I purchased this tv in 2004, it just quit working I am also getting 6 blinks. I had a tech come out and tell me the transformer is bad, he charged me 125.00 to come out and diagnose the problem. I was looking around and the part is only 70.00 is this something i can do myself. What all is involved or can anyone email me the manual to replace this part. I have a tester and would also like to know based on the other post should I also replace the HVB as well.
I would call PTS 1-800-844-7871 or vancebaldwin 1-800-432-8542 or tritronics 1-800-365-8030 and for just a few more $ You can get a Complete Rebuilt D Board Part number is A1302180A
PS: you will need Q8043 ($28.11) to with that transformer so you have $70 + $28 +$8-10 shipping cost Best to get a rebuilt board from PTS or send them your board to have them rebuild it for you
DO you have a Multimeter and know how to use it ?
I have a friend who upgrades telecommunications equipment and he has the tester and said he can test the board for me. I know basically from what the tech said what needs to be replaced however not exactly sure where it is I know what board it is on so my friend said he could find it. If you think I can just purchase a new board and take out the old one and replace I would prefer to do that sounds like less workl, let me know what you think. Thank you in advance.
I called PTS and they said 74.50 to rebuild the board. I just wanted to make sure that is correct as you said it would cost a little more.
$74.50 thats a great price You did tell them D Board Correct I would for sure send them the board
I called them back and they said that is for a rebuild I am going to send it to them, hopefully that will do it. I will let you know. Thx
Befoe I extract the board are there any components that I need to be aware of that I should not touch while removing the board, ie names of other boards. I have printed out the diagrams from the manual and it seems pretty easy its only 3 screws on the board itself, I just don't want to damage anything else while I'm in their.
I have the board almost out, there are two red wires hooked to a part that looks like a distributor and i can't figure out how to disconnect them any suggestions.
got it out noticed the tech had pulled 3 wired of they are brown and green i can see where they go but don't know what order do you know what these wires are and where they go and if not where do i look in the manual to find out? Thx you've been a lot of help
look on the schematic at the high voltage distribuion block and see wherer they belong.
I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with my repair. While I am not usually very mechanically inclined I decided to try this repair anyway. I did ship the board to PTS and they rebuilt it for about 86.00, I installed it and the T.V. works great. I saved about 300.00, again just wanted to say thank you and I have recommended several people to this website.
