Kortek missing blue [RESOLVED]

Post by antron »

My tri-res Kortek KT-2914F drops the color blue after being on for about a minute.

I'm assuming a transistor is going out on the neck board and plan to replace it (maybe all of them).

I just wanted to check if others thought this was likely the problem.

Thanks

This is the same problem which happened to my planet harriers monitor Friday night. Its a D9200, but yes, the transistor on the neckboard is probably the cause for my color loss. Not sure if Kortek is prone to the same kind of transistor failure.

OK, each color has these transistors in the R-CUTT/R-GAIN circuit

KSP44TA x2
KSP92 x2
KSP2222A x1
KSC3503 x1

The first three seem to be general purpose, the last a CRT video amp. Should I start with it?

user grantspain suggests the changing video amp/driver first.

final edit:
grantspain was right, the main CRT driver, KSC3503, was the only problem.
