wow that was quick.... Thanks.. I'll look around for the coolant..

I'm guessing not something you can pick up at the local store heh..



I'm still currious though .. if the tube is blown. would I still get the blue light?

ok so I drained all the fluid out and gave it a cleaning inside

it was really dirty .. and the fluid is somewhat yellow ish.

but still liquid.. I'll still look around for some fluid. I put the fluid back in ..And if I turn the screen dial so the light as dim as it can get and turn the focus down .. I can see A outline of a stick man I made in paintshop..very flickery and dim.

Thank you , you were right. ..but i screwed up big time.

after I had it working .I went and added more fluid .

and some went to the green tube side.. and I lost that tube I guess all the red tube is now showing a orange light ..



SO WITH THAT. heh.. your best to remove the 2 boards bellow

as well before doing any kind of fluid change on your own.

the center board can be moved over to the side . while your doing it.. Also tape up the wired so they stay in groups. red wires are closer to you from looking at the back I think I'll let my tv sit for a day or so before trying to plug it back in but I think I'll have to either chuck it or take it to a shop.



thanks for your help again.

thanks for the second reply.

after scewing up so much with something so simple I've decided to take it to a shop .. they said it will cost 100 to get a estimate. but thats fine now.. I'm also sure I hooked up the ground wire

to the wrong location ..there is one header on the highvoltage side that a ground wire goes to the coax in .



I pluged that cable ground into another header on the second board (center board) .. that turns out to pluged into that huge black thing with 3 red wire things that goes to the tubes. After correcting that problem I get 8 volts from that spot. But im sure I made something work to hard or something.. So now it looks like i'm looking at tons of work.. ..could explain wy my red went orange as well . The green tube does work I switched the cables around from red to green ect.. and the picture shows up on the green tube but then the red tube seems to be dead / shorted out .. If I switch it back then the green is once again dead.



what really suxs out of all of this I had it working again just to go screw it all up...



I wont be able to bring it in for a week or so .. but i'll post back the damage I did and what went.. incase somebody else in the world makes the same mistake.

would the entire center board be really expensive?

the one with the flyback i beleive its called... And is there any place I could actually order it? would the entire center board be really expensive?

Ok another queston.. On the bottom of the tube

there is a board.. I removed it and tested the diodes on it



There is one coming off pin10 and has a blue band on it

And with my meter I get no continuity through it .. Usually I would expect to get .5 one way and nothing the other.



So I removed it ans the same thing. however .. All three tubes

show the same affect with that diode . Should I get .5 on that diode?



I tried seaching the entire boards for another one with a blue band but cant find anything . only green bands and they give me the ..5 one way



its one of the glass diodes and i see no burning inside of any of the three of them . Ok another queston.. On the bottom of the tube

=) thatnks ..



the board number is

lchdr crt 3135 013 3261



I also had a burnt resistor didnt look burnt

but the other 3 boards gave 22k accept the green board was

0.. replaced that And got my green back =)



THE LOCATION OF THE DIODE IS 1205 ..



all three boards give the same the result



Also the blue is now having a lighting dance at the bottom

of the tube if I crank the focus .



And for the life of me I cant remember if my red was

actually orange looking or red.. heh.. cause it still looks

orange to me.



Anyways thank you once again the ppl at this site

are extremly helpfull .. thats actually what made me think

to test the resistors was from another post . =) thatnks ..

oh sorry one more thing before I ask you more things.

the diodes that are burnt. the marking on the back

to not have a symbol of a doide and do not give the direction

of current.. Is it possible you would also have that information

.

it looks like from pin 10 the band is closest to the pin for those diodes oh sorry one more thing before I ask you more things.

would you think they are all fine then? I get no ohms through them. but maybe im not suppose to. would you think they are all fine then? I get no ohms through them. but maybe im not suppose to.

I have not tried switching the blue board for the green board yet.. ill try that now ..to see if that fixes my blue problem.. I think im extremly close to getting it working again ..I think im back at the start now with the blue screwing up.. its there but blury and hallow effect if i crank the focus constant hissing at the bottom of the tub and a constan bright spark ..if i move the board around the spark thing moves as well.

ok I was going to switch them yesterday .. the only probllem i found was the thick white wire ..that goes to the focus dial.

to remove that wire It looks like I have to unsolder the entire header for the tube .. .. Or would it be safe to leave that wire in place on both boards and just switch all the other wires?

Hi , Ok I switched around the boards.. and the same

dance.. at the bottom.



With the focus cranked..

I'm only about 5 mm away from the crosshair looking normal

but if I leave it on to long the blue light starts to flicker alot.



How much can you get the tube for including your time and cost. if its actualy the tube... A local shop said it would cost

100 dollars for a quote .. so i'm thiniking that might not be bad. seing im so close now with your help...



In the service menu I have error 17 00 00 00 ect.. if thats any help ...



If you need the tube number .. let me know I just have to find it heh. looks like i have to take it out to find it maybe. Hi , Ok I switched around the boards.. and the same

Ok that sounds great. Will I be paying you through paypal?

my convergence rings are also full of fluid i think as well.

as they turn 360 in both direction extremly freely



what started all of this was prob fluid and I had grounded out

my flyback (the thing with the 3 red wires going to it) connected

the ground wire to a header that is pretty much directly connected to one of the legs.. when the ground wire was pluged in the wrong spot..my blue light would go extremly dim.

and thats when i think my red turned orange. but im so blinded by the light now ..I forget if the light was actually orange looking or suppose to be red. ..



So with that I might be bugging you for a flyback as well if possible. that is... . Ok that sounds great. Will I be paying you through paypal?

Thank you .. do you need my email to set up the transfer?





I'll give the tube a shot first.

oky all done.. and now i'll go into silence untill my part arives..

I think i might have problems taking the red wire out.. without dying.=) .....Anyways.. Thank you so much for your help up to now. oky all done.. and now i'll go into silence untill my part arives..

hello got the tube today.

Not so good.. so far..

At first it was just a a blur on the screen. about 4 inchs wide on the screen in the lens about 2 inchs ..



I put some brand new fluid inside.. and now its a bit clearer.

but its still only displaying a 4 inch bar on the screen and same

within the tube... I switch back to my old tube and i get

a full screen a tad out of focuse with lots of sparks at the bottom.



So my question now is ..? Is the tube i got doa.?

or is there some settings I might have to play with to make it wider? .. I also changed the lens thinking that might of been the problem...
