Dear Sir Iam an electronc Repairerihave a television that is spiting the high voltagae at the side of the flyback cap i tried another tube but the same thing is happening i suspect that the high voltage is to high what is the cause of that.Please assist.thank you.

Hi Henry,
Are you referring to arcing? If yes then the flyback have problem.

where is the B+ locacted on the main board?. how can i tell this is the B+ circuit?. Please advice.

HI MASESE,
For monitor, you will see a B+ fet, B+ coil and a diode and capacitor but for tv you could only trace the line from smps output to one of the pin in the flyback transformer. This voltage is usually 110 vdc.

good evening,sir.i have a SAMSUNG TV with a defect of no picture but power LED is on.i also observed arcing at g2 terminal located at neck board causing its picture to distort until it's gone.horizontal transistor is okay when i checked it.what could be the culprit?
admin

HI Ali,
G2 arcing could be due to bad tube and the anode voltage is too high. Make sure the B+ voltage is within the spec.

HI Chandrasekar,
It can be the monitor CPU or the eeprom ic have problem. Make sure also the vga cale internal wire especially the vertical and horizontal is not broken.

How to take the voltages on television and what voltages should you have on power supply,second power supply and other stages, where to get the tv manuals?
admin
September 21, 2011 at 9:42 am
HI James,
I suggest that you get a book on TV repair (like the one from amazon.com by Homer L Davidson "Troubleshooting and repairing solid state TVs) because it has full explanation about voltages on various circuit. As for tv manuals you can click on this link below:

hello dear justin haw are u? I am writing u this from ethiopia, i have this panasonic tv .it works fine for 20-30 minutes and then on the screen it flashes frequently.

HI Endalemaw,
When it flashes, does all the voltages at the CRT remain stable or fluctuates?

I would be glad if you could set up a club for tv repairers so that we can share our problems and get help from participating members. So far I do not come across such a club in Malaysia.
Thank you.

Hi Ahmad,
Thanks for the suggestion. In order to set up this kind of club needs lot of time and resources and i guess at this current moment I'm not ready for it.

HI Ivan,
If you use a demagnetizer and still can't remove the color purity problem then the pc tube already have problem

Good day.
I have a Logic 80cm tv. It was working fine this morning but when I turned it on this evening, NO POWER. What could be the problem?
Thank you.
Jestine Yong

HI Annemarie,
It can be loosen ac power cord, blown fuse, shorted components and many other factors. If the fuse and the ac cord all check to be good then you may need to perform the voltage test on the power supply. Make sure the smps output have output voltages if no then check all the components in the primary side.

Hi Sir
Hi I've problem comes from anode cap its noise and smell ozone then the display of picture is horizontaly dis-aline, what was the problem of my CRT-TV?
Thank you....
Jestine Yong
September 10, 2012 at 8:22 pm
Hi Gerson,
Check the supply voltage to the vertical output ic first. Make sure no dry joints. If all tested good then directly replace the vertical output ic. As for the ozone smell amke sure the anode cap area is clean.

Am a tech frm kenya i have a two sets of LG flat ron tv
1.no display on screen signal sound is their,shooting 110 in flyback ok,180v on tube base hearter are not on,whats the problem sir.
2.display on screen very distorted &shows light @ top left other parts of screen dark
Jestine Yong
March 28, 2016 at 5:05 pm
HI Samuel,
If the tube base is not On this means the flyback is not energized. Have you checked if the base of HOT have any pulse waveform?
Second case you need to send the photos to my email.
