Im in the process of replacing the convergence IC on this set I have new IC in place but before I installed it I lossened two spring loaded screw to try and gain more access to the IC unfortunately some coolant less than half ounce leaked out. I've retorqued the screws and am in the process of cleaning the coolant, how do I replace the lost coolant and check the level is there a fill hole? Where can I purchase the new coolant?
COOLANT !!! Man what are you doing ? DO NOT Unscrew those Bolts they Hold the CRT Tubes to the Base Pull back or Remove The Board to replace the STK'S MAKE VERY sure YOU have Cleaned UP all the Coolant before you power the set back up or it can short thing out If only a very small amount came out you Probably OK and want have to add any back .
Yeah well I figured out I was doing something wrong when the coolant started to leak. It just leaked straight onto the floor im not worried about anything being shorted out as nothing electrical got wet. but do you know if there is any way I can check the level or about how much coolant goes into this piece?? Like I said about a half ounce leaked out as soon as I noticed the coolant I retorqued the screws.
Help, Im ready to get this project over with. Whether it works or not. I've already got the new IC in place I just want to make there is not going to be a problem with the coolant level
