 Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 8:19 pm Post subject: Intermittient problem with TV |
 |
|
I have a 27" crt Panasonic TV.
Sometimes the picture goes out, the screen goes black. The sound is still
there. A few minutes later it might come back.
Sometimes if you tap on the side or top of the tv the picture comes back.
This has been happening for a few months and has seem to happen more often.
I am thinking it is a cold solder joint and I was thinking of removing the
back of the tv and resoldering some of the connections.
I know about discharging the crt to avoid shock hazard.
What are of the tv circuitry should I focus on re soldering? The area that
has the caps for the Horizontal Output Transformer? The video area? The
small pc board on the back of the crt?
Any ideas would help. I have a feeling that it is a cold solder joint and
not a worn component , but I may be wrong.
Thanks |

Get the cover off, turn the set on, and tap on the set to get the[/quote]
intermittent behavior. Do this in complete darkness. Locate the area
of sparking and then turn your flashlight on to exact the location
of the bad solder/connector joint. |

Look for bad solder joints at the vertical output IC.

If the picture slowly fades away over ten seconds or so, it>s a
intermittent heater connection at the crt base socket.
If it>s sudden, then it>s probably a poorly soldered connection, or a
cracked component.
Then again, it could be most anything. |

Glue a solenoid to the back of it that you can activate by remote
control. Every time it goes blank, hit the solenoid and it will jar it
back on.

Hi
I just took the back off and I think I found the vertical output ic.
Would it be LA7838, the vertical deflection circuit with TV / CRT display
drive IC?
THere are a bunch of caps around it too. Time to turn on the soldering
iron.

Look for solder joints that have visible cracks, especially around
connectors (the CRT tube-base connector for one, and the
wiring connections that go to that circuit board). Look also at the
heavy pins of power semiconductors and capacitors, and
the flyback transformer. Those heavy conductors are
most likely candidates for an insufficient-heat 'cold' solder
joint.
Dark screen can result from filament or screen connections to
the picture tube, or any of the high-voltage parts that generate
the high anode voltage. Intermittent connections are easily probed
with a (for instance) bamboo chopstick if you can open the
set up while it>s operating. |
