Panasonic PT-53WX53G

Sound okay,No picture. Light squiggly line runs from top to bottom in center. Prior to failure I had to adjust convergence multiple times to bring words back into focus.

- No, the line is in the center, it is blue/green in color and is only noticeable with low room light.

- Any suggestions?

Sep 25, 2009

- I will look at thtat and reply. Thanks

- Found c509 and removed (wes4743, 250v), no obvious damage but I will get new part. I noticed some discoloration to the pcb under R1510, R1511, R1514, R1518, & R1542 is that normal? They look as though they are expected to get hot, they are installed about 3/8" off the pcb, ceramic maybe 1/8th watt.

- Can I clean the projection lenses with windex, or could you suggest a product that would be safe for use? Thanks

- WFS 4743

- Its been a while since I've looked at caps is a 4743 the same as a 474K? I have a 474K 2A but no voltage raiting it is slightly larger in size than the one I removed.

- having a hard time finding a store that sells components in this area, might take a day or two but I will find one.

- I need to clarify the cap value. Marked on the cap is 4743, I thought the second 4 would be the multiplier 4 = 10,000 pF (10 nF or 0.01 uF), which I think would make the cap a .47 uF. I just want to double check before I purchase and install. I am not familiar with a four digit value code. Thanks

- odered part at partstore.com, I will let you know the outcome once I've received the part and installed it. Thanks

Oct 02, 2009

- received part today, will not be able to install for a couple days, will post with results. Thanks

Oct 14, 2009

- Installed part and picture came back, there might still be a convergance problem but I will adj. converg. and watch for a couple days. If something else comes up I will post. Thank you very much for your time and advice this is a great website for the amature TV repairman.

- sorry for the delay, PA archery season opened on Oct. 3rd

Clarification Request

Posted by SD Tech on Sep 29, 2009

part number for the cap is ECWF2474JSR

Posted by SD Tech on Sep 28, 2009

The cap is a .047 @ 200 volts-----you can use a cap of the same value with at least a 200 volt rating or more.....

Posted by SD Tech on Sep 26, 2009

you can use windex but spray it on a paper towel and not directly on the lens. Yes those resistors do discolor the board and it is normal.

Posted by SD Tech on Sep 24, 2009

Locate C509 on the main board--it is brown and if it has a crack in its side--it is gone---sometimes it will look perfect and be bad---seen several of these sets with this trouble

Posted by SD Tech on Sep 23, 2009

is the line a unusual area towards the right side of the screen?
