RCA CTC 179CM

[shady]

I have an RCA 35" console model #G35831AT with chassie CTC 179CM.
After replacing the flyback transformer the tv has sound and OSD but
no picture. I understand that this can often be caused by bad solder
conections. Any idea where I should look for these? Also, could this
problem be caused by one the the solder points with the new flyback.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jon

Did you turn up the screen control on the Flyback ?
Check and make sure you did,nt loose a jumper pin
which is required on some of those Flyback base
connections.
Was the Fly the real thing or Generic ?

The flyback was an RCA part. I don't see anything on the flyback that

is potentially adjustable; just the 2 wires and the pins that we
soldered onto the board. Are there adjustments elsewhere? (

Should be Focus and screen on the Flyback.

I don't think that model has one on the fly Kip, it's like the 169 where the
G2 and F are on a sub control board near the fly. The 179\189 is a pain in the
ass to work on.

If there is OSD, the G2 adjustment is close enough. The only way from here is
to start scoping the composite from the jungle through the comb, A\V, PIP, etc.

Yea I do so many it does not register
in my brain as to which ones have pots
or not.Just done 3 ctc195,s with pots.
I thought if it was the screen that it was
just on the edge of needing adjustment.
What the guy should do is check out
his own soldering and also check
and make sure he has,nt disturbed
something .
Back to this ctc169 (1992) ...int sound.

Good Luck
