Panasonic CT-32SL14 32" TV - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Is this an old CRT set?

be careful, if you don't know what it is then don't play with it more info bellow (and yes you can use your dmm) http://www.electronicrepairguide.com/high-voltage-circuit.html

Contact any service technician or refer its user manual for details. Electro help

Most common are soldering problems on the vertical deflection IC's. If this line is quite bright: shut down the set, it might damage the picture tube permanently. Resolder all pcb connections under the vertical defl. part. With a magnifier you can see "craters" around the footprints. Where is the vert. deflection. ? Mostly an integrated circuit on a vetically mounted heatsink . Typnumber: mostly something TDA53xx like. Gently knocking with a screwdriver and observing the screen might lead you to it's location if you're not familiar with TV's. Watch out: lethal voltages !

Signs of a CRT going old, are bad focussing, unnatural colours and hues of a certain colour (red, green, or blue) if you watch black/white pictures. In colour pictures, black sequences also show hue.

Contact any pediatircian.

Try by adjusting the screen voltage to a little less. Check whether the supply voltage to video output stage is OK or not. Refer its repair manual for voltage details. If you wish to get more details about this fault, check this link. These lines are called 'retrace' lines, and can be of many causes. Details about this fault is described in detail by the link. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Pull up previous posts by its left sidebar, or type in the brand name and model number to of your set, to its search box, and press 'Enter' or view it in Mosaic / Timeslide option.

The click is the manual relay inside the set------you may have a short somewhere (fuse should be good if power relay clicks) or a loss of high voltage.

Check this site named 'Electro-help'. It is very difficult to include all the details here. Check this link, and select the site named above.

This is a special type of fault seen in most models of televisions, irrespective of Brand and model. The flyback transformer side cirucit must be checked for faulty components.

There is no such FBT to Pansonic. Contact the nearest authorised service center for Panaonic at you town for details.

There is no details about this number flyback transformer. Contact the nearest authorised service center for Panasonic.

There is no information about this number flyback transformer over net.

The set has more than one eprom...With the model number AND the location number of the eprom (location number is marked on top and bottom of the board) GOOGLE FOR THIS INFORMATION.

This is fairly straight forward---if it got the fuse, input filter (big cap!) and the fuseable 7 watt-----Understand (I do not know how savy you are) the power supply uses two grounds----on the primary side of the transformer (in power supply) it is from earth ground and on the secondary side from hot ground--when checking voltages= these are the key! you have to be on the correct ground to get correct readings.Follow the money---the primary raw should be on that cap---follow it to see when it stops downstream.220 can pop a lot of things---the set should also have a regulator IC in the power supply (could also be a big transistor) and if a chip--raw from that cap goes into it---and regulated comes out another pin---see if you have the raw and then see if at horizontal output collector and from there to flyback( with set off what is resistance reading from the collector of the output transistor to earth ground?what kind of experience do you have with troubleshooting?

Check the horizontal driver transformer. Measure the frequency at the base of horizontal output transistor. It should be around 15.6 KHz. If there is no frequency measured at this point, horizontal driver transformer, horizontal driver transistor, and horizontal oscillator section should be troubleshooted.

no there may be loose contact or dry solder in circuit board attached to tube..ie video driver section ..resolder
all the solder joints cleanly...&also resolder the long ic ie
chroma ic...u can find where the problem is by gently tapping the main board or video board by a tooth brush
when tv is on. if the color changes by tapping u can get the loose contact..have a nice day

a broken or misalligned purity ring could caused this problem try replacing it with identical replacement and with asimple manipulation adjustment

You might not like this solution but change your resolution on your cable box/satellite tv receiver. If it is on 1080i change it to 720p. But before you do that try the hd zoom# button on your cable remote. On satellite remotes it might be format or aspect. If that button does not change the picture size then change the resolution and then try that button again

If you haven't tried the wide/view mode/picture format picture resizing button on your television's remote or the option within your menu be sure to do that as well.

The television might not be on the right input.The cable box/satellite tv receiver might be connected to the television's tuner and an av/composite/hdmi input. Make sure that it is not on the tuner input.
