Brief Startup Problem

Hello,
you need a converter:
TV RCA AV video In to PC VGA LCD CRT Out Converter Adapter Switch Box

glad you got it going.

Retrevo has the manual for the 36A43 here: http://www.retrevo.com/support/Toshiba-36A43-TVs-manual/id/311ag723/t/2/ . You will need to enter a code to download the PDF.

I hope this helps.

If you can get the tv to display the blue blackground(usually happens when there is no antenna or cable feed to tv) check to see if the whole screen is a solid blue, if it shows discolored areas around the screen then you might have to "demag" the screen. See if you can rent a demad coil from a tv shop and with tv on turn the coil in circular movements all over the front of screen till blue is solid.good luck!

on startup a television is subjected to severe inrush currents this sometimes results in a blown fuse in the psu stage most often at cold startup...this is the place to start...remove and test psu fuse...take precaution when working on tv as many high voltages exist sometimes even long after power is turned off...avoid the high voltagte thick red lead going into the tv tube or discharge if required the same applies to any high voltage reservoir capacitor/s in the psu stage

Horizontal deflection not functioning.

Hi

maybe you have weak filter capacitor! at the regulated power supply in cold area..

Thanks!

reset the settings using the user manual then the problem will be solved

It sounds like the horizontal output transistor may be shorted....Can you feel any static charge on the face of the pix tube?

It sure sounds like you have a classic case of bad solder joints. Resolder all the connections on all boards.
