Pictureis very bright

Measure B+ on the set , If normal check G2 voltage


G2 adjustment is on the Flyback Transformer

Try balancing the tubes out, turn your color all the way down and the brightness in the middle, then find the focus block, it will be a block with 6 controls one row will say screen the other will say focus near the picture tubes, adjust the screen controls(one control for each color) until the picture has a good black and white look to it, then turn your color up and it should look fine. This is how i balance out the picture. But there is another method that allot of techs use, the other method is to adjust the brightness up until you see what is called retrace lines it is a jagged line going down the screen, once you see these lines back the adjustment down just until they disappear. Do this for all three colors. This method works but on an older set can throw the white balance off because of tube wear.

Those are retrace lines, the screen controls which are a technical control located under the front gray panel of your tv needs adjusted. This also could be an indication of a bigger problem, most common would be the focus block failing. it could also be of the picture tubes failing but this is not as common or possibly the crt driver ic's. There are specific diagnositc steps to preform to isolate the potental failure. this could lead to the tv going very bright then shutting down.
The first thing a tech is going to do is to adjust the screens and leave, somtimes this is enough, but sometimes it is not. if you want to try and adjust the screen i have an instruction set below, but i must warn you that there are high voltages present when attempting this adjustment and can be dangerous if you are un familure with tv repair.

change the 33uf 35v at the vertical filter

Thans!

vertical output ic needs to be resoldered. careful leaving that bright line displayed on the screen as this will cause a permanent phosphor burn into the tube. this can not be corrected once burned unless you replace the tube. mch

I am having this problem too any ideas

The Problem Philips 27TS54 c101 27B800-7562 White horizontal line in the center of the screen. Color is present in the first half inch of the leftist corner of the horizontal line.
Audio is present and controllable. The green power led from a cold non plugged in state remains solid until CRT goes to ignite. A click is heard then the green power LED blinks.
I found service manual diagram of repair part or parts and install instructions

I request any info or tips you might have pertaining to this problem
Thank-you

On the CRT circuit board(picture tube), you will find R3340, which is a 10 ohm 1/3w resistor. The location of the resistor is printed on the bottom of the ckt board. It is burned open, replace with a 10 ohm 1/2w resistor. This will solve your problem. The original resistor was sized too small, should have been a 1/2 watt. This resistor is mounted standing up on ends. Mount the replacement resistor the same way. Be careful and don't get the circuit trace too hot and damage the circuit trace. (it's very small) The resistor is located on the crt(cathode ray tube), pcb(printed circuit board) socket. The resistor supplies apx +200v to the collectors of the r, g, b, video driver transistors. If this voltage is low, it causes excess brightness(excess beam current), causing the set to "shut-down". If the shut-down is too quick, you will NOT see the excess brightness, because the picture tube has not warmed-up enough to display anything on the picture tube. To see if the set displays "excess brightness", you will need to turn the set "on" about 5 to 10 times. This will heat the picture tube enough to display "excess brightness", IF that is the PROBLEM. Of course, there are OTHER defects that will cause a tv to shut down. There are built in safety circuits, that will "activate" if excess voltage/current or heat is detected anywhere in the set.

NOTE
My resistors are not numbered the same on my crt board APT187. GSM 02/20/2008

Sounds like the flyback transformer is bad. couple of 100 dollars if it is that

i think this is the called picture in jail. this might be due to 1 power supply reg.poor or filter cap dry. 2 loose or dry joint nera hor. output section or capacitor in eht section.

caution whenever you see horizontal line please reduce brightness of your tv for safety of crt. your problem in vertical section only mostly due to loose contact in connector,print or loose components.
