i have a 6100 that i had working....not very good pic though(distorted but might have been Tempest pot adj also). never left running more than a min or two but was fine. i replaced a few things to get it in better shape but got worse of course! just trying to figure out if it could have been something i did to crack the flyback???
on the deflection pcb i installed the lv6100(Spaeth's), replaced the 2 big 4700 caps next to them, rectifier diodes next to them, fuses next to them as the lv2000 instructions tell you to. checked voltages (got +/-23v) at the pins suggested without anything plugged in, and yes, just like the instructions say, the deguassing resistor smoked. also, replaced the 6 transistors on frame and checked for direct shorts before plugging in! reflowed all trans. pins on deflection pcb also.
turned on and was up but looked like it needed severe deguassing. almost like vertical lines(vert mounted) of the colors kinda seperated. thought, even though direction say that that resistor smoking doesn't hurt anything....but you know where i was going until i heard a pop and no HV!
lv6100 leds were dim now and spot killer is off still but no HV. took off cage and these pics is what i see...looks like flyback popped and burnt up plenty others!
i never touched the cage prior...could i have installed anything incorrectly to cause this? i wouldn't think so since in LV/deflection section.
can this be salvagable now? if so, any help on why and how this happened?
thanks!
