tv did it again channel box went off no big pop this time tho just no low power again which is the 120 am fuse i think the connector is faulty cause i moved it around and got it to work and thats where the problem was when i was using the ohm meter so anyone know what those clips are called that hold the fuse i wana replace it for good so i can get the tv working again

Re: sears sr 3000 crt tv oct 1987

u think that would work ? cause what happens if it ever pops in the future ?

Re: sears sr 3000 crt tv oct 1987

It is what i do, just solder leads to the fuse and solder to the PCB... Just desolder the bugger if it goes. yeah if its popping all the time will be a pain but shows there is something popping it and finding the cause would be best

yeah i cleaned it check everything and then i roll the ohms to the fuse no ohms messed with it for a bit then got a connection and then it turned on i even redid the fly back as well so i'm hoping that will work been 2 weeks and all of a sudden today turned on for 2 sec then no channel box and screen so yeah i'll do it tomorrow when i get up cause its to late to work on it now everyone sleeping

Well I give you props for at least trying to repair the tv. At least you're gaining experience in the field.

yes i have had better luck with other stuff i did pull it apart it blew a wire on the flyback that i soldered so yeah not worth redoing it again i made sure it was done right but something made it spark and come off but its all good i have another crt tv my fiance gave me from storage a zenth so i will play nes and other stuff on it and that works ok for now for the basement cause upstairs we have flat screens this is just for the family room
