    Discharging Rear Projection TV

    I have a tv projection tv with a convergence problem. I want to replace the IC . Do I need to discharge the flyback since it is on the same board that I need to take out.

    If I need to discharge, how do i do it?

    You should not have to, If you need to remove the hv lead it should unplug from the hv splitter. Does this have all three leads going into the flyback, just push them down and give them a quarter turn and they should come out, you can then touch that lead to the metal chassis the crts are mounted to just in case but there usually is no charge on them.

      Nikkai EAPA 450 car amplifier rear speaker output is a low level and distorts easily
      by waigy
      As the title.
      I think these used to be sold in maplins a lot of years ago, it is an antique, but it's just fine for my needs.
      It looks basic enough inside with large components so I could do a full recap pretty easily.
      Any suggestions on what component would cause the symptoms of low volume output on both left and right rear speaker outputs?
      If I turn up the rear gain level in the amp until the speakers start to distort it starts to distort quickly even though the speakers are still pretty quiet.
      I thought I had dodgy speakers as I just fitted new old stock 6x9s in...

      Faulty CRT AKF12/Philips CM8500: bad flyback?
      by tony359
      Hi all,

      I have a CRT (Acorn AKF12, based on the 240V version of the Philips CM8500) which has stopped working. It's making a high pitched noise but not too high. I know this is symptom of a faulty flyback.

      What happens when a flyback fails? I see that the main voltages out of the PSU are not reaching rated values, as if there is a short.
      There are supposed to be 125V/26.5V/15.5V outputs but I am reading something like 48V, 10V and 8V. If I unplug the PSU from the rest of the PCB, I can measure the expected values.

      Can it be a short somewhere...

      Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
      by spleenharvester
      Hi friends

      I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

      Repair Success! Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP
      by valvashon
      Yesterday I successfully repaired a Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP that had inadvertently been used as a surge suppressor at our transmitter site. It has already been replaced with an updated one but it's coming home with me now instead of being e-cycled. To be specific, this is the MA model that has the blue backlit display and has been discontinued, although this design may have been used in many UPS units including the smaller Middle Atlantic ones in this series.



      Here's what happened: We experienced a brownout/surge at the site, which damaged the UPS and took our broadcasting...

      Making a capacitor discharge tool
      by redwire
      I'm making a new capacitor discharge tool. Asking for suggestions for sizing the discharge resistor.
      Mr. Carlson's Lab High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Tool 1 is using 4 of 1kΩ 50W aluminum (mount to heatsink) resistors in series for 4kΩ 200W, so it's big, which is fine.
      His Patreon but I don't have a paid subscription for the project details but it looks straightforward. The plastic box with aluminum plate can't get rid of any amount of that heat though.
      Wirewound resistors can be overloaded by a factor of 5 for 5sec. and a factor of 10 for brief times. I've never tried say...
