Toshiba 61 inch rear projection scrambled picture

Nov 01, 2009

- It is a good model number but I cannot locate any information about it other than features----I suspect it is one of their last projection sets made----

A LOT OF THEIR SETS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HYPER BOARD---You may want to contact Toshiba and see what they have to say---

If it is a Hyper board it will not be available---the one in the set will have to be removed and repaired or rebuilt.

- It depends on the model number---usually you have to get the board out or the entire chassis out--some of their later sets were a nightmare to get apart--all of these had a very small back cover that only allowed you to look inside---about a foot tall and two feet wide--if you have that one you have real trouble---you are able to apply pressure to the main boards and clear the problem up?

I presume the set has not been shipped or moved recently----be careful if you probe around with it on as there are dangerous voltages present---use something not metal and wear a glove---try to narrow it down to one specific area.

What could be wrong is a bad solder connection or connections---if you get it apart far enough with a Magnifier look carefully at any plugs or connectors where boards plug into the main board.

Remember, I do this here for free so do not forget to rate my information.

- Yes, I suspected that--it has Pal etc---not likely you are going to find parts for it here

SD TECH---be careful---no Tv is worth getting hurt over.

- Are you telling me the set was shipped from Manila or some place there to here? I would suspect you have a hairline crack---

if the set has the large back cover---you could verify this with a photo---I cannot give MY email address here but you ....

Most of these sets have a large chassis with a plastic frame---if it has this the idea is to unbolt the chassis and flip it up so the bottom of all the boards faces the back of the set--this way you can take a real close look at the boards for any signs of damage or bad connections.

Usually you are going to have to unplug several plugs and release some bundles of wires from ties that hold them to get enough slack on the cables to do this---varies by model---I would try this before you try to just unbolt and remove a single large board--less chance of damage----mark and make a diagram of all the plugs you unplug so you know where they go exactly.


Many times flexing the board in one area will affect a bad connection or crack several inches away--bad connections are one thing--but if there is a crack you need a bright light to see it--if you find a crack I can depending on how long it is--tell you how to fix that--called hard wiring.

- I doubt you will be able to get at the boards by laying it on its side unless you intend to cut some wood away---bottom ought to be pressed wood.

- unusual for these sets--when you turn it over do it carefully and see what you can find.

SD TECH---I AM IN CALIFORNIA AND WILL RETURN HERE TOMORROW.

- Look again to make sure you did not create a new problem--make sure any boards you removed are seated--you understand now why I suggested lifting the chassis instead of what you did.

Make sure you did not miss anything---look for any cracks etc---it is a good idea to clean the board with a small brush with acetone where ever you solder to remove any flux etc.
