at 1024x768 and higher.

QUESTION NO. P430-4: Nec 5D monitor with no power LED, no heater in picture tube, but has hi-voltage present on front of screen. Power supply checks out, 170v, 85v, and 24v are present. The NEC 5D gets its filament voltage (6V) from the Video input board, that is the board nearest the back. If you trace the twin ribbon cable from the CRT board to this board you will see where it is fed from. The six volts is fed through a resistor which ultimately derives it's supply from a 12 volt source. I think you will find a 12 volt regulator on this board that is supplied from the 24 volt source coming into the board. This is a common problem. Also check all components from the 12

QUESTION NO. P518-9: Acer 7156 monitor. I replaced the flyback and got the monitor back to life. But now the picture is about an inch too wide and the front panel horizontal control does not have any effect, nor does the pot inside the monitor. The rest of the digital controls work perfectly but when pressed the one corresponding to the horizontal width all the green LEDs flash weakly while pressing the button. This symptom is usually caused by a shorted diode in the horizontal output circuit. Thoroughly check all diodes, especially the larger ones around the flyback area. Occasionally the Horiz. Output Transistor will short B to E. If the output uses a transistor with an internal damper diode, it will show shorted anyway (to a meter). However, if the output does not have an internal damping diode, then it should not show shorted B - E. The Horiz. and High voltage will often still operate even

QUESTION NO. P514-6: Highscreen MS1457 LE-II monitor. After 15min picture gets darker and out of focus, no significant change in picture geometry.

That is with the anode and crt socket attached and removed from the crt. Make sure the regulated B+ is correct to the deflection ckts also.

QUESTION NO. P511-2: Mag DX17 Monitor suddenly lost focus and got slightly brighter (no noise or burnt components). Turning down HV and adjusting focus and screen restored focus, but picture is now darker and smaller. This could be either a defect in the screen/focus voltage divider section of the flyback, or some conduction may have developed between the focus and G2 grids within the CRT. If the focus and screen controls were interacting, and affecting each other's function while being adjusted, this would favor leakage between the CRT grids. In that case, see Anatek's Tips & Tricks webpage, for a trick on how to "zap" the CRT pins and clear these kinds of CRT shorts. Or, if the flyback has

QUESTION NO. P427-2: Ultra VG-1520 monitor FCC IDk17vg-1520, dim and fuzzy picture. I have exchanged the lm1203n and checked all the caps, resistors, transistor on the crt print with no luck. When I first opened the cabinet, I could see that the shielding on the crt print did not have any connection to ground. Check the tube to make sure it is in good shape. Try to adjust the focus on the flyback. If the focus is at the end of the pot than it sounds like you have tube problems. Restore the tube for extended life.

QUESTION NO. P520-3: Mag DX700T monitor which is repeatedly blowing the HOT and R173. The board has been thorougly checked for dry joints. The fault occurs when the image size is increased to fill the screen. On resizing, the OSD loses sync and the picture folds back over itself on the left side before emitting a hissing sound and blowing the HOT.

QUESTION NO. P514-4: Mag DX15Fe monitor in which the CRT was replaced. Purity adjustment is OK but when converging the red and blue the red does not seem to be as high in the vertical sweep. If you converge at the center the red is down from the top and up from the bottom. Answering my own question, I tried another CRT in case it was bad with no improvement. Changing the yoke solved the problem. It does test OK but marginally. I still do not know why it affected only the red gun though.

QUESTION NO. P518-1: Gateway 15" Vivitron monitor made by Sony and is equivalent to their 15" Vivitron. The color is not right in the lower right hand corner. The monitor worked for a while like this, but now it will not power up. Both LED's flash now. First, there are two Gateways that are 15" Sony chassis, which differ from each other. The unit is in shutdown (blinking LED's); the potential causes will depend on which exact chassis it is (indicated by the FCC# or Sony chassis#). But here is one point. The color problem sounds like a warp in the aperture grill in the CRT, requiring a new CRT, though it probably isn't the direct cause of the shutdown. But it may indicate the unit was roughly handled by the owner, and the Sony 15SF1 version (Sony SCC-H01A or SCC-H35A chassis types) can get cracks in the PC board traces, or broken pins on IC's, esp. near the center of the board, if rough handling causes the CRT to whack on the big heatsink there. Those cracks/broken pins

QUESTION NO. P510-5: GDM-20SE1 Monitor was dead. Q511 and Q512 were shoted. R470 was burnt. I replaced both Q's and R470 with a 1K (I think this was the right value). I also found ps501 open and replaced it. Everything else checked ok. Powered up at 640 X 480 and ran for a few minutes. I changed to a higher res and heard a screech and lost power. It took out ps501 again and found Q511 shorted again. On the PCB D504(Zener) is missing??, and C511 is a diode instead. (which seems to check good.) I also found R638 in the PS to be burnt a little, but not open. ( looks like .o47ohms) Q512 still looks The diodes off the gate of the FET Q511 are for gate protection. When a zener is used at location D504, generally 13V, this protects against gate overvoltage. Some chassis, like yours, have a different diode, protecting against gate voltage reversal, and is either a germanium diode (like 1N132), or a Schottky type, which is chosen for its low forward voltage. R638 = 0.47 ohm/0.5W/ fusible. With this model, check all the electrolytic caps in the power supply for leakiness or bad ESR; if bad, they can overwork and blow that circuit. Also, Sony had a bulletin recommending that the spark gap be replaced with a 300

Two of these monitors also have pincushion/horizontall adjustment problems. Replace the six 1 uF caps (three bipolar, three high voltage) on the CRT board, these are a known cause of smearing. The front panel adjustment pots on the units with manual controls (H.size, H.width, H.phase, etc) are low-quality, so replacing these may solve the horizontal adjust problems.

QUESTION NO. P42-5: Gateway 2000, Model CS1572FS has Horz. shadows much like mouse cursors trails but they do not go away. They are very noticable on icons and trail to the right of all open Window Boxes. All else works fine. Gateway used "1572FS" for a couple of different chassis (different FCC#). Smearing to the right is relatively common, and can be either the CRT being bad, or problems on the CRT board. If the smear to the right is white, not colored, this favors a bad CRT. The units with Toshiba CRT's are generally bad CRT's, units with Hitachi CRT's are more likely to be smeary from bad CRT boards. In those, check the CRT boards for bad caps, transistors/ video amp IC, zeners, etc. In those chassis

On this Sony chassis, the blinking LED's indicate a shutdown, but there are several causes of this. It could have helped to indicate which LED's were on solid, as well as which are blinking, to narrow down the possibilities.

Some manufacturers use '3F' as the marking code for the BC857B transistor, a SOT-23 PNP transistor similar electrically to the BC557B (TO-92 device). But marking codes for SMD devices are not standardized across the industry, so this is not a guarantee. If it is that device, then pin#1 = base, pin#2 = emitter, and pin#3 (on opposite side) = collector.

QUESTION NO. P121-2: Where can the focus block be purchased for the Compaq Qvision 200? I have turned work away because Compaq will not sell parts. When you are dealing with monitors from computer BOX makers, these concerns do not make their monitors, they buy them from any of several subcontractors, so you HAVE to use the FCC number to know the OEM manufacturer. This situation pertains to Compaq's. Since you did not give the FCC number on your model, I can only guess, but if it is a 480P with FCC number starting with GZM1323, then the monitor is from Philips/FIMI. You can get the focus block from a Philips parts

QUESTION NO. P1123-3: I wish to split a VGA signal in two. I want to connect two monitors approx. 20 feet apart from the one Industrial PC. Can this be acheived without adding additional circuitry and if it cannot, what is the best and cheapest solution to the problem. I sometimes drive two monitors from one pc through a home-made "Y" cable. The only drawback to this is that the video signal strength is slightly reduced. This will vary depending on the monitors used. There is a small chance that the other signals will seem to interfere with one another causing loss of sync. or a shakey picture. If your installation will be somewhat permanent, you may increase the monitors' internal contrast to compensate for the reduced video. Try the "Y" cable approach first. The worst that will happen is that you won't like the result. If you need something better or wish to drive more

QUESTION NO. P1024-2: I have an AOC CM-335 monitor with poor horizontal deflection (ie 2 inches short, both sides). There is no adjustment on the front, and no labeled pots inside.

QUESTION NO. P1118-5: The monitor I was working on had an intermittent crt yoke connection problem, in that the screen would have a tint of green. I could slightly twist the card that attaches to the yoke and the problem would come and go. Upon removing the card from the yoke a pin came out with the socket. Is there any way of reattaching the pin or is the monitor junk? Are you referring to the small rectangle of board that is attached directly to the top of the deflection yoke, or do you mean the larger PCB that is plugged in to the back of the CRT itself? If it is the board on the yoke, it should be a simple matter to just remove the wire from the jack and solder it directly to the base where the pin broke off from. However, if you are talking about one of the pins that stick out the back of the CRT, you might be out of luck. I had a monitor brought to me once with a missing CRT pin. There was enough pin remaining that I was able to solder a short piece of stiff wire to it and make it

QUESTION NO. P1024-5: I have a KDS-1500 monitor. The problem is it blows out the fuse as soon as I put the power. To my understanding there is a short somewhere. The relay does not get activated and there is no sign of burnt component. The problem is residing into the power supply. I have disconnected everything cable that goes out to the other boards and it stills blows out the fuse. Once or twice a year I see this and it can happen to any monitor.

QUESTION NO. P116-2: I have a KFC 14" monitor, 4 years old. It can only handle the sync. 60 Hz in resolution 800*600 pixels. When I tried to set it to 90 Hz (in Win 95) there was a clicking sound in the tube, and the monitor turned into "sleepmode". When I restarted the system, the green power on led did not show any activity. Instead the orange energy led lit and the monitor was giving a ticking sound. There is no high voltage on the tube. What could be the problem? Assuming that "it can only handle 60Hz at 800x600" means, that this is what the monitor's documents tell,- well then most certainly something went because you exceeded the max. horiz. scan rate. You can calculate the horiz. frequency applied at a given refresh rate from "vert.lines" X "vert.refresh rate" (plus 10% for safety reasons if you are near the limits of your monitor). 60HZx600lines makes 36kHz. Your 90Hz X 600 lines gives 54KHz, - which is too high for older monitors (3848Khz). - Probably the Horizontal Output Transistor shorted out. If the picture had unusual width or low brightness before dying or it collapsed to a vertical line or spot on failing this would confirm. If it collapsed to a horizontal line then maybe If it is the KFC I think it is, you have blown the HOT. Should be a 2SC4770.

QUESTION NO. P119-1: Compaq 440 and 450 15" and 17" monitors. Where can I get the digital adjustment tool and software that plugs into the back of the monitors? These Compaqs are Zenith chassis. If you are talking about adjusting the RGB values, only a few places (in the US) have that alignment software, and they will not share; they will want around $100 per unit to do the job. If you would rather try a workaround, you can probe the CRT board with a 10K resistor attached to its ground, to find the point that affects what you need. This probably will be near the base side of the driver transistor outputting that color signal to the CRT. Then you vary the value of this resistor (or use a trimpot), or raise the bias by attaching the resistor to Vcc instead of ground, until it adjusts

QUESTION NO. P1028-2: I need to have the part numbers or values for C350, Q350, and Q302 for model# RM07f11 on a 17" AST computer monitor. C350 is 1 uF/50V, the FET is IRF630, but that Q350 is an NPN digital switching transistor; try an NTE/ECG sub for that one. These are all pretty similar in function, except for the Collector current they're intended to switch; the NTE/ECG 2359 needs the least base current, but go to a 2357 or to 2355 instead, if the Collector current at turn-on would exceed 5 or 10 mA, as the 2359 base's turn-on voltage would exceed 5V at such current.

QUESTION NO. P1023-3: RE Answer P819-6 CTX 1565D, No raster. Have hi-volts, tube neck lights, will degauss ,computer power up aware. Soldered CRT connections as advised. Still no raster. Could not identify a G1 or D2 to check. Would appreciate a kick in the right direction to get this to light up again. G1 and G2 Voltages are developed by the horizontal deflection circuit. They are necessary to produce illumination on the face of the CRT. The G2 voltage should be about 1000 to 1500 volts at the source and must be adjustable to set the drive bias at the CRT. The G1 voltage normally is near 50 volts, in some cases closer to earth or even higher. Without a schematic of the circuit, it is rule of thumb time. Also, the focus voltage should be about 5 to 10 % of the uther voltage. Anode voltage is another rendition of uther voltage. Of course, the filament must be illuminated for any theromionic conduction to occur,

QUESTION NO. P114-7: Have a Nokia 447x monitor with hv but no horizontal sweep. Yoke is OK. Aside from bad yoke connections, and bad solder on the small board inside the cover on the back of the yoke, other common problems are FET# T27, resistors R195, R205, R224, and shorts in centering transformer M3. To replace M3, you need to read off its part#, which begins with FM2525 or FM2565, etc. There are several M3's, and your Nokia model number is incomplete (is it 447X058? 447X158? 447X258? etc), so I can't tell what you have, but be sure you order the correct M3 type from Nokia, or (in the US) from Trillium, 919-829-9747.

One is a CTX VL700 the other is an IBM2124.In both cases the ticking seem to be coming from the power supply area. In the IBM, the power LED would blink in sync with the ticking sound. The first thing to check on both monitors is the H.O.T. transistors. The symptom you are describing is a short on the B+ line. The reason the power supply ticks is because it is going into over current regulation.

The monitor is made by SONY for Dell and my customer spent a couple of hours on the phone w/Dell only to find out that they no longer support this monitor and referred him to contact SONY. Does anyone out there have the software and cable or info. on where I can get it? You need the Sony digital alignment software/interface (DAS) package, and Sony will sell you this, but expect to drop roughly $1000, or more, depending on what equipment/interfaces/cabling you already have or can wire up. I think this Dell is a Sony CPD-15SF1 chassis if so, the DAS connector will be a 4-pin connector with round pins near the flyback. If instead the connector is near the power supply and has flat pins, it is a CPD-15SF2. If your client has a lot of units, would they be You may be able to get what you need from Sony parts .

Other than that, I would check for bulged caps in deflection (but that should cause abnormal picture size in the first place) and the flyback being cool (maybe ring it). What about the HOT's base drive signal? Schematics would be ideal for checking that, but anyway at the end of scan there MUST be a clear and SHARP edge for the HOT to shut down properly. (neg. spike at the end of scan going >5V below GND and the base stays negative until HOT ishave described. Set working fine but HOT runsaat higher than normalbase of I have experienced similiar problems that you triggered again). Look for any cap (parallel to resistor) driving the temperature then fails. This indicates that the transistor is not switching on hard enough or there is a failure in the circuit being driven. As the other reply, suggest it is worth checking the DC voltage present on the primary of the pulse transformer. Should be a steady DC voltage if not suspect that the filter cap has gone bad. In my experience, replacing the bad cap fixes In reference to the Link monitors, I have a WYSE model WY-1791DES (FCC ID HSUTRLDN-1782). That I believe is the same monitor. It also has a shorted Yoke Drive Transistor (Q420) the original part # is BU2527AX. I have not looked at the spec differences betweeen the and the BU2527, But perhaps you should be replacing the 25 with the 27?

QUESTION NO. P106-9: I have a Samsung Syncmaster 3NE monitor Model No. CVP4237L that I am repairing. I now have the monitor working after replacing the HOT.

Monitor looks very clean, no burnt components, no cracks on board. Any idea? Power supply? Listen carefully to the power supply. If it is ticking or chirping, suspect the HOT. If not, check the video connector pins (PC end). A bent pin(s) that disables sync. signal(s) will place the monitor in power save mode if it is so equipped.

QUESTION NO. P107-5: I have a monitor Addonics 142 LR that loses one color after 20-30 minutes! What could be wrong? guess would be poor solder on the CRT neck board or any other board the video signals travel through. The CRT My first neck board runs fairly warm so it is subject to heating/cooling stresses that crack solder as well as make the failing connections intermittent. I also find it worthwhile to spray contact cleaner into the video connector (PC end). This is not likely your problem but I have seen colors change their level because of dirty pins.

QUESTION NO. P104-6: I am working on a PB1512sl FCC ID BEJCP510 (Goldstar) monitor. It has an intermittent problem with the screen brightness wavering which also affects raster size and focus slightly. I can mimic the problem by wiggling the screen and focus controls. The symptom does not seem to respond to vibration or freeze spray. Am I correct in assuming this is a problem in a voltage regulation circuit, and do you have a suggestion as to suspect components? Wiggling the screen focus controls causing the problem would indicate a problem either with the physical controls (that is FBT assembly) or the connections from the fbt to the pcb.

Either the dag coating has failed or the Arcing the hole. This coating is indicative that ground strap return to the chassis ground has opened. Having poor focus in only one quadrant of the screen would indicate that probably something within the crt has moved. If the focus in all the rest of the raster is good then you should be able to rule out the focus/hv supply as the cause. Is the purity also affected only in the same area?

QUESTION NO. P925-6: I have NEC JC-1531VMA monitor with problem. Both sides of picture are bowed outside ( ). Picture is clean. Adjustment from the front panel in service helps slightly. The common problem that causes this symptom is that C561 = 470uF on the main board can leak electrolyte, damaging traces on the PC board. Remove the cap and check underneath: if this cap leaked, you'll need to clean the board well, check all nearby traces carefully for damage, and to jumper any damaged traces. Even with no loss of continuity, leakage onto the trace from the wiper arm of pot VR403 to pin# 8 of board# PWE317E can actively cause problems, so you may need to actually CUT that trace at both ends, and jumper between the cuts. Note, the leaky cap may actually test good, but replace it anyway with a 50V cap. Cap C557 can also get leaky and should get checked, too. A bit of conformal coating or lacquer on the PC board after cleaning well can be a future safeguard. Secondarily to this problem, if it still will not adjust, and you're There is not 53.5 V across R409. It varies with the witdth of pix as low as 27V to 35 Volts.

QUESTION NO. P923-4: Could anyone tell me the spec of an oldish Sony monitor model GDM-1952? I have also seen these badged as IBM's, and neither of them will sync from a vga card. A lot of these units are fixed mode VGA not Super VGA and will only run on 640x480 mode. Specifications and notes on the sony gdm 1952. This monitor syncs exclusively to the resolution of 1024x768 at a vertical scan rate of 60hz and horizontal scan rate of 50khz. You might get it to sync to the resolution of 640x480 at 60hz but, this is unadvisable since on a crt of this size this would give huge text and icons and very little desktop space. It is designed for 1024x768. The only drawback is the noticable flicker that the 60hz refresh rate produces. If you have the sync on green version of the monitor or video cable you can compensate with sync on green adapters excluding certain newer computers and video cards. The optimum would be the external sync (5bnc board on monitor) and 5bnc 2hd15 or db15 video cable. I

QUESTION NO. P98-9: I am working on a GVC 1450C that had a blown HOT transistor. The ID # was a C4916 which crossed to a ecg 2353 with a note stating that it might not be the same electrical or mechanical match but works in most cases. So I throw one in and bring it up on a variac, everything seems fine. I run the monitor for a few hours turning it off and on every so often, worked fine. The customer takes it home plugs it in and it dies. Is this replacement part one of the few that will not work with this application or is there something else I am missing? I noticed that the ecg 2353 and the nte 2353 It is a risky proposition using "universal" type subs to replace HOTs; you cannot just rely on the usual Volt/Amps/Watts ratings to pick a substitute. Differences in gain, capacitance, and inductance will affect how easily the HOT can be driven, so you just cannot assume that even a higher-rated device will sub for the original in the particular circuit in your unit. A beefier HOT (or one with the same Amp rating but insufficient gain) is usually harder to drive, and will overheat if underdriven by the existing drive circuit, as its saturation voltage will be too high. A device that is overdriven (or has too much gain) is too slow to turn off and will dissipate excess power, while a device that turns off "too fast" just may suffer excessively high inductive voltage spikes. With regard to 2SC4916, that is a Toshiba device, rated 1500 Vcbo, 7 Amp, with an internal damper diode. Union Electronic (800-648-6657) sells 2SC4916 for $5.08, MCM (800-543-4330) for $5.45, B &

QUESTION NO. P98-10: How can I determine who the original chassis manufacturer of a monitor is by using the FCC ID# on the back of a monitor? Locate a link to the FCC data base and use the information on the back of the monitor to confirm source of origination. Database is very easy to use, just have to type in the ID info and it will come up with the material, if stored therein. The first three characters in the FCC# determine the true manufacturer. You can identify them either by going to the FCC site at http//www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/ead/ and downloading the ZIP datafiles of these three-character ID's, or else by using the FCC's online search engine at http//www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/.

"Focus 2" control starts to clear up the problematic area & then the pot reaches its end before it pulls focus in (clearing this section un-focuses the good areas though). Bad focus voltages? Guns? Tube? Check the focus voltage and HV. Focus should be roughly 10 to 15% of anode. If this confirms then you probably have a bad crt. Also confirm proper B+. If it is too low, the beam current, hv and focus will be affected. This problem must be in dynamic focus. Mostly this failure is caused by IC404 on the Main-Deflection board.

Values for R214 and C206 would be appreciated, as well as pointers to any other potentially failed parts, (I have no schematic). R214 is 10 ohm 1/4 watt. C206 is .22 mfd 100 volt. Check for bad yoke.

QUESTION NO. P729-3: I have a CTX Monitor Model CTX 1760 DF. The horizontal size is too wide and cannot be adjusted using the digital control. Even adjusting the horizontal size pot in the main board will not help. Could you help me on this problem? Try to remove dry glue in supply unit, and in main board (right front). This glue goes to resistive when dryed, very common on this model. No adjust on horizontal and pie crust on screen. Resolder connector in supply.

QUESTION NO. P729-4: I am wondering why the damper diode of the IBM G70 monitor keeps shorting. A new diode (BY359F 1500) will bring it back to life, but only for a few minutes. The diode shorts, the power supply stops. Could you tell me what the original diode for cr301 should be? IBM G70 model 6544-403 part number 96G1870 FCC ID AN06544. Diode must be at least 2A 1000V. Any diode less than that will blow.

QUESTION NO. P86-1: I have a 15" FS SVGA Monitor with some troubles. I am having a little trouble figuring out who it is who actually makes it and how to fix it. I have seen many monitors with this same appearance (an example would be the Princetons and KDS monitors). This display says "VIDEAL" on the lower left area and on the rear panel the sticker says ASTRAL MICROELECTRONICS CORP. FCC ID# IJEPV-564D PRODUCT# PV-1564A MODEL# PV-5640 MFG DATE = DECEMBER 1996. I am guessing that the trouble is in the high voltage section but I am probably wrong. When turning it on, the power light comes on and there is a slight static sound (like the HV is coming up) but I can not feel The FCC number is your best indicator. This number will tell you if the chassis is the same as that from another brand name. It also is needed when dealing with brands such as AST, Gateway, or Packard Bell, that market different chasses, from different manufacturers, under the same model number. For example, a PB "1412SL" or "1512SL" can be made by several different manufacturers! This makes trouble-shooting such models, or relying on "Tips Databases" for them, difficult. In your case, the "IJEPV-564D" indicates this chassis came from Essex Monitor Corp., Taiwan, and is the same chassis as the Proview PV-564D. With regard to your problem, first check if the CRT is a Samsung. The Samsung CRT's in these chasses are notorious for going bad. If the CRT is OK, and you are getting HV but no static on the screen, see if the

QUESTION NO. P83-6: I am working on a Philips C2082 Monitor that reports 'HIGH VOLTAGE Fail' on its LCD. I checked flyback and the high voltage and the -200V that it produces come on very briefly after power-up. Then the voltage collapses. Could it be the beam limiter circuit doing its work (not properly)? How can I locate the faulty circuit (components)? Also which brand is the HOT (THD 400) used in it? Check fuse 801 (solder type near flatcable to hv-box). If it blows again, most likely the flyback is defected.

QUESTION NO. P83-4: I have a Packard Bell Model 2020 monitor that has no screen brightness. The control has no effect at all. Pot measures good, picture is there and has contrast, but no brightness. Unit is only 14 months old. Anyone seen this and can help? Check g2 and g1 supply, g1 can be too much negative. Check drive on RGB drive on CRT. If there is a voltage on B+ around 50V then you should change IC I804(UC 3842). Important, there are two IC UC3842 in this kind of monitor. I804 is NOT in a main power supply.

These 14" Daytek monitors seem to come up with this problem quite often. Replace C8062.2uf @ 100v, C8082.2uf @ 100v and C824 @ 160v. These capacitors are located on the primary offrom the land patterns. This is done when the flyback I have repaired several with the flyback connnections pulled away the power supply. mounting screws on the OUTSIDE bottom of the case are tightened. To correctly suck all the flyback pins clear, insert the mounting screws and tighten the flyback to the PCB. Solder all pins and re-assemble as normal. This has happened on the last four Daytek monitors repaired for no HV. the same. If you have one that will not power up at all usually c824 is bad a The Daytek dt14sni and dt14xvb are basically 1uf at 160v. If the power light is red instead of green, check to see if you have about 10kv high voltage. There is a cap 100uf at 200v that may be bad. There are two c812and c815.

QUESTION NO. P728-10: I have an Applevision 1710, family model # M2935 which does not power up when video signal is supplied from Sencore's CM2125, there is no power on LED. Does this monitor need some type of adapter to power up? Sencore makes an adaptor #8 or #8f that will turn the unit on.

QUESTION NO. P717-6: We are looking for a replacement diode for D925 on a Micron 15fgx monitor. The number on the diode is BYM26C PH. Anyone have any ideas? BYM26C is a Philips rectifier, 600 Volt, 2.3 Amp, 45 Amp surge, ultrafast recovery (Trr <30 nsec), with soft-recovery characteristic. The leads are thicker than usual in dia., and manufacturers may install them with long leads, to help radiate heat. If your Philips supplier cannot provide it, the closest US-type rectifier meeting these specs is 1N6628-JANTX, which Arrow Semiconductor lists for $8 each. Or, if you wish to try a cheaper rectifier, HER306 has similar capabilities, but has a

QUESTION NO. P724-7: I have a Gateway ( Sony ) monitor model CPD-17F23 that came in with a shorted horizontal output transistor. I have replaced the transistor and the monitor will try to come on, but I only get about 25 volts on the collector of the HOT. I have checked the other supplies in the monitor and they are all fine. B+ 141 volts, I also have the 75v 45, +5 and switched 12 volt supplies. Has anyone had a similar problem and knows what else is a common failure for There are only a few components between the reg B+, primary of the FBT, and the HOT. Check the B+ @ the primary of the FBT. If good there then the coil in the FBT is probably bad. If low there then problem must be further back towards source. I should suspect the B+ is low to the FBT caused by some defect between it and the power supply.

QUESTION NO. P722-5: I have a NEC monitor with the model number of JC-1402HMA and FCC ID of A3D9MDJC1402HMA. On the power supply board PWE-195, resistors R623 and R632 were burned beyond recognition. I was wondering if anyone could please tell me listings of the original parts for its JC-1402HMA monitor, at NEC maintains a tech support page, with what value they are supposed to be? http//cssweb.nectech.com/Original/ms2/parts.htm. According to that site, R623 is 5.6K, 5%, 1/4W, and R632 is 1.2K, 5%, 1/4W. is a 5.6k 1/4 watt and R632 is a 1.2k 1/4 watt. Notice that they are both sitting on pin 14 of IC602 which might also be R-623 bad stk 7404. Also check diode D610, transitor TR602 and resistor R624 (1 ohm 2 watt). The DC output at C1 will run anywhere from 53 to 98 volts depending on the mode the monitor is running in. The fixed output voltages at K1 and K2 are +85 and +26 volts respectively.

QUESTION NO. P720-6: I have a Dell Model D1726S-HS that all colors have faded, red is real light pink. Focus and brightness looks good. Customer said this has progressed slowly. You should test the tube, preferably with the Sencore beamrite 7000 which checks low level tracking. This test when it fails indicates a "leaky" tube which affects contrast and colors - NO way to fix this problem.

QUESTION NO. P720-9 MONITOR IBM 8515 I have replaced a fbt TLF71004D in the 8515-002 model and it worked correctly. The same fbt on the 8515-022 and 8515-222 models do not work correctly. Apparently the boards are the same, without difference. I have tested more fbt and different models but without results!! The fbt is not original, is a copy but works correctly on the 002 model !! Both the model install a tlf71004d fbt. You should test the tube, preferably with the Sencore beamrite 7000 which checks low level tracking. This test when it fails indicates a "leaky" tube which affects contrast and colors - NO way to fix this problem.

I have checked the Pot, its ok, I have followed the traces over to one of the two large I.C.s and suspect the problem is with one of the I.C.s CRT checks fine on Sencore CRT tester. Has anyone corrected this type of problem before? You should test the tube, preferably with the Sencore beamrite 7000 which checks low level tracking. This test when it fails indicates a "leaky" tube which affects contrast and colors - NO way to fix this problem.

QUESTION NO. P630-7: I have two ACER 17" 7176i monitors, on one there is no GREEN, so the monitor looks pink, and on the other there is no RED, so the monitor looks Blue. I have checked the output transistors, and the reistors and caps in each color circuit, but have not been able to solve the problem. Any suggestions? If I am correct, this monitor has a microprocessor that controls the presets of RGB gain. On the processor board, there is a LM-324 in SMD that could cause this failure. The blue level is adjusted at lowest in case of a defect opamp.

QUESTION NO. P720-1: I have a CTX CMS 1561LR which was dead. I replaced the 2SK955 and the ZD101 (1watt) and the HOT. I checked R113 and found it to be alright. Also WHERE is ZD102? I had replaced ZD101 with 5.1V zener. Unit would not come up. I then read the reply to "What is ZD101" and installed 18V,1W zener for ZD101, now the unit "cycles" the relay (green led blinking away madly) at 2hz. Did I damage anything by installing the 5.1V zener, or where else shall I You say you replaced 2SK955. If the FET had shorted, it might also have damaged the 3842 PWM IC. And check resistor R114 = 0.39ohm for value. ZD102 should be on the same daughterboard where you found R113; check values of the resistors and the diodes on this board as well. Bad solder on this daughterboard, especially cracks on the pin connectors to the main board (or on the main board side) can also cause these problems, and need resoldering. Of course, there might be a Replace the .39 ohm resistor. I had a similar problem that fixed the flashing LED.

QUESTION NO. P610-1: I am trying to find two Philips caps for an Apple monitor. The cap values are 11nf @2000VDC, and 5n6@2000VDC. I've tried Newark and other parts houses with no luck. Any suggestions? I can't give you a precise answer, because the information you posted was so scanty. Philips makes SEVERAL lines of caps with 5.6 and 11 nF values at a 2KV rating, both ceramic disk and film types, all of which are intended for various monitor functions. You didn't post the Apple Model number, or cap location numbers, so no help there. But it is my guess that you are looking at two rather large radial box film caps. If so, these are polypropylene film caps, NOT polyester, and are snubbers specially constructed to handle fast dV/dT pulses. You will NOT be able to sub these with polyester or ceramic disk types, they would dissipate too much power, and melt or self-destruct. There may already be a Philips type number on the cap, something like KP/MMKP376 or MKP378. Or if this has faded, or was blacked out by the manufacturer, note the exact dimensions and style of the cap.

QUESTION NO. P630-8: I have an NEC monitor, ModeJC1575VMA, when powered on the HV is ok, I have a green LED and normal raster when the screen control is turned up. The problem is a "NO VIDEO" symptom. Normal video signals enter the LM2405 I.C. on the video P.C.B but no signal is present on the CRT cathode pins. LM2405 is a triple CRT driver for R,G, B. I take your comments to mean that there are three video inputs (not blanked) going in to pins 8,9,11, but none are coming out (at pins 5,3,1). This IC is open-loop and fixed-gain, with independent amp circuits for the R,G,B signals. So, if NONE of these signals are coming through, either the IC is bad, or one of its two supplies is down. First, check that you are getting Vcc at pin#6 and Vbias at pin#10; these should be at the very least +60V and +8V, respectively, relative to ground (pins 2,4,7). More typical operating voltages are +80V and +12V, respectively. If either supply is below the minimums, check if there is an internal short in the IC at either of those two pins, if the bypass caps

QUESTION NO. P630-10: I have a Sony CPD-1320 monitor in the shop which the customer complains that it works fine in DOS, but won't sync in Windows. I don't have that problem on my computer.

I've changed every IC on the main board and checked all caps. Any suggestions? You have been beating a dead horse. The Sony CPD-1320 monitor was designed with a maximum resolution of only 640 by 480, 60 Hz. This is probably your customer's problem too.

QUESTION NO. P618-1: I was working on a Gateway 1776Le 17 inch with no video. Replaced R177,C120,C123 andHOT with an ECG 2354. R181 and Q116 checked O.K. Monitor came up and worked beautifully for about 45 minutes then the screen started closing in horizontally until it went out. HOT is shorted again and the monitor just clicks now. Did I use the wrong HOT or really hot before blowingkilling it? Did the fbt get could something else be the transistor, then the fbt is probably bad, or you have a severe overload in the derived supplies. Otherwise check the regulated B+ to make sure it is not to high, running on a variac at reduced voltage may help diagnose.

Those parts which you mentioned have a nasty property: if one of them goes bad, that can then take out any of the others. But one more common-failure part that you didn't mention needs to be added to that list: L105, a somewhat tall, 4.5 mH loading coil connecting to the B+ input of the flyback. Usually when the HOT shorts, L105 gets cooked, and the bad L105 can then do in new HOTs, etc. Replace it if it looks slightly discolored or bubbled, or rings badly, or even on general principle. L105 is Mag Innovision (800-827-3998) part# T*I-281-103-UO, and suppliers like LJ Enterprises, MI Tech, CCS, et al., may carry this coil too, roughly $12. And then go back and test all those other parts once more, since you've had yet another

QUESTION NO. P61-6: I have a Dell D1528LS with no raster, HV is 26Kv, Heater is 6.3, but G1 is about 20V more negative than it should be after doing comparison to a working unit. It appears that the processor could be holding the tube cutoff. If this Dell 1528LS is a Lite-On unit, with the Zilog Z0861404PSC processor, that IC is known to give problems, and shutdown to black is one possible symptom. Sometimes freezespray or heating can reveal this IC as a culprit. These IC's have a number stamped on the chip ("Zilog xxxx") indicating the programmed version. So a replacement Zilog (~$20) must be compatible with that version, or you won't have access to control functions like pincushion adjust, or won't sync, etc. Try LJ

QUESTION NO. P527-4: I have a nec multi sync model jc 1531vma<4fg> bad side pincushion. The adjustment does not work. Has anybody come across this problem? The common problem that causes this symptom is that C561 = 470uF on the main board can leak electrolyte, damaging traces on the PC board. Remove the cap and check underneath: if this cap leaked, you'll need to clean the board well, check all nearby traces carefully for damage, and to jumper any damaged traces. Even with no loss of continuity, leakage onto the trace from the wiper arm of pot VR403 to pin# 8 of board# PWE317E can actively cause problems, so you may need to actually CUT that trace at both ends, and jumper between the cuts. Note, the leaky cap may actually test good, but replace it anyway with a 50V cap. Cap C557 can also get leaky and should get checked, too. A bit of conformal coating or lacquer on the PC board after cleaning well can be a future safeguard. Secondarily to this problem, if it still will not adjust, and you're

All give the same symptoms, that is a message on the LCD "HIGH VOLTAGE FAILURE". Apparently the "EHT GENERATOR" a very expensive and hard to get tin box containing a FBT and a few other components will fix the problem. I do not believe that the actual FBT is faulty, as in some My experience with these models wasn't the flyback causing the problem, but the voltage multiplier/focus divider. This is usually noticed by a flickering screen, intermittent focus problems and intermittent video. These units are made by Philips for Compaq (Qvision 200) and other companies. The flyback is easy to order from CCS, but I have had a difficult time trying to get the multiplier/focus module.

QUESTION NO. P56-4: I am repairing an ADI monitor model SM-5514B. The horizontal drive transistor gets its drive from LA7851. But there is no voltage on its collector. Therefore the monitor is dead apart from PSU. Tracing the print brought me to two devices which appear to supply/control power to hor.drive transistor. They look like small signal transistors, but I have no idea what they are. They do not measure like transistors at all. Reference numbers are Q806 and Q807. Q806 is marked as NIA4M/K327C Q807 is AIA4M/K325C. If anyone knows what they are or has a circuit diagram to suggest how Q806 and Q807 are NEC digital switching transistors (AA1A4M = NPN, and AN1A4M = PNP), and will not test out like typical transistors. Before replacing them, first check for the "sync for power" output signal from that little CPU-type board, which goes to Q806, Q807 to switch the B+ for the HOT. If that signal is not there, you are in shutdown, and your problem is with this CPU board. But occasionally those digital transistors do go bad. The following data should allow you to check out these transistors. Both transistors are 50 Vceo, 0.1 Amp, 0.25 Watt, pinout ECB, and have two internal 10K resistors that form a voltage divider network. One resistor goes from the base pin to the base of the transistor, and the other from the base to the emitter pin. This voltage divider on the base increases the voltage needed for driving the transistors, and also creates a

That device is a digital switch, ECG 2355. Your problem is not likely with those, the drive signal comes from the CPU board. The CPU is frequently the defective component.

QUESTION NO. P428-8: I have a MAC 21 inch monitor with Horz problems. I have replaced the transistor V104 and resistors R113 and R109. The monitor "fired up" for a second and then blew the parts out again. I do not know where to locate: (a) a schematic for the M3502 family (b) special chassis parts Can anyone suggest a cure or source of info for the monitor? Besides the components you mentioned having replaced, you probably need to replace snubber caps C106 (0.0056 uF/ 2 KV) and C108 (0.011 uF/ 2 KV), connected across V104. These are typically Philips caps, and are usually bad in your situation, especially C108. It is also a good idea to check C121 (10uF/63V), C124 (10uF/63V), and C138 (33uF/16V).

QUESTION NO. P48-7: CTX CMS-1461 monitor with a problem. The screen is shifted horizontally and cannot be adjusted to correct position. By shifted Horizontally, I mean that it starts in the center of the CRT and wraps around to finish the image so that the right half of the image is on the left half of the screen and vice-versa. The monitor would not work at all initially. This problem was traced to bad solder joints from a previous ?repair? or attempt to repair. I have since replaced the LA7851, several capacitors and diodes to no effect.

It seems to be caused by the I had a similar problem and green LEDs flash resoldering the fixture holding the monitor to the base rubbing against the main board damaging/scratching the joints/print. Apparently this problem is a known design fault. The above answer led me to the problem source and gave me ideas for correction. I was a bit hesitant to just start resoldering the fine traces on the back of the circuit board, so I did the following and it worked for my monitor: STEP 1 - Using a pencil eraser burnish the traces that have been damaged by the center support piece of the plastic cabinet bottom. You will be able to follow the location of this brace on the circuit board fairly easily. Some of the traces appear to have been spread and scraped, exposing the bare metal and leaving very small metalic "lint" between the traces, which could cause shorting. Once this "lint" is clean up and blown away inspect for any broken traces and resolder. I did not have any broken traces. STEP 2 Using foam sheets make additional supports at various places around the board. These supports are to keep the board and

QUESTION NO. P325-6: Sceptre monitor, model #H566, PN:P51, which will not sync on 640x350 or 640x480. On these modes I get squashed video at the top 1/4 of the screen which resembles a video IC problem. All other modes work fine. I suspect the TDA9103 IC but I would like a second opinion. Sceptre units often have problems related to bad TDA9103 IC's. One symptom these IC's cause is loss of sync, esp. in the lower modes; another is pincushion. Usually, the IC's are worse when hot, so see if freeze spraying the IC makes a difference. Also, if the AGC memory cap off pin# 25 of TDA9103 is even slightly leaky (0.1 uA), AGC function is not reliable. The AGC re-establishes vert. amplitude after freq. shifts, so you may wish to check that cap (typ. 0.47 uF) for leakiness with a

QUESTION NO. P330-8: Dell Mdl D1727S-HS SVGA monitor, horizontal problem. FCC ID: A3LCMH737. High voltage comes up but not measured. The image on the screenis only 2" wide from top of the screen to the bottom. The video is all there inside this two inches, ie; you can read some of the characters. The sides of the image are straight not pinned. The dc power supply voltages were checked and are ok. The vertical shift and size seem to change in the image but the horizontal shift and size doesn't change anything. IC201 (uproc) has horz sync going in and out, also the horz size output from the chip is changing the duty cycle. Horz sync is then fed into a sync processor IC401 a TDA9103. When changing the horz shift or size, nothing changes on the horz sync out pin. The output is a 50% duty cycle square wave that doesn't change at all with I had a problem on a 17inch identical to yours. I found that the hot was breaking down. When I pulled the old hot out and compared it to a new one it was very obvious using a curve tracer. I hope that helps. If I read you correctly, the horiz. output of the TDA9103 (pin 20 or 21) is pinned at its maximal duty cycle (50%) regardless of input. This duty cycle level is controlled by a DC voltage to pin# 2 of the TDA9103. That voltage must lie between 2 and 6 VDC (assuming pin# 5 = 8 VDC) to be legal; 2V gives minimal duty cycle, while 6V gives maximum (50%). Try monitoring the input to pin# 2 and seeing if it is within legal limits, and if this DC control voltage can be varied between

QUESTION NO. P323-5: I have been getting a few monitors in the shop that have problems when changing modes though. I have bought books, tapes and software on monitor repair. Still no solutions. Since this seems to be generic to all makes there must be some tips someone can give me in troubleshooting these sets. The symptoms typically are as follows: VGA mode will sync and will be of the correct size. 800/600 will/will not sync, or is off center and squeezed in a little horizontally. 1024/768area where you're looking, the line sync. In the case of vga the lineMost printed oscillator and tapes on One thing I find in the will/will not, sync or may/may not be centered or sized correctly. (horizontal) materials runs at a different frequency than in svga (higher). Think of monitors like tv's with the rf and if ripped out. They are a world wide standard which is useful. Your fault sounds like it may be in the sync or osc. timing circuit. I cannot help anymore than that, but I know it fooled me when I first saw it. Think of it like a dual standard tv. Ie 625 / 525 lines. You may not be aware that all vga monitors will sync in on your basic 640x480 but not all are created equal. A lot of monitors are nothing more than basic vga,not supervga. A good indicator is if you see adjustment controls inside that give you individual controls on different freq ie..vheight and hpos.that allows you to adjust all your screens to be centerd when switching from one mode to the other. A lot of times you will find that you can get pictures on some monitors that are not

I have seen monitors with the Weltrend Chips having thermal problems. This seems to be a pretty common problem with Weltrend WT80XX chips, especially in monitors that have those chips mounted up under the CRT. With these chips mounted there it is hard to get a sufficient amount of air flow to cool them and sooner or later they seem to break down and become thermal time-outs for sync. The SuperCom is just such a monitor, and the AOC is a close follower. There are Recently I bought some monitors just to have as loaners. Among these was a SuperCom ST1496 (popular with this problem). I decided that Weltrend should be putting heatsinks on these chips and wanted to see the effect a heatsink would have. I cut a piece of 22ga aluminum into a rectangle approximally 1.5" X 2.375", cut fins into it on both sides, (on the side close to the CRT these were shorter than the ones on the side toward the back of the board), and used small needle-nose pliars to twist the fins to a 45 degree angle. The center of the heatsink I left wide enough to just fit on the surface of the chip, making sure I have left the monitor on for as much as two and one half days solid with no loss of sync, even after this chip had already been weakened by the heat and was loosing it's sync after about an hour. I would have either installed a new chip or attempted this repair only after discussing it with the owner had this not been mymonitor, but I was curious and had nothing I might even try mounting a heatsink using this technique on a new chip sometime. JBWeld to those who haven't used it is an epoxy base filled with steelpowder. Maybe they make an aluminum filled epoxy (more conductive).

B+ is ripple free too.Also nothing seems to be peculiar at CRT pins, either G1 or G2 or color cathodes.Any ideas? The problem you are describing sounds like high voltage regulation problems. The easiest way to tell is by changing from a black raster to a white raster. If the size changes quite noticeably or jumps alot then you have a regulation problem. The first thing to do is check your high voltage while changing the raster from black to white. If the HV varies by a large margin, then you have a flyback problem. If it doesn't, check the voltage at the collector of the HOT while varying the raster again. If the
