Just unhook the leads and away you go..........................
Most likely in that model, it's Cold Solder Joints.. A dried out capacitor will not create those issues. Happy soldering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You probably got an after-market in which they don't hold up as well. If it's in an RCA box with there part number you just got a bad one. Any set will not let HV go anywhere except what it's suppose to have. They will go into shutdown until the problem is fixed. so to answer your question about HV, the answer is NO. Make sure you clean the anode leads off with alcohol before putting them back into the splitter. I have had the anode cups dry out, crack etc...

Thanks for your help on that. I replaced the splitter and the TV works fine, but intermittently. I have a problem with the convergence going haywire now. Sometimes the TV will work fine for hours, then the next time I turn it on the convergence will be way out of whack and I'll get a pincushion effect on the bottom, sometimes the top. I think it's a capacitor in the convergence circuit failing to hold a charge, or possibly a cold solder joint. It's going to be fun locating the culprit since I don't have the schematic for it.
Okay Crickett, you've helped me before, I could use your advice again. I replaced my HV Splitter and the TV was working fine for about a month, now there's a glitches and a popping sound coming from the new part. Is it possible that the HV Tripler is defective and putting out too much voltage to the HV Splitter causing it to go bad prematurely, or do you think I just received a defective part? At any rate, I'm going to call Suburban Electronics and see if I can get a replacement. I'm just not sure if I should go ahead and replace the Tripler as well.
