CRT TV Electronics Repair Fix Wanted - Retrace Lines problem

Post by electrosphere »

I took my old Sony 14" Trinitron CRT TV out of the loft after years... and was dismayed to find the screen turn blue with sloping horizontal lines.

It was my first gaming TV bought with hard-earned paper round money.

From reading this http://www.electronicsrepairmadeasy.com ... n-crt.html

...I think these are "retrace lines" and the issue can be caused by something like:

* Blanking Circuit
* G2(screen) voltage set too high
* RGB Supply too low

It might be capacitors re-soldering or replacement but I do not have the tools to do that work.

Does anyone know anyone in the Southampton area that could help?

My cat and I would love this to be working again :)

Thanks!

Remove the rear cover and turn down the G2 pot (on the neck board) a little until the retrace lines disappear.
