PVM-2030 Pinamp rheostat doesn't do anything

Post by Derf »

I have a PVM-2030 where the pinamp rheostat (RV552) is not changing the image on screen. Measuring the rheostat with a multimeter, I can observe the value changes properly (e.g. from 5.5kohm to 16kohm). The whole deflection (D) board has been recapped and I've reflowed all the nearby joints in either direction from the rheostat and made sure resistors have continuity.

I am using a SNES hooked up via RGB.

Closest service manual online is the PVM-2130, which is slightly different.

Any ideas?
