Pincushion Problem In CRT TV
By Jestine Yong on August 21, 2013
I have a problem with the above TV it is a Pincushion Problem Everything in the Tv works fine except that it has a pincushion problem on the two sides of the screen, I check the modulation..not shorted and I changed the Pincushion Transistor on the Heatsink and still no change, I am getting 40vdc on the collector pin of the transistor and negligible or non on the other two, can you advised.
Answer:
Try adjust the horizontal size/pincushion setting if have and at the same time see if the base signal of the pincushion transistor change or not. If not changing then probably either there are components already bad or the EEprom ic data have corrupted. Sometimes it can be caused by a defective E/W correction IC.

Sir, Jestine from your Permission I do sujjest to check following things in order to repair CRT Pin Cusion problem.
First of all, there are two type of CRTs Available in market Now a Days. Analogue / Semi Digital and Digital.
In Semi Digital Pin Cusion problem adjust by VRs except other components. But
in Digital Pin Cusion mostly adjust by menu setup options and Circuit devices.
therefore you can below things step wise :
1. CRT yoke adjustment carbon VRs controls
2. Section Variables VRs adjustment
3. low valued Caps in section
4. driver transistors Or IC controller in Section.
5. main power Supply for output Voltages
thanks you

In my experience with CRT computer monitors, pincushion was most often caused by a low value cap with high ESR. Often the bad cap was located right alongside the FBT. Sometimes the case would be discolored.

Hi Lawrence,
Yes it can be caused by the cap in the horizontal size section.

Hi Malik,
Did you replace with original L507 coil? How do you check that L507 is short circuit.

I have a TV with a spinned image, by that I mean that it's not fully horizontal so that the left part of the screen is a bit higher than the right part of the screen, the problem isn't very big but it's annoying, any idea of what the problem could be? The TV has no adjust potentiometers (or presets).

Hi Petes,
Do you mean the display tilted one side? If yes then possible the CRT Yoke already loosen and you need to unscrew the yoke and to a manual adjustment.

Hi Rodskies,
There are few causes such as low B+ voltage, shorted modulation diode, shorted pincushion transistor, no signal to pincushion transistor. Without hands on assessment, I would not know what is the exact fault.

Picture width problem in CRT TV. Its a china tv kit LA76810. No effect in picture by adjusting pincushion variable. No effect from factory setting. What could be the problem. Please guide
