Sounds to me like basic power supply B+ regulation has failed..... bad
regulator chip, high esr electrolytics, shorted diodes, etc...... a common
high failure part is the STK regulator but the other parts of the circuit
must be tested. Put a meter on the regulated B+ rail and then vary the AC
input voltage with a variac +/- 10 volts to see if the B+ holds steady.
If the problem is not there, then look for faulty screen filtering caps ....
usually low up/high voltage units near and around the flyback...... i.e.
22@250, etc.

I am currently working on an RCA 27" model F27634ET, chassis CTC187BJ.
The original problem was the set would squeal when plugged in and
wouldn't power on. Q401 was shorted B-E, I don't have a BUH517 on
hand so I subbed with a BU2520DF. C4709 was also replaced and I
resoldered the flyback, STK regulator, H-Out transformer and pretty
much most of the deflection/PS section of the board. The set now runs
and the HOT is warm to the touch but well below maximum temperature.
However the picutre changes size dramatically with any change in
brightness. If I turn the brightness down low the picture will shrink
down by about 20% on all sides and there is some pincushion
distortion. I suspected it may be the usual tuner solder problem but
if i bring up a static picture and firmly tap the tuner the picture
doesn't flinch. Pincushion problems are usually related to Q851,
D851, C4803, C4402, C4403, CR4402, C4407 and CR4403 but here they all
test OK. I suspect it may be the STK regulator module failing but I
want to be sure before replacing it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

The board connections strongly suggest a single power mosfet.

The inverted triangle is an indication of Vishay-Siliconix as a mfr.

The part number Si4425 is a P-channel mosfet with integrated schottky
diode, likely used in pc bus switches or converters.

http://www.vishay.com/doc?71662

This is not a rebranded part. Nobody is trying to give you a hard
time.

Repairing a zapped mother board is something even the OEM mfr would
shy away from - mainly because the possibility of undetected corolary
damage is so high, and the material cost of the motherboard is
relatively low, if a replacement has been inventoried to cover
expected warranty returns.

If an untrained technician has been into it, problems of repair
integrity just get worse.

I did check the supply and it is a good clean 65Volts. All the connections
also look great. Especially for a 25 year old amp. I will look some more

left.
I

one......thanks

If it plays normally otherwise, I'd bet it's a bias problem. The carbon
trimmers they use to set bias are pure garbage, and they'll drift just
looking
at them. There might be two adjustments per channel on this model.
Flush
them
out with a quality cleaner, and see if they set up normally. If so,
replace
the pure garbage pots with mere crappy ones (one grade up ;) and re
adjust
the
bias.

I should have asked in my original post what the path is of the signal flow
through this board. At CNS704, only one of the pins has signal and the signal
that is there has some dc offset. There is good signal at test points SL and SR
on the dsp board. I have a schematic on order but in the mean time I was
wondering what type of signals should be present on the input connector to the
rear channel amp board and how they flow through IC701.

Thanks for your reply.

We've had dishnetwork for over a year now and as long as we keep the
dish aligned we get a far superior picture to that of digital cable.
While I was on Cox cable it was crap most of the time with pixelation
most of the time and screen lock a constant problem.
Not to mention that they'd down the network for mantaintence around 3
in the morning and no go back online till after 5.
You're poor reception could be a regional problem or a bad dish or
box.
As to the actual signal compression you're getting the same whether
you use analog or digital feed. In fact the analog is pulled of the
digital and converted. The image tends to be softer and easier on the
eye. We've spent most of our viewing life watching analog signal that
that's what we're used to.
It takes a bit of getting used to watching digital, and true if the
signal is weak, poor or corrupted it annoying.
All in all though I prefer it.
I get such a kick out of Dish Network and DirecTV always spouting off about
the "100% Digital Picture!" they offer and how it's superior to cable.

Oh please...

It's MPEG video compression. It's lousy most of the time for reasons just
as you described. "Pixelation" is ALWAYS easily spotted when watching
almost any channel, whether or not there is fast action, on my 52" RPTV.
You can still see it on my 27" CRT based set if you look closely, but it's
extremely prominent on the big screen. Watching a car race via DSS
irritates the heck out of me!!

Makes me so glad to still have my old 10' Unimesh dish and "ancient" Tracker
8+ C-band receiver! Sure, I put up with a few sparklies, but when the dish
is tuned properly, I think the signal is FAR superior to that 100% digital
picture from my DishNet receiver.

I guess I'm just picky and want/expect a PERFECT picture in all aspects.

Yes, save that analogue test gear. Much like digital TV, us Neanderthals
are here to stay. I've seen every manner of DVD, digital cable, DSS,
DirecTV etc. at friends' and acquaintances' houses. And while they coo
over the stunningly superior digital quality (just as the salesman told
'em :), I come to the *shocking* conclusion that they've just traded
one kind of video artifact for another. The slight film-grain appearance
of VHS and white flecks/stripes of scratched analogue laserdisc (and
munched VHSes) is gone, but replaced by that distilled fuzz around the
transitions of any high-contrast image. The blocky, mottled shadows on
the villian's face that pop in and out of existance. The satellite feed
that shatters into a thousand pieces of colorful screen-vomit everytime
the camera pans too fast. I have to wonder sometimes what the big
attraction is.

[snip]

I'm having a hard time with that. Granted the laser inside the DVD
player is harmful but unless you looked directly at the laster, you
won't be harmed by a cracked case. I've had the case off of my DVD
player for a few days when I was trying to get the spindle working and
I'm doing fine.

There is no way the radiation from the player can killthe whole family.

Being a physics teacher, let me explain something.

A laser can go through the smallest hole, and if the disk is rotating
inside, the laser beams can be reflected at millions of different
angles, and many thousand times per second. Thus the laser beams
could spew out of that crack like bullets coming out of a machine gun.
Anyone in the path of these beams are instantly history. So, yes it
can kill a whole family and even a whole stadium full of people in
seconds. Lasers are dangerous and if one gets out of control, like
apparently this one did, there is no telling who or what will be
killed or destroyed.
What a load of crap!
I've worked with military grade lasers, ones that CAN really kill you.
There is no way the laser in a dvd player can emit enough energy to
kill anyone directly.
And as far as the radiation goes you'd have to practically stick it in
your eye to get enough to do any harm.
We have this thing called the Underwriters Labaratory that tests all
household appliances.
I doubt that they'd approve any houshold device that could emit even a
near lethal dose of rads without adequate shileding.
You're more likely to get cancer from your microwave.

From the Livewire Newsfeed

August 4, 2003

A New Mexico family was killed by a DVD player last Friday.
Authorities reported that it appeared that the DVD player had just
been purchased. Apparently an accident caused the player to fall off
the television set in their living room. It is suspected that the
family cat possibly knocked it down. The plastic case of the DVD
player became cracked during the fall to the floor, emitting the fatal
radiation which killed the entire family of seven.

Authorities were notified on Saturday when a relative came to visit
and found the family car in the driveway and no one would answer the
door. When the police arrived they used forced entry and were shocked
at what they found. There were dead bodies laying all over the living
room floor, including the husband, wife and five children. None of
them showed any signs of physical abuse, and all other possibile
causes of death have been ruled out. Authorities are positive the
deaths were caused by the DVD player.

Additionally, the first officer to enter the premises was struck down
and affected by the harmful radiation, and is hospitalized in critical
condition. The electric company was summoned and disconnected the
power to the premises before further action could be taken.

A cat was found laying right next to the fatal DVD player, which leads
to the suspicion that the cat was the cause of the player falling off
of the television.

Names of the family members are being withheld until further
investigation and notification of relatives of the deceased.
Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly.


Well, he's done it again. A spoof post so obviously intended as a joke has
sucked in supposedly intelligent technically minded folks into thinking it's
a genuine case, and yet again we get a flood of ill-tempered technical
rebuttals. Jeez, my 10 year old daughter read it and realised straight away
it was a laugh, nothing more. What the heck is wrong with you people?

There's obviously a need for some of you to get out more, relax and smile
once in a while, if you don't find this guys posts amusing, fine. However
responding in a serious manner just makes you look like nerdy idiots.
