PART NUMBER NEEDED

The model listed is an older set----usually if it HAS the splitter it is up front----but most there is not one as it is part of the high voltage transformer----look on the label on the rear where model number is for a Chassis number, that will tell me instantly if a splitter exists or not PTK-------

Failure of the HV splitter was a very common problem when I was doing these big screens on the road. The set won't come on if the splitter shorts. We used to test if that was the cause by pulling the HV input lead out of the splitter (leaving it still inside the plastic cup so it wouldn't arc anywhere) and turning the set on. Most often the set would fire right up (without picture of course).

I believe the RCA part number for the splitter is 205064, and it's available from a number of sources. I'm not home right now so I can't check. If I have the number wrong I'll post a follow-up comment.

The deflectionmodule will be almost impossible to get. However it sounds like you quite possibly only need a flyback 259296 and the HV splitter which are the two most common items to fail. you can get both parts at the following link along with free online tech support so you can repair your set yourself, or they can rebuild your Circuit board. Leave them a email include the model number and what you need.

Jerry,
I am assuming you need to get the HV lead out to remove the board. That model if I am not mistaken has the one large Red HV lead running from the flyback to the HV splitter where the other 3 large wires run to the CRts. If this is the case the trick is to remove the wire from the flyback at the splitter, I have found its easiest to slide the red rubber boot back then use a pair of pliers with tape on the jaws so as to not hurt the wire then grab the wire as close to the splitter block as possible then using a second pair of pliers like a hammer and hit the pliers holding the HV lead and thst will force the HV cable out of the Splitter block.

YOU HAVE A CRACKED HV SPLITTER--THIS IS NOT A REAL EASY JOB--GO TO YOUR LOCAL TV SERVIC COMPANY --YOU WILL NEED THE MODEL AND CHASSIS #'S ,,THERE IS ALSO A PART # ON THE BLOCK--PRICE SHOULD BE 75.00 OR LESS-GOOD LIUCK!!!!!!!!

From your description ..actually this is a common problem and no simpley replacing the resistor will not fix it. this chasis has a problem with what is called the high voltage splitter.. there was a number of these made with a defective splitter. RCA HAS ISSUED a service bulliteen for certain models and serial numbers. the board and the splitter is generally replaced. (I just worked on one of these 2 days ago and got and order in for the parts) ......just reread the tech bulliteen.. the spitter which develops a crack is rca part number 258512 the resistor or the part that burnt is resistor a common 27k 1/2 watt 10% carbon resistor

hi there i have the exact same tv and the exact same problem, i was just wondering if it was the hv splitter if so can you please let me know thank you

PS52690 52" projection TV (CTC188 series) that won't power up. From what I have read here and other places, the most common cause of this is the HV splitter. Actually, when the unit was 3 years old, the HV splitter went out and had to be replaced but it was under warranty at the time. I have found that the part I need is 205064 and runs around $40-$70
A post in another thread said that you could test to see if the HV splitter is really the problem by disconnecting the HV anode (big red wire) from the flyback (not the splitter since that will arc), plug the TV in, power it up, and if the power stays on and you hear sound, replace the HV splitter to fix the problem.

Is this the HV Splitter mounted need the crt's? If so the Part Nomber is 263092 Have not seen this part bad in the model d52w20. Have Replaced alot of IFT Transformer ref # LL008 part # 259296. With a credit card call 1-800-326-0313 Cumberland Electronics. Sending to brazil, unKown.

On the 205064 hv splitter with the splitter mounted in the set,left to right, hv transformer,red tube,green tube,blue tube,plug on right side goes to screen asy,the black wires plug on the left side of splitter,which are grounds.
