When ever there is some strong white on the screen it gets distored. For example. There was a white tent on screen and where the light was hitting it it was extremely pixelated and distorted. Ny ideas?
Hello
This fault can occur to mainly three reasons. ABL circuit failure. Low screen voltage or lack of emission from picture tube cathode. Just advance the screen voltage to a little, and observe the result. Screen control can be located on its Line Output Transformer [LOT]. there will be two variable controls built on to LOT marked as screen and focus. Screen control will be at lower side, and focus will bw on the top. Just advance [clockwise movemnt] to a little, not more, advance it till retrace lines are just visible on the screen. Before doing this, set all the picture controls, contrast, colour and brightness of the TV to zero. Once the retrace lines[thin horozontal white lines across the entire screen at about 1 inch distance with each other]; are visible, stop there, turn the screen control counterclockwise to just a point when these lines are just goes off. make this adjustment in a dark room so that you can set this point very correct. After this check the perfomance of the picture. If this does not help you, ABL circuit should be checked for any fault.
If emission of the picture tube has got down, even the screen adjustment said above won't help you. The only way is to replace the picture tube with same type and number. OK.
I have the same problem in all modes except for video. It use to occur with every picture and then I cleaned the lense. This seemed to really help. However, it does not totally fix the problem. It still occurs in 1 out of 5 pictures. When it does occur I remove the batteries, then replace them. I also clean the lense again. Its not the perfect solution, but at least the camera partially functions correctly. I suspect there is a fault in the camera's ability to determine the correct light and distance settings.
