Everything red is on fire with an ugly pink shadow!!

This is caused by a device on the television called the "flyback". It is the most dangerous part on the TV and should be set by a trained technician. What is occurring is the flyback is going in and out of it's correct setting by the device that sets the voltage output of it. It is called the Focus Foyer or similar flyback control. Take it to a technician. Have him give you an estimate - I usually set the cost of repair to 50% of the original cost of the unit - beyond that it would be cost INeffective. Hope this helps

CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed. Notice how dull the colors are and how white the screen looks. The screen may also look red, orange, dull, etc.



TV set after fluid change. Notice how bright the colors are now. Everthing looks crisp and sharp again.





Solution #2


What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc.

HELLO MY FRIEND. YOU PROBLEM IS THE CONVERGENCE STKS, WHEN THIS IC'S ARE BAD YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENTS BY REMOTE CONTROL,IF YOU OPEN THE SET LOOK FOR TWO BLACK PARTS WITH SAME SHAPE AND NUMBER.YOU CAN BUY THIS PARTS ON LINE AND REPLACED THEM PRETTY EASY IF YOU HAVE REPAIR SKILLS AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO UNPLUG THE SET BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
YOU WILL NEED A SOLDERING IRON, A DESOLDERING TOOL AND SOME SOLDER, YOU CAN GET ALL OF THIS THINGS AT RADIO SHACK.IF NOT CALL THE REPAIRMAN HE SHOULD NOT CHARGE YOU MORE THAT $250.00 FOR THIS JOB WITH PARTS INCLUDED.
GOOD LUCK

Your tv has a convergence board problem. Have a technician replace the convergence IC's.

I am looking for a couple of parts for my zenith tv model # A27A11D.

Hi,

A short answer, YES. I suspect a cold solder on the red drive transistor. That transistor is one of 3 identical components (one for each of the blue & green). They are normally found in a small squarish PCB that is connected to the rearend of the picture tube. In some instances, they are also heatsinked. More often you need to remove the shield/screen protecting the foil side of the PCB. This has to be done gently since it can easily crack the glass holding the pins.

Cold Solders are corrected by applying heat from a soldering iron and probably a dab of solder lead. Solder joints should be shiny (not dull gray) with no air bubbles.

If your concern has not been corrected after completion of the above procedures, you may need to replace the red drive transistor. it might also be worth your while to check for any other component that may suffer from cold solder and/or any loose connection(s).

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FIXYA.

possibly c3416 100uf 25v and c3413 22uf 63v capacitors in the power supply or replace the module if you can get one part number is 9-1791-01

replace it and also the power regulator

Possible "blooming"==red CRT, adjust screen control==qualified tech only.

When you have the back off, look for the flyback (high voltage) transformer. This is the part that has the thick red wire protruding from its top which attaches to the top of the picture tube with a suction cup. On the flyback there are 2 controls, the bottom one is screen and the top one is focus. Turn the bottom control (screen) down (counterclockwise) until the white lines go away and the brightness looks normal. Then turn the top control (focus) until the picture is nice and sharp. If the F connector has been pulled out and the TV has RCA (red, white, yellow) jacks, use those jacks and set the TV to INPUT.
